For some the pandemic was a bizarre blessing, kicked off the work-from-home force, created more family time especially for those who were able to receive unemployment, gave many an ability to save money/invest, no one could be evicted and landlords where made whole by the govt, and lets not forget the backhanded blessing of the PPP loans rather your business was legit or not.

Of course that doesn't mean it was a field day by far but the pandemic had its advantages to.
