To your original comment. Not true, the planet will take this as a shock too because systems don't exactly like to be suddenly interrupted. There will of course be many positives but there will also be many negatives like plants getting less of the gases they need and less oxygen produced just all of a sudden this spring, dangerous animals having to be killed because they strayed to near the now quiet urban centres, many little things will get missed in these few months and many mistakes will be made such as listings of chemical containers in storage for example being misplaced only to erode into the environment at some point down the line as they are forgotten under compnaies that have gone under.

We will loose professionals in many feilds who have unique qualities or knowledge and can't easily be replaced... so lets say an outbreak happens in an area with a nuclear power plant, Shefield in the UK for example, and it's a gamble if key employees get sick, maybe make mistakes becuase of it or god forbid have two or three key older employees die and the young bloods fuck up with no mentorship, at the very least it puts so many systems in a state of flux.

Alas, everything is in a state of agitated flux right now for better or worse. The planet will get positives but it is so much more likely to get negatives should this all go terribly and irreparably sideways. Like I've been saying for years, life on this planet only survives without severe pain and misfortune for thousands of years, if humans succeed. 

One thing is for sure, shit is about to get really fucking weird on this planet.

Whoever's behind it

We'll see in following months - or years.

What do you know what the planet cares about?

Same at my job. We're in constant "pressure" ( They don't say it outright) to outperform our usual quota as if we were in a Holiday rush. People were going along for the first few weeks but now even the most hardcore workers (workaholics basically) are getting tired and skipping some of their optional overtime.

I never knew people could buy so much potato chips in my life ....

Personally I don't care. Zoom's been absolutely great, compared to Teams and it saved my arse on few occasions already. Besides, routing does not mean sniffing. Lots of your data's being routed everyday, all over the world, including Russia, Iran and China. And even if, (at least in my case) somebody's gonna get free IT course.
