Epitaph that reads, Here lie the poor souls from the covid pandemic. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten. Not too big but easily readable because no pollution in the air.
Sounds like a silver lining for sure.
This implies a trade, a choice. That is not what was suggested in the original post. I think the original post presented a reasonable question. Unfortunately I don't think any such reductions in consumption are will last and may be attended by over-consumption in other areas sort of like over-eating comfort food.
I myself have spent several hundred dollars stocking up on things I fear myself and my elderly parents might need.
