1. Improved relations.

Most employees realised the value of their families during this pandemic, which proved that the family stays with one during difficult times but not their employer. Everyone started loving their family members more than their job due to the lockdown. Good employers stood apart from their evil counterparts by encouraging Work From Home for their employees and not cutting down their paychecks. Employees started having a good work-life balance due to COVID-19. There was also improved cooperation among Nations. Some families lost their householder’s jobs or family members to let them know the value of relations, which is sad. The real frenemies were exposed during this pandemic which is good for all of us.

2. Less traffic, less pollution, & a better environment.

Since many employers encouraged their employees to telecommute or remote work, this helped many of us to stay at home and save time & money by avoiding work travel, thus reducing traffic, causing less pollution and creating a denser ozone layer for a better environment. This better environment would have even helped other animals and species which might have gone extinct without the Corona pandemic.

3. Public got health conscious and healthier.

Until the pandemic started, many people were careless about their health, and more people were admitted to hospitals for emergencies earlier. This has come down a lot during the last year because of the cleaner air, a better environment, and a rise in public awareness about their health. As a result, people became more healthy due to good work-life balance.

4. New trends in education.

Kids and children during this lockdown were attracted to new online education, and many of them got acquainted with computers, thus making everyone IT savvy. This trend mushroomed many online Ed-Tech startups, of which many are into huge gains. So this new norm will be there to stay.

5. Rise in food delivery startups.

As many people were not allowed to leave their homes during the lockdown, food delivery startups worldwide have seen an exponential rise in customers and orders. This kind of business stays until the 3D food printers arrive in the market, which can connect to the Internet and print the dish of our taste.

6. Profitable pharmaceutical businesses.

Do we need an explanation of why pharmaceutical firms had exponential growth in their business during this pandemic? No, right! We all know that these firms are minting money during this period.

7. Real estate rates dropped in metros.

Since many IT employees left the metros and moved to their hometowns, the real estate prices in metros dropped unexpectedly, thus encouraging some people to buy real estate in metros. At the same, there was a spike in real estate prices in towns, thus creating developed towns.
