I think most of us would rather not have had COVID. It has been devastating for many economies and it took a bad toll on people. However it has had some side benefits (some may argue that having Trump removed for now may be one of them, LOL).

I am talking about the digital revolution that was already taking place, yet still had some bumps along the road to occur, and has been forcefully implemented by many companies that required their people to keep on working. I am also talking about the immense number of new influencers and subscription services that had increased their adept several times-fold. All this would have taken ages otherwise.

No matter how well people try to twist it, I am still not happy about this Coronavirus. This covid have ruined a lot of things, especially the place I live, things have changed a lot. This virus brought economies down and led to hunger in a lot of societies these days. And when there is too much hunger people will start living reckless lives to survive, there will be a high rate of crime which is very bad.

So, tell me why exactly I should be happy about coronavirus? Of course it did bring a digital revolution, but what's the need for a digital revolution? We don't even need that, I will choose peace of mind over that.

I understand your sentiment. No one will ever love this pandemic because of the drastic changes it brought to the world.

However, OP is right that despite of the drastic changes we have right now, some have also brought positive enhancement for the people. Like the virtual activities that are mostly encouraged by now. People are more inclined to the high technology gadgets nowadays so they can cope up with the fast changing world brought by this pandemic. And people of today are more concerned already about their personal hygiene and how to maintain cleanliness so they will end up virus and bacteria free.
