Has anyone thought about starting a business as a result of everything going on? What would be some good / creative business ideas with the current situation?

Seriously, in the worse case scenario, meaning the pandemic won’t relent after say, 36 months, with potentially 25% rate of unemployment, the biggest opportunities are going to be people-centered. Health and wellness, support, virtual outreach, education. The goal is to stave-off the potential unrest that could be on the horizon if we do not shift our focus from personal success to community success. We have to start caring. Political arguments aside, we have to begin to heal. The entire globe is in for massive changes. We are in the midst of massive change. People don’t like too much change so personal coaching will be a vital resource. Keeping people calm will be paramount. We are in for a ride. We’re going to have to get very creative.

Figure out a way to easily see if someone has a fever without having to take your temperature at every place of business. Maybe create a thermometer that sits against your teeth like a retainer. Have it light your smart watch red/green if you’re running a fever. Food for thought - seems like a problem that may need to be solved.

I don’t know if this is a business opportunity, but I think people are getting more interested in growing their own food. Is there an affordable, not highly resource-intensive way for the average person to do that, even in a small apartment?
