The Economy around the world will be very bad in April to May 2020!!!

[nosferzd]

when Muslims do fasting in the month of Ramadan then automatically their immune system decreases, it is certain that those who fast will be more susceptible to disease, especially Covid-19.

Where did you get the idea that ramadan has a bad effect on the immune system? On the contrary, it helps strengthen immunity, due to a balanced diet without excessive salt and fatty foods. Therefore, the chance of getting COVID-19 is exactly the same as that of ordinary people. Yes, the crisis will intensify with the spread of the virus until a vaccine is found.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Well.. this can be controversial... but in my opinion, the COVID 19 situation will get contained by the end of April, or the latest by mid-May. Although the WHO has said that they are not sure whether warm weather can kill the Coronavirus, the evidence so far points to the same. Most of the countries that are effected, are in temperate regions. Very few of the tropical nations are impacted in a big way by this outbreak. So I am hopeful that the situation may improve once the temperature rises.

I think maybe you are saying that the Muslim would always meet in the mosque for there prayer which is a room for possible faster spread. This is true because gathering is a means for transmission but I hope vaccine is up then.
And is there a possibility for Muslim not to gather in mosque? Because some countries are preventing such huge gathering.

It is not going to improve till 2021 because  the Corona Virus pandemic is killing everything .
Funny story , even with the quarantine , some of my college mates one way or the other are always posting things about going outside besides quarantine , one should understand that if you get infected , even if you survive you always will be a source of infection for other people .
It's a disease that is very hard to control , no one knows how many people are infected , government is not even updating regular information about the people struck with this pandemic, and the vaccine is not going to arrive as soon as expected , it will for sure takes hell lot of time to calm down.

It may not be because of Ramadan per se but rather the on-going drought in different major markets around the world currently impacted by the pandemic. I do believe that the fear and panic is largely brought into the doorsteps of the uninformed, and this comes from a person who is not privileged in any way to live a comfortable life during these hard times, and in fact is in the front lines volunteering as a medical personnel. Then again, I do believe that fear-mongering is necessary in order to keep people inside their homes, else it could have gotten way worse than what we're having now.

As for Muslims observing Ramadan, I'm pretty sure they will be vigilant and be careful. While some will still religiously follow fasting without any regard to their health, most would certainly look after their health instead.

[XCANA]

Basically we have already entered into the worst case scenes and never think that, it will worst than this again because the vaccine for the coronavirus has been found which is chloroquine as confirmed by the United State of America. This has suppress the coronavirus cases by 30% because, many will now think positive about the said virus and not the other way round. The Muslim pilgrimage in my country had announced their participation on this year hajj and not canceled here but can't confirmed other countries.

[bdbountyon]

If the pandemic stays during ramadan then it will be hard for limited earning people to survive. Ramadan will start on 25 th April based on moon sighting. People are already concerned and are starting to store foods in the refrigerator which increases price hike on the market already faced in my country. Flights are cancelled and this scenario will persist for how long no one knows. It would be well advised to work at home and do shopping using digital assets specially on crypto.

[michellee]

I don't overthink about that. As long as I can take care of my health, I can consume healthy food, and I am sure that I will have enough immune that can prevent any virus. But if after doing that, I am getting sick, then I will do prevention by visiting the doctor and get help from them. I am sure that we don't have to be worry, and we need to act as usual, and we don't need to listen to the media if we don't know about the fact. It is about how you can manage your health by consuming the food, and you should not break the limit for your body because that will not be good for your health.

[Ozero]

Ah..... NO!!!! Fasting does not lower the immune system but it technically resets in a sense that new white blood cells to replace the old ones, so basically it is a way to regenerate and make your immune system stronger thus simply not make you vulnerable to any diseases. Also other than Muslims other people from around the world voluntarily fast from one meal a day, intermittent fasting, Low-carb fasting, and several other but I haven't seen any reports that specifically say that fasting has made them more vulnerable to the COVID-19. If you don't believe me here is an article from Forbes that talks about it. If you don't want to spread fear in the market just do some research first and get your facts straightened up so that you don't misinform them.

Not only Muslims, but also Christians fast for forty days before Easter. This year she will be April 19th. Unlike Muslim fasting, in Christianity you can drink water and eat lean food. Whether lean food lowers immunity is a moot point. However, since coronavirus mainly affects old people (in Italy, the average age of patients is 79 years old), it seems that if this category of people is difficult to fast, they should not observe it now.
In any case, the following months will be bad for us, since the economy of all states continues to fall and it will take some time to restore it.

The drop in immune system won't make much difference, the virus is already highly contagious and deadly. So maybe Ramadan will cause like 1-5% increase compared to no fasting - so what? If you want to make economic predictions, you need to get some numbers, not just make some seemingly logical reasoning.

The coronavirus is contagious,but it's not that deadly.There's no need to spread panic.
Eating and fasting has nothing to do with speading the coronavirus.
Social distancing will help for stopping the virus.I don't think that there are rules about NOT keeping social distance in Ramadan.With or without Ramadan and Easter,the global economy will crash in April-May 2020,everyone knows that.Ramadan and Easter aren't a cause for further spreading of the vrus.

[Sadlife]

It should be cancelled, if they dont want to get infected. They should follow the WHO guidelines to prevent the deadly disease from spreading because if they dont, even with all the faith and prayers wont save them. Better to wait it out until scientist came up with a vaccine and right now, it is being clinically tested.

Even churches closed doors to prevent further people getting infected.

[Ryutaro]

you just claimed false assumptions because you used your own thinking which was not based on facts, knowledge, nor simple logic! sry to say this.

First, the benefits of fasting for 30 days in Ramadan are mostly beneficient for body, soul, and mind. You can ask how can that be true when someone stopped eating and even drinking water for almost 12 hours a day for 30 days. I can't speak too much about this because it requires a long explanation and I am not an expert lol. Now, to prove my claims you can check this scientific article.

Now coming to the statement you made, first of all, covid-19, as I understood from physicians, is dangerous only for aged people and most young ones don't even need medication and many cured cases have been reported which did not even need hospitalization, by the time their body acquired immune towards the virus. Secondly, fasting is not allowed for sick people because there is a golden rule in Islam 'There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm'.

Muslims are fasting every year and we have not seen 'tremendous economic turmoil' as you said but this will definitely happen in the upcoming months not because Muslims are fasting but because all countries are economically badly affected by covid-19. When the virus crisis comes to end, every country will put all its focus into making a clear strategy on how to help institutions and companies from bankrupting which is already starting from this present time. Leading country's economies were highly affected, image the situation with third world countries, governments are asking their citizens to help with whatever they can.

[bitgolden]

Well, obviously what has happened already happened, from now on we are going to live what has happened consequences. Just to give an example this month was purely the world finances telling us that companies are shutting down and business' giving a break and basically economy stopping. What we are going to live now is what happens when companies shut down and bankrupt, that will be seen in April and May.

Inevidently we will see some downs, we will see prices of things go up because there will be less of them being produced and we will even see some products not even being manufactured anymore, those will cause inflation because when people need to pay more for something they will want more for working as well, when companies pay more they will charge more too, and it goes in a circle.

[Jating]

I think they are already prepared and I"m sure they are going to think about their health first.

There could be a call for the suspensions next month. And by the way, it's not only Muslim that will celebrate festivities in April, Easter is also coming, and Sikh festivals.

So I think this year will be very different because of the current COVID-19 pandemic.

[momchilandonov]

At least i hope that all this nightmare will end before summer

[traderethereum]

I am not sure about that, but I believe that although their immune system decreases, it will not make them getting susceptible. I am sure that every Muslim will prepare for the Ramadhan. They will still fast in Ramadhan because that is one of the commands from the GOD. I don't see an economic turmoil related to Ramadhan because Ramadhan is not coming in one year only, but it's always come in every year. So far, the economy is still running as we see, and I don't see it is related to Ramadhan.

[Arcas]

Economic faced bad situation on April to May 2020 after many countries get impact from corona virus, but if one month later corona virus can stop maybe many countries will back to normal and every thing will be fine, many countries will recovery their economic situation and bring positive to their people.

[sana54210]

It looks like it may not recover in May neither, it will be bad in April and may but it will be bad this summer too and it will probably bad until next winter for recovery. The peak horribleness will come this summer when many nations usually get a lot of travelers for vacation. Italy just to give an example usually gets millions of visitors to their nation during summer because for a holiday place Italy is a great nation (or I imagine at least) but this year they will not get any of them.

I personally checked a lot of hotel prices for example in my nation and it is usually lower than last years, normally it is not only staying same but going up, this year it went down in price, that's very rare and tells you all about it. So, I assume we will go worse and worse until next winter.

I disagree to this, because if you don't eat and drink water then your throat will be dry and it is more likely that the virus will easily stick inside your mouth. Also some people are eating a lot of fruits and take vitamins just to enhance their Vitamin C in their body so that their immune system will become stronger. So for me, fasting will make you harder to recover if you get infected by the virus because the white blood cells is not enough and weakened due hunger. Our immune system needs to be improve by taking Vitamins so that you can easily recover from the deadly virus. Not only Muslims do fasting but also a normal people, fasting is just good for a healthy bowel movement but not a practice against Covid-19.
