Silver Lining of the Pandemic Cloud

[Roccus7]

Now, in now way am I saying the Pandemic was a good thing and I'm glad it happened, but even in a total disaster, there can always be some glimmers of hope.

For example:

• Carbon emissions and traffic are way down because many are staying at/working from home
• The family dog is overjoyed seeing Mom, Dad and/or its brothers and sisters around to play with
• The COVID vaccines are employing "novel" molecular biological techniques, that have been used in R&D for as long as decades, in "Prime Time"

This article caught my eye today, seeing a picture of a very lonely Mona Lisa:

With the Louvre closed because of the pandemic, museum officials are pushing ahead on a grand restoration and cleanup.
