What if lessons learned from pandemic include these:

When faced with adversity we should always recognize the accompanying opportunities to learn. This pandemic is certainly the face of adversity these days, so what might we learn from our current situation?

* Home schooling aka distance learning is doable.
* Millions, maybe trillions,  of dollars could be saved by eliminating school buildings
* Washing hands is a necessary routine more so even than brushing teeth
* Essential workers do not include athletes or entertainers or actors, but do include gas station attendants, truck drivers, grocery store clerks, supporting healthcare workers, et. al. AND pay is adjusted accordingly.
* Having an adequate food supply on hand at home is a better idea than being reliant on restaurants
* Family First.
* Prayer is a daily necessity in every life and not just something to turn to when things are rough.
* There have been no reported mass shootings ... are guns quarantined as well as people?
* Gun and ammo sales are skyrocketing ... still no recent mass shootings reported.
* It’s okay to be nice to one another and help others out, not just in times of need, but always.
* It’s true that adversity reveals character: see politicians as proof of this. Some are proving leadership while others are trying to push radical agendas attached as “pork” to emergency relief bills.
* From crisis comes invention. What are the inventions to shape our future that will come from this crisis?
* I saw students designing and making 3 D masks for healthcare workers. How cool is that?
* Being on social media and doing TV interviews while you’re supposed to be at home is going to negatively impact your future job prospects.
