Viral Humor and Before vs After pictures Due to the Coronavirus pandemic spreading through the world, many governments order people to stay home to prevent spread the disease. When people staying at home, the air pollution got much improved and showing the before and after lockdown drastic differences. Please compare Photo 5: The India Gate War Memorial, New Delhi, India The India Gate war memorial in New Delhi, India, is pictured on October 17, 2019 (above) and on April 8, 2020 after a 21-day nationwide lockdown (below). Reuters reports that New Delhi is having "the longest spell of clean air on record." Photo 6: Los Angeles, California Los Angeles, California is known for notorious smog and traffic. But the view on the bottom shows the San Gabriel Mountains on April 14, 2020. According to Business Insider, the improvement in air pollution is likely a result of fewer planes and cars on the roads. Photo 7: New Delhi, India The top photograph of New Delhi, India was on November 8, 2018 and the bottom one was taken on April 8, 2020. The staggering difference may be attributed to the world’s largest lockdown in the country of 1.3 billion people. All factories, markets, shops, and places of worship are now closed, most public transport suspended, and construction work halted as India asks its citizens to stay home and practice social distancing. Photo 8: Milan, Italy Milan was named Europe's most polluted city in 2008 and smog remains a recurring problem. But after the air pollution dropped significantly during the lockdown, the city announced an ambitious scheme to reduce car use after the quarantine ends. The bottom photograph of Milan was taken on April 17, 2020, while the top one was taken only four months ago. Photo 9: The Grand Canal, Venice, Italy The Grand Canal in Venice, Italy is seen here pictured on January 6, 2018 (top). But after the lockdown, new photos emerged of the canals looking crystal clear. The city's mayor told CNN that this was due to "less traffic on the canals, allowing the sediment to stay at the bottom." The bottom picture was taken on April 17, 2020. Photo 10: North Jakarta, Indonesia Jakarta is known as one of the smoggiest cities in the world. But the same wreckage of a wooden boat pictured on July 26, 2018 and April 16, 2020 shows a night-and-day difference.           Honesty is the best policy. |

Don't need to be worry. Those babies are safe 8 or 9 months later because the pandemic will disappear when Summer hot weather. Honesty is the best policy.

If people drive electric cars, the air pollution will be reduced drastically. We can have clean environment. Honesty is the best policy.

I think "Air Pollution" (smog) is better than pandemic spreading through the world. We have survived with air pollution for years since Industry revolution. Honesty is the best policy.

Less people driving means less demand for crude oil. When the demand is less means higher supplies, so crude oil plunged to the all time low. West Texas Intermediate futures for May delivery, which expire Tuesday, April 21, plunged more than 100% to -$37.63 a barrel. That means sellers have to pay someone to take the oil off their hands. Brent crude oil prices, which have already rolled over to June-delivery contracts, fell 8.9% to settle at $25.57 per barrel. Yes, you didn't hear wrong, it plunged to minus $37.63 below zero dollar. If you hold the contract you're going to have to take the delivery, But no one wants to do that and since that's the case we are seeing such a severe drop deep into negative territory. You buy crude oil without paying any money and the seller will give you $34.63 a barrel to take away. What!!!! It is weird, free oil plus free money to take away the crude oil. I have a stock that is related to crude oil price plunged also. I tried to buy at the lowest price but that stock only allow to sell, not to buy on Wednesday, April 22nd. Honesty is the best policy.

I live approximately 25 to 30 miles from Los Angeles city but very seldom to go there because the traffic congestion. During this pandemic period, government wanted citizens to stay home (quarantine), the traffic has tremendously reduced and the air pollution got much improved. This probably the ONLY good thing happened during this "social distancing" time. As you know, the economy, the businesses shutdown, people lost jobs, people died from this virus disease are the tremendous loss. We all want to get back to the normalcy. Honesty is the best policy.
