Yes, the Earth will cool again, but it takes thousands of years for the cycling, we probably won't be here by then or maybe just a few leftover humans perhaps living underground. Maybe by then most humans have colonized and proceeded to destroy other planets?

About the stay at home directives: all the men who are straying, having affairs, (AND THEY DO!) are now home with their families. After this is all over, many changes will come about. Men will see themselves as they really are, not as the image they are trying to project. There will be much introspection into what people really want and need to bring them happiness. Things will be dumped upside down and sorted out.
Families will be so much closer or will break apart.
Mankind will now have time to search and sort, evaluate, find out what is most meaningful to them. Adultery will now be reevaluated. The measure of a man will be visable now to those around him.

Um..... Really, all men do not stray....I don't know who you are, but you are insulting every lady here.....
I won't be fresh for what I wanted to say.....Jeez!!!!

Well, IMO anyway.......some give way too much , incorrect credit to the human influence of 'destroying' the planet.

The cycles can be as short as a few hundred years -- an eye-blink against the 4.5 billion years of the life of the planet. Around 500 years ago there was a devastating mini-ice age in Europe. Crops failed, people starved.

Where I live, 10 or so thousand years ago, there was a 1-2 mile-thick ice sheet covering the land. Why did it form, and why did it disappear? Did the cavemen do it?

Whether the cycles are man-made or not, my point is that they take a long time to change. Even a "few hundred years" of extremely hot climate, everything will die including plant life, animals, people.

Statistics show that now, (2020) 22% of married men admit to having an extramarital affair at least once. My post is not discusting. It's reality!

Actually, that 22% is undereporting, those are only the % of married men that were honest enough to ADMIT it. I think the incidences are much higher, and with women now having the pill, even women are catching up to men in the cheating department.
 
Bidder? What's bidder? You mean bitter? Not anymore. Many, many people have gone through the remains of adultery. Peppermint. There is nothing wrong with my post. I'm not insulting anyone. Why don't we end this before we get in a catfight?

Another good thing about this, (if there are any good things about this) is an unpresidented government solidarity; even a worldwide solidarity against this disease. Maybe people will view others in different perspectives from now on.

It all sounds nice, but I my experience, people don't change that much. Color me pessimist.

And China's smog has cleared a lot, I bet now they can see stuff in the distance they could never see before.

Carol, did the water also stink? I've heard that the residents throw urine out the windows into the water. True? Ewww!

I don't remember any particularly bad smells, but lots of fumes from the vaporetti and mobs and mobs of people. And it was so, so hot! It was not our favorite place.

What about the women who are straying having affairs? (AND THEY DO!) Are they now home with their families?
Will women "see themselves as they really are, not as the image they are trying to project?
Will the measure of a woman be visible now to those around her?

My ex wife was the cheater, but I don't go around saying "Women stray....women have affairs." I say "People stray; people have affairs."

Interesting, ain't it.....your one-sided world. ;)

It's "Reality." Much like your man hating.
A very common pattern: A woman makes a bad choice, marries a bum, then when it doesn't work, says all men are this & that so they can appear like a victim instead of a fool. Much easier than admitting they make stupid choices.
If you're single, please stay that way.

We must live in two different countries. I sure don't see any "unprecedented government solidarity."
 
While I see your point and agree to a degree, these things that are shut down are costing people their jobs. When the pool of the unemployed is at a normal rate, it's one thing but with what could be (probably is) millions of people out of work at the same time, it's a disaster for too many everyday working people/families. We already had a problem with too many hungry children and families, too many homeless and we certainly don't need for those numbers to grow by the millions or even thousands.
