Coronavirus the ultimate empirical research for Mother Nature?

Many of us are in uncertain times. How long will this take? Will I or my loved ones get infected (or maybe that has already happened)? What will soon become the new normal?

One thing is certain. Due to the corona virus, we are in the middle of empirical research in which we will see what the effect of the current corona situation is on Mother Nature.

Empirical research is ideally suited to make solid assumptions about important issues.

Hypothesis issues related to, for example:

• Effect decrease Co2 consumption
• Effect of decrease in energy consumption
• Effect of decrease in trade between countries

Let's hope that we will gain good insights and that with these results we can feed the thoughts of how we can make economic progress in combination with a better world with the right facts.

What else would be interesting to investigate empirically during this corona period?
