CBS correspondent Vladimir Duthiers urged viewers to "try to see the positive aspects of the coronavirus pandemic. Only a few thousand have died. I'm not trying to sugarcoat that. At the same time, though, shutting down businesses and quarantining people in their homes has had beneficial impacts on the environment. Here in Italy, traffic is light. The air is clean. I think this shows what the whole world could be like if the trucking and bartering of the marketplace were to be replaced with a command economy."
Duthiers observed that "fear of the virus has made the population docile and obedient in a way that could not be as easily achieved under normal circumstances. Individuals who would have otherwise resisted the type regimentation that has been accomplished over the last couple of weeks are actually cheering the government on and calling for nonconformists to be punished. It's a miraculous breakthrough that provides a clear road map on to how to implement the progressive transformation of human society."
