Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I live in the country. Nobody walks dogs, they just run around outside.My dogs always get daily walks, I'm retired.

Others above probably already said this, but the animal shelters are nearly empty.
More people home and have time/energy to take care of a pet. I have to wonder what will happen with them (the pets) when this is all over.
I don't think so. We always get our pets from the shelter. It takes a while to settle in a new dog- especially an adult. We always like to get them when we'll all be around a lot. Which usually means summers or holidays when we're not on vacation.This is good ... so far. I'm afraid that once people start returning to regular activities that many of these folks will send the pets back to the shelters. I sure hope not.
Well, that's good news about the dogs getting adopted. Even if some of them get returned to the shelter later, the rest will have found homes.
I laughed at the line about "dogs are happy, cats are not."
As for the original question, I'm enjoying the fact that avoiding people is the socially responsible thing to do. It's refreshing to feel that indulging my introversion is doing the right thing.

Airlines are discussing not booking the middle seats once the economy begins to reopen and travel ramps up. That would make flying in coach much more comfortable. That could be a real big positive for post pandemic life.
If you have to travel—now through May 31, 2020—we are blocking off all middle seats on large aircraft and aisle seats on smaller aircraft.
• If you’re a family or large group who wants to sit together, feel free to make the request with reservations or at the airport.
• At the airport, if you’re uncomfortable with the distance between you and others, please speak with a customer service agent about your options.

This isn't a viable business model for the airlines unless we are covering a significant portion of their fixed costs in other ways.
Personally, I am not sure what the threshold will be before I am ready to venture into an airport and get on a commercial airliner again. I'll be honest and say there will be some anxiety involved for me on the first time back.
Optimism is the ability to see good in any situation, no matter how grim. Many of the posts have cheered me up. That's worth something. I think quarantine is working and worth some sacrifice. Isn't it valuable to make it easier to bear?Not keen on the title of the topic to start. Just sayin.
I live in the country, too. I walk my dog on a leash, the neighbors let their dogs run loose and poop in my yard. No dog poops in their own yard if given a choice.I live in the country. Nobody walks dogs, they just run around outside.

I see remote working becoming more prevalent. I suspect that management will see an increase in productivity from remote workers during this pandemic, and they will allow more of it going forward. Lots of positives to working from home if done effectively.
