To the Editor;
Just think of all the money we’re going to save because of this pandemic:
• Gambling halls will be closed down
• 6/49 and Lotto Max can be played only on-line
• Reduced out-of-town travelling
• Swimming pools and exercise gyms closed
• Churches closed, so no more tithing
• Far less eating out
• Drinking establishments closed – far cheaper to drink at home
• No more flying to far off destinations
Other positive things:
• It should revive our reading skills
• Spending more time with family (time will tell in nine months whether this was a positive thing)
• More sun on my solar panels with airplane contrails down to near zero
Possible negative things:
• More spousal abuse due to necessary close contact
• Small businesses going bankrupt
• Increased unemployment
• Tenants unable to pay rent
A question: Can we put off paying utility and mortgage payments?
