   Which makes sense. The lockdown has meant that they aren't bothered by our presence anymore, the cities have become quiet, pollution is down, the roads are clearer, and things are just plain better.
   
   

   If you are down to your last dollar, probably you will be cheered to learn that American billionaires added $280 billion to their accounts thanks to the lockdown, and now they are worth $3.3 trillion. They like the lockdown so much that they consider objectors to be white supremacists and ‘Nazis’, and that is the worst label they can imagine.
   
   The emergency situation is mighty good for people in charge. They rush through regulations; grab lands; form governments; create the “new normal”, eliminate our rights, all using the virus as justification.

   We have been told by someone high up that things at work will never be returning to the ways they were before. Remote working suits IT roles especially.
