RIP Uncle Stan Nagatani (1940-2022) (and a list of strangely positive things to come out of Covid)

Believe it or not, there have been a few good things to come out of Covid.

Here’s a few…

* greater acceptance of work-from-home in many sectors

* I’d say that it’s caused many people to reassess their work-life balance

* many people are also saving money by going out less for restaurants, entertainment, shopping.

* general acceptance of masking/hand sanitizer may result in less illness overall (though it doesn’t feel like it these days)

* increased limit for tap on debit and credit cards is convenient (especially given the rising price of groceries!)

* so many events that you had to attend in person are now online – from workshops to courses to funerals.  Shea works with pregnant women and previously, they would have to make an effort to get to the hospital, possibly find care for other kids at home, pay for parking, etc. to take her classes.  Now they are all offered online.  Or if your Uncle in Hawaii passes away, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to watch the funeral without having to be there in person as would have likely been the case only a few short years ago.
