The unfortunate event that is Quarantine.

[DoubleEdgeEX]

Life is waht you make of it, and so is quarantine. I´m not even in one, but I started playing chess again. Anway, it´s a good tiem to start learning, e. g. there are plenty of free online courses on coding and developing on youtube. Educate yourself, use the time wisely!

This is not unfortunate if we can use quarantine time The best way to go online would be to gamble and trade We can earn some money by gambling and trading. This unfortunate time will be easily overcome Get rid of the financial crisis.

You have a point but remember that not everyone can work from home. Not all jobs require an internet or stay-home requirements to get things done. There are many great companies around the world that do not require internet in the production of their stuffs, example the soap companies, clothing companies, shoe companies etc. Lock down and quarantine becomes unfortunate for such companies and the world at large as production reduces or ceases totally.

First, sorry for the spelling mistakes.... 

Gambling? Well, no! If you want to lose money it´s up to you though. One investmenr rules is to never invest money you can´t afford to lose, so if you have enough and don´t know what to do with it, be my guest.

Production needs to go on, same goes for supply chain workers. Both don´t need the internet to run but are crucial to keep society alive. Many already found their way around by seperating product lines, or send their staff in reduced work time and applying for governmental support to keep them from closing. Btw, somehow funny news today that somehow passed the governmental message control: Austrian public agency for health and food safety announced today that in 2020, more people died of the common annual influenza than of Covid. Makes the lockdown even more pointless.

Schools have not resumed here, I don’t know for y’all. Have they resumed in other places around the world? Most kids here are learning online, but only kids that their parents can afford to pay for it. There are kids from poor family whose parents cannot afford to pay for this.

You are discussing something that has rarely been discussed by many people. The existence of a corona pandemic, in the long run, will result in deterioration in the quality of students and ultimately reduce the competitiveness of graduates. This decline in the quality of education is not only due to the ineffectiveness of online education but also the loss of the ability of parents to accommodate adequate educational facilities. In fact, this young generation is the productive generation whose contribution is expected to increase demand and drive supply after the pandemic ends.

Besides whether this is a kind of real simulation of world conditions in the future where humans scramble with robots to get work. The existence of a pandemic that causes an increase in unemployment may be equivalent to the concept of industrialization 4.0 where robots, algorithms, and AI dominate and the role of humans is shifted by the ability of IoT, especially repetitive actions that do not require problem solving cognitive interdependence.

I absolutely agree with you.We are enjoying  our time in quarantine or we are passing our time leisurely . But just think about those people who are day labourer. How are they passing their time?They don’t have any work as a result,their whole family can be in hunger.Its very sad that, if this continues than more people will die from hunger than corona virus.

And about studying in online is like a dream for poor people because they don’t have enough money to buy food,how they can afford their children to study online??On the other hand,In village,internet connection is very poor.There is no way, you can attend online class from rural village.

Sad but true mate,i have some friends that has no income in this season and they are only relying in government support that is not enough for daily living ,and now their company declares closure things that bothers Him so much.

Actually this is also the problem of our community because there are some families here that has no capacity letting their children to study online,but they will look for free government offers for study,Hopefully will come true.

Agree with this, a lot of companies decided to reduced their workforce to lessen the workers they have to pay, and to have a safe working environment for social distancing. A lot of those companies may choose to have robots, machineries, and etc. to fill in the gap of those workers in the future. Especially they have to chase the money they have lost during the lockdown. Those robots wont need to social distance with each other. They don't get sick with this virus. Kind of scary when thinking about the robots in the workplace, is it a threat or a good thing, i don't know it may be both. I just hope workers who are unemployed now will still find a work after this pandemic ends.

[finaleshot2016]

The quarantine has a lot of effects, especially on the people who don't have any savings and ready for this. People ended up working from home while the others are being removed from work 'cause companies aren't financially stable due to lockdown. The most unfortunate event for me is our government doesn't give importance to those people who really in need. They're prioritizing other bills that don't make sense during the pandemic and enhanced community quarantine was already lifted to good community quarantine which is some people are already allowed to go out now.

University of the PH here already predicted that we will have 40k confirmed cases in the 3rd week of June, and I hope it won't happen.

I made it a personal thing to contribute to charities during this period because I am lucky to be working at home right now and I do not have to risk my life to earn any money, or I wasn't fired and became unemployed neither, so it is only fair that I contribute to the world back and I did send some money to charities, I thought they must need it a lot right now with how much money they must be spending helping out people.

If we focus on what we could do instead of what we are doing, there are so many things we could do to help people out, it is really not that hard because there is enough wealth around the world to save everyone and give everyone a basic human life, yet some wealthy people unfortunately hoard all the wealth and leave the poor people to death and misery and starvation.

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.

I am also from the third work country and you are right. People now in my country is begging for food. Its like that they are aware of transmission of the virus but their stomach (and their family) is aching. They may not die in the virus but from hunger.

[Yatsan]

It is indeed. The implementation of the community quarantine that is said to be somehow the solution to prevent the spread of virus turns out to be a suffering situation most specially for the people lying on the low class of the society because they were the ones who are directly affected by this implementation because of the community quarantine, they temporarily to permanently loss their jobs since many business establishments as we as public transportation have been temporarily stop causing people to just stay at home doing nothing and earning nothing which leads shortage of food for the poor and of course money for them to spend for daily lives while the quarantine is still on.

It is not enough to say that during this quarantine they are getting assistance from the government s they won't be left behind. That was totally wrong. I have witnessed many people are already complaining that the assistance from the government is not enough to sustain their needs because funds set by the government are being equally distributed to TOO MANY people and what do you expect will happen? Of course it wouldn't be enough to last for days. This quarantine is a safe haven to let ourselves away from the spread of virus but a living hell because we are suffering from being jobless and there is nothing we could do about it as of the moment.

Same situation in here where a lot of people don't have enough money to buy their needs. People are suffering because of this pandemic and the government doesn't have plans for the poor, even they give "ayuda" or help us by giving money, it's not enough to survive. We should've banned the travel ban and maybe we won't go in this state.

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.

This is a complex problem. Good cooperation from various parties is needed to make this situation more conducive. The government makes effective policies, the public adheres to these policies and adheres to health protocols, helping each other according to ability, starting from themselves and their families. If there is no urgent need to stay at home, if you have to work outside the home then obey the health protocol as best you can.
For economic activities to recover and take place, most governments implement new normal, this will be truly effective only by the awareness of implementing protocol seriously.

[Heart18]

You are right. Here in my country, a lot of people are starving and got depressed because of job loss due to community quarantines.
It made me sad to realize that Covid-19 won't kill the people but severe hunger.
And the worst, the Government wasn't able to provide all the aid, because we only have limited resources and some are corrupt and being so politically centered management that they keep on arguing and blaming each other, instead of thinking some alternative ways on how to help the people in this country.😷😷😷

[verita1]

Your approach is true, in addition to the fact that the quarantines were not well planned, there are many people who are left without jobs, without income and without financial aid.
I ratify it from my own experience I have family members without jobs and the little financial aid is not enough to cover their daily needs.
I am helping some of them with bill payments and supplying some food.

I think now, many people are trying to adjust the conditions in this quarantine period to survive, especially for those who have quit their jobs. to be honest, I experienced the same thing. Until now, I am still trying to find a good and easy source of income to do in a situation like this, because of this lately I focus on the field of business that is on the internet.

You're not alone there, mate. In fact, some people don't want to lose their jobs but they have to be removed because some companies can't afford to pay them. This pandemic is really just challenging. So people will have to look for another source of income just to get by.

Until now, I am still trying to find a good and easy source of income to do in a situation like this, because of this lately I focus on the field of business that is on the internet.

There are many online jobs that you'll find. I hope you'll soon find a good one that suits you.

There are a lot of industry affected by the virus here too, public utility drivers here are begging money to passerbys cause they can't go to work, and if they don't work they have nothing. I just hope authorities will help them cause its their job to their taxpayers. We are already buried in debt and it will really take genearations to pay, and it frustrates me that with all the borrowed money for our children to pay, we still can't get a concrete plan from the government, we still don't even know where the borrowed money is going.

My country is third world in most parts so I can see all the bad stuff happening back home, not even now but even before the pandemic happened. This crisis will as usual hit the vulnerable and the poor even more. Can't believe I'm seeing stories about this being a leveler when clearly the rich and privileged will survive this all right.

We need to fix the structure of economy and education first to make sure we never get into this again.

[Assface16678]

There are a lot of people today who are having a good time because they are in the house only and having a lot of supplies and stocks so they don't need to get out and some of them already have an enjoyable time with Netflix and chill.

Still, there are some people who are having a struggle because of this pandemic some of them does not have enough money and funds just to survive this outbreak and some of them does not have enough job because some of them are businesses don't want to open those jobs because they don't want to spread the virus on them.

[Salauddin1994]

Although the government usually directs quarantine for the safety of the people, it has become very difficult for the helpless day labourers of society. They are living without food because there is no working system. In that case, quarantine is becoming unfortunate for the poor. Unemployment is rising due to layoffs. Therefore, it is necessary for the government to open everything. This will restart the business trade.

Totally agree! Governments must focus on their economies and prioritize the basic needs of their population, because I also live in an impoverished country, as you affirm before the pandemic, poor countries already suffered from many basic needs for human beings. Now, there are no jobs and people are hungry, not to mention if they have other health problems.
