It seems the air quality has benefited greatly from this lock down with drops in some levels of pollution of 40% and more,

Now that has to be a blessing for so many people.

Has anyone noticed how much cleaner the Air is I wonder

Be Safe Stay Safe Keep Others Safe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, I remarked on this 2 weeks ago on Facebook, again this last weekend the levels have dropped even more. To hear the birdsong in the morning - it is so quiet, less hedgehogs being killed by traffic and many other creatures showing themselves, maybe we will get to hear crickets in hedgerows again during the summer

The animal life dose seem more abundant I live on a fairly busy road and the traffic I could tell roughly what time it was not now though.

Its a strange strange world at present sort of nice in many ways.

No planes flying

The motor vehicles on Airports need to be mapped so flight controllers know where they are at a given time. Wouldn't want a plane landing on them!

Good morning

Not sure what that was about unless you meant Zooney, Map.

The reality of the drop in fuel being burned, seems to of had a very fast and dramatically beneficial affect on the air quality, people seem to be noticing the blessing and the benefits it is bestowing.

Its just a substantial change that this dammed virus has inflicted, a lovely upside.

I do wonder how many long term beneficial changes it may indeed bring about.

It also seems people are reporting their belief that the wildlife seems more abundant.

I would agree with that or perhaps its just spring is well upon us.

Good though in it.

Peace and Good Health to you 😀😀

BBC Online I think it was on, they said as much as 60% reduction in some cities which is a huge reduction so that is good then.

Yes I was only talking to my husband about this the other day, the air quality and the wildlife, especially the fact that there is far less roadkill, the bird song is quite wonderful. They say every cloud has a silver lining. Although I doubt those working on the front line, and those who have lost loved ones will look at it that way.
