The unfortunate event that is Quarantine.

[raidarksword]

All are affected from all walks of life in the amidst of covid-19 pandemic and government are trying their efforts to solve this drastic pandemic we are experiencing right now. Quarantine is must to ensure covid-19 will not become worst and should be implemented at all cost despite the negativity effects to people relying to their jobs in order to feed their families even though it's hard but for the sake of safety and to preserve life to each individuals it should be mandated to comply.

South Korea and few other countries like Turkey managed to overcome COVID19 without the need to lockdown or shut down the economy entirely. Rapid testing is the only solution for a pandemic rather than making people go jobless and the ones who are homeless remain without food and shelter. Cases in some places are increasing despite there being a strict lockdown as they get infected by a person who has been in the hospital or who works in essential services. Not all Governments are able to help those jobless or give them enough money as per their standard of living.

True quarantine is not the best solution to deal with prolonged corona virus. Short-term quarantine is good to do, but in the long run quarantine
should not be done. This can make people suffer more, because most people can't work and earn a living. Whereas the need for food and drink
must be fulfilled, and several bills must get paid. In my opinion, this corona virus will not disappear, so we have to coexist with the corona virus
until the vaccine is found. So do it activities as usual, but the virus prevention health protocol is still being carried out.

Rapid test kits shows inaccurate results so many countries are not using them for testing purpose.Even if few countries managed to contain the spread still they ill get impact economically because the import and export will not become as before which is the one of the primary sources of income to any country.

Even though some countries have done a lockdown, but the epidemic has not been able to overcome, but the outbreak has been spread so that the lockdown was late to do so it is difficult to overcome the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Many rapid test kits have been carried out in various countries but many positive results may have long been settled in their area so that this sermon is even more widespread.

Countries started to implement lockdown only from end of Feb or March but the trace of corona virus has been found in Nov 2019 but China tried to hide this from the world caused so much of spread even before everyone knows it.

I don't think we should pity these people, I am sick of it. We all just say it like this and just do nothing while others don't really talk about it but just directly help them the way they can. This pandemic is inevitable, instead of pitying them, push them to do other ways to earn. You are not just helping them to earn money but also the country as a whole.

You might not pity them but I do, and I am a person who has made more money during this lockdown period than I have ever made, and even with that in mind I still think that there is some ways we could help people who could not make money during this situation. Think about it, there is really no way to make money for some business', they are all closed, think of airline industry for example, there is tons of economical help for the companies but when it comes to people who are working as baggage handlers who are probably at the lower end scale of that business, there is no help for them.

If we are helping the industry giants, we should be helping the small people who are barely living without pandemic as well, with pandemic they are basically just trying to stay alive.

And that is what I am saying. We should not just help because we pity them, we help because they need it. Pity won't cut it, it is just a half-assed way of helping. It is just like giving grass to a horse because it is a horse. And there are people who take advantage of this "pity" and make it as a way to become popular, to become a center of attraction, to earn money, don't you think that is unfortunate? especially for those people that don't actually need pity but help.

That is why the government needs to step in.

We shouldn't rely too much on the government that we end up doing nothing for ourselves, we need to find ways to make sure that we can put food on the table, the government focuses on utilitarian policies and that is the reason that they are having a hard time to decide what to do to prevent tipping the scale that will lead to chaos. We people should learn to fend for ourselves at the time of crisis. This is the most overlooked problem by the masses because they are theone causing it and you know what they say, people are blind for their causes.

And what would people do when they can't go out like this?

I do know that we should not always rely on it, I just said that the government needs to step up. Despite that, what can people do these days? They can't even go to work? What do you want them to do? Invest? Not all of the people in quarantine can do that. Start a business? Really? People don't have a choice but to either rely on themselves or rely on the people that give help. If you will always rely on yourself, you can be lost, you don't always need to rely on yourself because that would tire in the long run and would end up in a bad position.

To some people who leave their homes for work, the quarantine and lockdown is an unfortunate event. To others who are into online businesses like ecommerce, dropshipping, shopify, crypto etc, it is a fortunate event. Personally, lockdown has helped me to maximize my shopify skills and other online businesses. Now, lots of attention has shifted to these niche because of the quarantine.

I feel that, and you are correct, I am glad that my job is online and I can still earn despite of this pandemic.
However for people within the family, most of them are still going to work for their job, otherwise, they will not survive to buy the basic needs, they just need to be extra careful not to get infected with covid as it will certainly make our entire family get infected as well.

Personally, lockdown has helped me to maximize my shopify skills and other online businesses. Now, lots of attention has shifted to these niche because of the quarantine.

I am not into shopify, but I find the dropshipping business attractive just recently.
maybe I will give time to study more about it, and hopefully I can use my free time to be productive by educating myself about it.

Yup, it doesn't really mean that we should rely to them all the time, but we can't also deny that they have the power to make things easy this times. Just like what @Janation said, there are people who are not in the position to fend for themselves, they need help and whose job is it to protect and help the people? They are in their position to provide for the people. The thing about "we should provide for our self" thinking is that it isn't applicable to everyone, I can say it too honestly, but I chose to speak for other people who can't say it. I can't say to those people that they should provide for themselves when they can't just really do anything to fend for themselves. Its always good to provide for our self and there's nothing wrong in relying to the government too because they can provide policies, laws, programs, etc. that will help struggling people in a certain country.

[coinfinger]

OP is a bit confusing, you say that the quarantine wasn't done right, and the next thing you're saying that they should stay home. Seriously, what do you stand for? Or are you trying to say that the government is not supporting or what exactly? The action they took is what they are meant to do, they shouldn't let people to continue walking the street and keep spreading the virus, that would be really dangerous and should be avoided, sadly they didn't avoid it early.

So, the best thing they can do is this quarantine. What worries me most is that despite the lockdown and everything, the virus keeps on spreading. Most countries are thinking about fully relaxing the curfew restrictions so that people start working to get food and everything. Underdeveloped countries do not have any other options except lifting out the lockdown restrictions.

[roberthays]

It seems to be improving in some areas so let's hope this nightmare all ends soon for the better. Best to stay optimistic.

Some governments are so greedy these times. I heard that some provinces in our country are extending their ECQ so that they will receive money from the government. It is said that places under ECQ receive money from the government, hence extending ECQ means receiving more money. I am not saying that all of them are like that but there are some. Instead of lifting the quarantine slowly to help their people work, they are making it a lot worst.

Rapid tests do show inaccurate results and even now tests are showing false positives and negatives but it does help to contain the spread more than lockdown. This is because during lockdown, people start panicking and come out in crowds to buy essentials. It should have been done in Jan while many countries got alert only in March.

Same thing is also in my area when the lockdown is enforced, the government will provide assistance with a trial period of 3 months and I think that assistance is not enough in my opinion especially those who are married and children are not allowed to work outside if it has been terminated by the company, now here many people are increasingly worried because they cannot go out to look for work while the government rules have been applied before so in my opinion it is difficult for the community and it seems like there is no good from the government for the people.

If the experts will not find a fully working vaccine provably we will struggle since day by  day the number of infected is increasing and the lockdowns will prolong for sure many are suffering from hunger right now, but what I found in my country is the online transactions/selling is increasing and many people shift to sell goods to earn money despite on lockdown by the help of motorcycle services in apps or in kind, maybe your fellow countrymen should look after this since if everyone will be innovative for sure they will pass the quarantine with food in mouth.

[aakay]

100% true. I know quite a number of people that have lost their jobs in my area due to the fact that their employers are trying to cut cost and the buisness is not that up and doing to move activities online. I just hope all this ends soonest so we can all go back to our normal lives

There are lots or various online business that you can really try out on this quarantine period not just only watching yourself to go hungry as your supply keeps depleting every single day or just basically depending on your governments aide or support then it would really be worth if you do try out this businesses as well.If other can do it then you can do it of course.

Online selling had become the norm now since people cant go outside and people do need essentials which are on demand now which means if you do cater out such service then that would really generate up some income.

I know this thing wont fit out for every people but theres no hard for us to try because if we wont then its really hard to sustain in case this
lockdown or ecq would go further.

Lockdown and quarantine has caused financial crisis to most people especially in Africa where most of the people fall within lower and middle income. These people survive on their daily earnings hence once they skip that daily business means no food on the table. Governments have to supply some of these people with food. Example is what is happening in Ghana.
