While the coronavirus has decimated communities, crippled businesses and caused many to stockpile food and items, it has caused massive environmental changes.
In addition to clearing up pollution in some of the world's most choked cities, it's doing wonders for wildlife.
Sea turtles are said to be thriving thanks to a lack of people flooding beaches and waterways during hot weather.

Loggerhead Marinelife Center senior manager of research Sarah Hirsch told WPEC leatherback turtles are expected to do really well this year.
She added: "We're excited to see our turtles thrive in this environment. Our world has changed, but these turtles have been doing this for millions of years and it's just reassuring and gives us hope that the world is still going on."
The lack of humans potentially damaging turtle nests is also leading to another benefit: less pollution.

Researchers have found the increase of people self-isolating has led to rubbish levels dropping.
David Godfrey, executive director of the Sea Turtle Conservancy, told CBS News: "All of the reduced human presence on the beach also means that there will be less garbage and other plastics entering the marine environment.
"Ingestion and entanglement in plastic and marine debris also are leading causes of injury to sea turtles."
At the start of the month, scientists in Brazil saw nearly 100 sea turtles hatch and slowly make their way to the ocean thanks to the beach being deserted.
Photographs, which were taken by government employees, have now been shared showing the moment the dozens of little creatures headed for the surf, safe from danger.

Speaking about the rare sighting, Herbert Andrade, Environmental Manager at Paulista, said: "In all, 291 sea turtles were born on the coast of Paulista in 2020, with 87 green turtles and 204 hawksbill turtles. This time, due to preventive measures against the new coronavirus, the population was unable to closely monitor the birth."
Hawksbills can grow to up to 45 inches in length and 68kg (150 pounds) in weight, and are classed as 'critically endangered' by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
Their existence is vital to 'marine ecosystems and helps maintain the health of coral reefs and sea grass bed', according to the WWF.
According to reports, residents in the region of Pernambuco, in the north-east of the country, have been banned from congregating on the beach due to the spread of Covid-19.
