    Default Potential POSITIVE effects of corona virus

    How about we think positive for a change,what benefits can we expect from the virus.I would suggest that in 9 months time we will see a baby boom.Which should be a boost to the dairy industry.

    Onya steveb.

    Crises bring out the best and worst in people. I have seen that in people I know and different posters on this forum. I have certainly gained greater insight through this.

    What will be a financial disaster for some will be a positive for others. There is no getting away from that. Many who are seeing their portfolio shrink day by day may well be in a position to regain it on the way back up. It's just hard to look ahead when you are swimming in mud.

    These times may also give some an entry to the property ladder that they thought was beyond them. If you keep your job (and most will) there will be opportunities for people. Sadly at other's loss. That said, many have been sitting on a paper profit on their houses anyway. As long as they are not heavily leveraged they will be fine in the long run too.

    A cap on inbound tourism to NZ...Say 1 million visitors max in a 12 month period. That will take a lot of pressure off infrustructure in that sector and the labour market.
    Substantial increases in international airfares.
    Thats just two.

    Hopefully a huge benefit to the environment. Apparently already seeing changes for the good, in water ways and air pollution. Be interesting to know if anyone is doing studies on all these things, esp things like how the higher atmosphere is changing with the reduction in aeroplanes up there.

    I think this will be the shortest thread on this forum for a long time.

    The depreciation of the New Zealand dollar should benefit the hard working New Zealand Farmers and Rural communities.
