More sanitary habits instilled in the general public going forward
Hopefully develop more respect for the elderly over this period and going forward
Greater sense of unity to fight the pandemic

Technological Advancement:

Light exercise every day
building up good habits/structure

I'm not in the medical field but tried to use reliable sources/reputable sites to source all of these. Please follow the health guidelines from the medical community as well as the federal/local community leaders. I'm optimistic things are getting better and we're gonna get through this if we work together!

Would love to hear your personal good news or any other good news youve seen on advancement during the covid19 situation.
