I have seen many articles and segments about the air quality being cleaner all over. It seems common sense. I preferred driving five miles and seeing a bunch of students at a school to sitting in a shed and trying to connect on-line, but it would be much better if my Zoom meeting invitations were working. I submitted a ticket or two, but I doubt that I will hear back satisfactorily anytime soon.

I hope that many people continue to have the option of working from home. My agency pays me significantly better in beautiful Show Low than in Flagstaff, which is plagued with hippies, or Phoenix, with 115° summers and horrible traffic. Employment options are better in Phoenix than Flagstaff and the cost of living is lower, but do you want beige or green?

I would love to have the option of continuing teletherapy, but I would expect them to cut my pay in half.

Would you rather spend 50% of your time driving or virtually 100% of your time working with people for the same pay?

Of course, it only helps if I can get more clients.

I know that millions and millions have applied for unemployment, but what percentage of people are able to maintain their hours working from home? How much cleaner would the air be if this continued?

It seems like about half of politicians are happy to ignore an existential threat three months away.
