Unintended consequences I've noted of late

7. I've been fortunate to largely work from home since the 2008 crash, even as a contractor, but I

got a permanent job this time last year, ironically working for an American Pharma company here in Ireland, and it's been 99% from home. It takes a little time to get used to (by those living in your house as much as yourself), but it works out, AND, employers know you are even MORE accessible than ever, but everyone can win with it. You make a great point about providing access to those with disabilities, potentially levelling the playing field (a bit more anyway).

Microsoft Teams and Zoom in particular will do massively well out of this, and it will surely push the broadband companies to get their act together, to up their provision of faster broadband, as you said.

Taking an opportunity out of adversity, is probably the best way to look at it.
