It worked. It really worked. It is small consolation to those who didn’t make it. But we did. We did what needed to be done and the result? Well, look around. Lakes and streams are clear, wild life is once again thriving and the air . . . the air is clean, almost sweet. The oceans are teaming with healthy, vibrant fish. There is no haze around the sun or the moon. The beaches are pristine. Our planet is healing. Finally, we got something right. All it took was removing us from the equation. We were almost too late. Now we can rest, together.

Amazing, isn’t it? But at some point the masses will be out and about, bringing with them all their old habits. For an intelligent species, we still tend to backpedal a lot.

I know this will never happen but what if . . .

According to “experts” it IS happening in our lakes and rivers and ponds, but not on a grand scale. Healthy fish and plant life are back. But as soon as you add in humans again, we’ll likely lose what we’ve
gained.
What a shame that your story is only a “wishful thinking” tale. I like your version much better than reality!

It works. The longer I stay inside, the warmer it is getting. I’ll bet in another couple of months, I could go out in shirtsleeves. That is, if they will let me go out.

My sentiments too. I feel that Covid is a way of forcing us to take a step back to realise how destructive our habits are for mother earth Gaia
