The unfortunate event that is Quarantine.

[onrise]

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.

Across the world due to lockdown the economic activity has taken hit and due to which many industries have started to remove the workforce to an extent. This is causing a huge problem to worker as they do not have any job now. Also, daily wage earner could not even get the food to eat due to financial constraint.

Apparently due to Quarantine , people are getting jobless ,but then again pause for a minute.
Some well established institutions are able to provide the financial support and they are shifting the jobs online . One should understand that, this is something that only some well off members of the society are enjoying. Unfortunately the people with small jobs are now deemed insignificant and they are sitting at home and hoping for it to end soon ..
This is making the economic gap between the two sections only wider .
Quarantine was not done properly , it is not the solution. People will soon starve and won't be able to pay of bills . With the loans from colleges and schools , kids will be deprived of a good future.
Soon enough if the Quarantine does not end , Corona virus won't kill us , but the economic situation will . Therefore I urge all of you to stay home and practice good hygiene. So that we are able to control the breaking economic crisis which is bigger than the Corona virus.
What are your thoughts ? Please feel free to share.

I agree. The quarantine is the unfortunate event that have ever happen because of the quarantine people are tend to stay home because of the implementing lockdown being implemented by the government to prevent the spread of the virus. Even though it is the unfortunate thing that have ever happen, the quarantine is some how the small step being done by the government to prevent the people from being exposed into the field where the virus might easily spread evenly that would affect a larger number of individuals.

Quarantine is not really a good solution at all but at least by doing such, we can lessen and slow down the rate of spread of the virus to say that we are now in control of the number of cases and death poll being stated on a daily basis worldwide.

Quarantine is not the solution because vaccine or medication is the real cure to end this pandemic. It is hard to admit that small time people are being jobless but the government is not letting them to be alone just like in our country that supports the needs of the people being affected due to the lockdown together with the private sectors and donations from groups of people, starving people are being fed because admit it or not, even quarantine is not a great solution, it is the only way we can have as for now but we can surpass this if we will work on hand on hand supporting each other to survive this challenge until this crisis ends.

This is a global pandemic, there is no way that anyone wouldn't be affected by this. Even if you had zero infected in your nation (which I doubt there is any) you would still be affected because other nations are affected and that affects you.

At the end of the day 2008 was something closer in the sense that it was mortgage crisis in wall street that almost killed Greece and Spain and Italy, but there were so many that wasn't affected, this one is affecting the whole world and that is not something we could just throw out of notion that easily. World is affected and world needs to regroup together as well, no nation should try to do it all by themselves, the ones that can would still take longer without help, and the ones who can't will be under big pressure and debt and would really hurt.

Personally, I hold on, because. even from the forum, I get a sufficient amount for life, including payment of housing, groceries. People who have lost their jobs must go to labor exchanges to be paid unemployment benefits if they cannot find work right now.

Corona virus can kill humans, but quarantine can kill everything. Because quarantine makes many people lose their jobs, so people find it
difficult to buy daily necessities. The effect is many people are starving, so should not quarantine done too long. So that the economy can
run again, so everyone can make money.

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.

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 if its inaccurate, some country have to do it as well in order to contain the virus and they really have to do everything to save their people and of course the economy. Import and export looks the same to me especially those essential goods, some country may stop exporting for now but if the virus is done, it will be back to normal. The lockdown gives different perspective and effects on every country, we will survive on this and will live to a new and better life.

Inaccurate results can be quite dangerous than we thing because we may never test that user again if he is positive but test gives negative to him if he is asymptomatic so he will a reason for a thousand or more people to get affected to this.Now more countries relaxing their lockdown norms to bring back economic activities even if there is no control over the spread.Now we are on our own to fight with the virus.

A lot of companies are now closing and many jobs have become irrelevant because of the pandemic, some of these jobs are the transportation sectors like Bus drivers and restaurant here in our country, our government have no choice but to life certain restriction on some sectors to open the economy, it's risky but they have to take the risk and see how things goes.

[Nathanz]

That is why people who are rich stays rich and people who are poor becomes poorer. That's the principle that I can see in this times of pandemic. Rich people wouldn't really suffer from this Pandemic as most of them are businessmen who has a lot of assets and business that still runs even if there is a quarantine while people who are jobless, people who had lost their job becomes poorer and poorer as the time goes by. It will be hard for the majority.

[PavelMed]

I feel sorry for people who have lost their jobs due to quarantine. I am sorry for those people whom the state does not provide assistance. I would very much like the inhabitants of such countries to think about why they need a state. Why the countries of Europe and the USA were able to find funds for help, but in Africa they are not.

This is making the economic gap between the two sections only wider .

It was inevitable, the pandemic took everyone by surprise and everyone is trying to do their best, it is true that those that are the poorest have been the most affected but it is not like the rest of society has been unaffected as well, whenever I need to buy something I take a look around the nearby businesses and there is a significant number of them that have moved out or that have declared bankruptcy and it is obvious the owners of such business are also suffering greatly because of this pandemic.

[hahay]

The economic disparity is indeed very visible and even the distribution of aid is still uneven or maybe some individuals who carry out illegal activities such as aid funds are corrupted because in situations such as where the economy is difficult it will make people do everything they can to get money or any needs to be consumed. The only way to end the spread of this virus is to remain consistent at home because even the vaccine for this virus still needs time to be released.

[Vannie12]

Apparently, we some how know how things work, in different views, class, and experiences.

I think the pandemic still is an unfortunate event.
Poor people, they need help even if the pandemic did not exist. No jobs, living in the streets and now even if we know how their bodies adopt all the pollutions, illnesses around them, they could be still the most vulnerable persons we know. No food, clothes, and hygiene.

If we relate this to people who have no jobs due to pandemic, they would want to resume as much as possible.

Some rich people, take advantage of the situation. Not needing much but thinks they need more.

Those who are paid during pandemic, enjoys the vacation.

I don't know about you guys but some people truly desrves the help they need. I just hope people are not that greedy and think about other people too.

On the one hand, a pandemic has caused enormous damage to the economy, but on the other hand, a pandemic has greatly benefited nature. Because of isolation, people stopped littering, lighting a fire in nature, and so on. In short, the pandemic allowed nature to recover.

[Takijyz]

How about the third-world country??? I mean, the 1st world is having a ahard time these days. The anxiety will be present and many people will be suffering from it. Its a good thing that somehow our government is still providing sme basic needs but the question is " how long they can sustain it?". Hoping that this pandemic will end anytime soon, so people will be back to their normal life. By the way, somehow i like the result of this pandemic to.our mother earth.

[DevilSlayer]

The community quarantine is the reason why some of economies are dying because most of businesses are closed where small, medium and even big enterprises are affected. The saddest part is many people losses their job and most of them are having a hard time on where they will get money and food for them to survive in this crisis, especially those poorest of the poor who have nothing and they are only relying to the relief goods that they can get from the governments.

It is really hard to see that there are many people who are suffering because of the crisis but we should not let lose our hope because we can get back in our normal life like before if there will be now a vaccine thay will available in the market. For sure once the vaccine is invented, the economies all over the world will bounce back.

I know its not about economy, but I want to clear things out.
It didn't help nature that much, chances are our bad impact is the same if not bigger.
It may seem things are better because a) water is clearer b) air looks and smells clearer.
But its only because people has stopped pumping the dust in the air/water and thats it.
We still continue to pollute the earth in many ways and couple months of not even a break but a pause won't give the effect everyone is talking about.

the risk if it must be faced by the country in dealing with a pandemic is like that, we must accept it,
not only in Africa that experienced it, all countries experienced it, I also experienced it, the economy was difficult and only the cryptocurrency that I had

   Takijyz you are right, I agree with everything you said! It's right that third world countries are facing with
more problems, it's lack of money and everything else is connected with that. Mother earth recovered a bit
in last few months, that is a positive side of all this, let's hope that people will start thinking more about it
in future, we need to pay attention on mother earth and how to save her from all garbage around.
   Quarantine was an unfortunate event, and while for some it was hard time, for some it was easier, some had
luck! I hope too that we will go back to normal soon!

The whole world's economic situation is getting vulnerable now. But we have to stay in this outbreak also. Have some patience. God has better plan for us.

Quarantine is a boring thing for everyone but we have to do it because of this virus. Many people are getting jobless and passing the time at home by doing nothing. But we don't have anything to control so we must stay at home.
