Another thing we get from a statistics class is that it completely ruins any enjoyment of buying a lottery ticket if we didn't come by that sense naturally.

The one thing that sits in the back of my mind about COVID-19 is that, as has already been stated in this thread, despite the scores being steady or decreasing in some areas, it is still out there and isn't going away any time soon, nor will a vaccine be available any time soon. So...when people start venturing out again - then what? I can't imagine staying cooped up forever for any number of reasons.
