The unfortunate event that is Quarantine.

[kolbalish]

Yes it is an unfortunate event for the world. The world is now affected by it and no vaccine till now. We all can hope and pray so that our creator can help us to recover from it within a short period. The whole economy is getting down day by day.

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.

This quarantine is only good for our health but not for our economy, it is really hard to face the truth that this Covid-19 is existing and killing a lot of people.

Life is so unfair. Most of the type of person who are really affected by this pandemic are those poor people who have nothing but relying on their job just to have food for their family. Those rich people are getting treated like a VIP in many establishments especially in the hospital. Here in our country, if you are rich, you have power and that should not be the mindset of the people here. The government here is irresponsible and they don't use the budget in a proper way that's why we are really suffering. We need to choose a responsible and accountable government soon.

This is really unfortunate event in our life, we lose so much in just a couple of months,

However, we can also see that after this quarantine, even with implementing the health protocol, the numbers of infected people still do increase. It is just a matter of choosing between getting quarantine but with limited foods or getting outside to work but the chances of getting infected not only you but also your family are really high.

We can’t move all jobs remotely. There are people who work as cleaners, they can’t work remotely, because they can’t clean the office from their home. So not all jobs can be done online, that’s why we all need this situation to stop. People should just wear their masks and go back to their works. Companies/offices should have everything that’s required to keep their employees safe at this time in their office, by providing necessary information, and telling employees to maintain distance at work, and wash hands, and wear gloves and all that.

So, I must agree with you that it is really unfortunate times for all of us because of covid19 and it's quarantine periods. But, most countries started relaxing lockdown restrictions which helps people to get back into their normal life including getting back to job so that they could feed themselves. Some countries are announcing about public use of vaccine by the beginning of August month. When that will be happening in real life, I hope everything will get settled down.

If you have good savings or you have an earning business, it's not wise to go outside as you have a choice to stay at home and be safe. However, for most people, majority of them are just relying on their salary, so they need to work to eat, and with that, they have no choice but to take the risk.

Yes, the no work no pay scheme individuals having hard time in this pandemic. It is not easy to survive day by day just to make a way to get food especially to those bread winners. I think going through online selling business is the best way to earn now and this is what others mostly done in order to survive. The virus is really a problem for now due to no cure that has been discovered. Hope that really soon cure will be discover and available to all. This pandemic is a real struggle to many. The virus started in China so I do hope that China will going to pay this pandemic because they were not able to contan it in their area instead they let it spread all around the world.

I am not sure how long we can be locked in because this is never going to stop unless a vaccine is made or a hypothetical situation where everyone has been tested and treated these are the only two ways of stopping corona virus and while vaccine are being worked upon there is still no proper word on it worldwide. You cannot lock people down for undefined number of days when you don't have a solution. I think if they allow people to work and move but only if they make it compulsory for all the offices/workers to be sanitized after every couple of hours that would be the ideal solution.

I am still not sure what locking down people is achieving because this is like a very temporary and high-cost idea and the longer you implement this the deeper the economy will go into the hole.

Safety versus economy that is what our government is dealing we are buying time to slowdown the effect of this contagion as long as our leaders will not find a possible vaccine we connot avoid quarintine and it is so sad that people are losing thier jobs and governments has exhaust thier fund to help people who is in need in order to survive in this pandemic we will just hope and pray that this would end soon.

We do pray that this ends quickly, and we have vaccine in place. It has affected all the countries and economy has really hit badly. Many small-scale businesses are impacted and due to which they either are shutting their shop as cannot pay the rent etc and this all will create a huge unemployment in coming time. Poor people are anyways finding it toughest to survive in such conditions as they do not have food to eat and no work due to lockdown.

What more for those who are jobless and homeless? They are more struggling than anyone else. And I think in this situation, the government needs to step up and do its job. This COVID really shows the difference between the upper and lower classes. Rich people can easily say that we should stay at home but for those who are less fortunate, they can't stay at home because they need to think about tomorrow.

However, quarantine may not be the solution but it's the best we can do right now while there is still no solution yet. Yes, everyone is struggling but if we just cooperate and follow the protocols given by the authorities, we can prevent getting affected. This virus has affected a lot of people, and even the economy. What I think is that the government's way of handling the pandemic is really important. We can look at other countries, they can handle the virus very well while others are struggling. Sadly, our country is not that good at handling the cases. And now, we also have another problem we are facing. We are being affected by a typhoon and it's harder for those poor people. Let's just hope that this pandemic will end already and that we can rise again.

You know those homeless people are very heartbreaking to see their situation at the middle of this pandemic. They lives are more worst than others that stay at home. Hoping that government will look for this people and help them to provide their necessities this time that the virus keep on spreading. Quarantine is good for those with home and not for the homeless.

Yes if people have money and they still feel like they should go out then I feel those people are the real virus because I mean you have the money to survive and calm down the pandemic but you want to go out for your fun, which is just horrible.

I think for the poor section various policies are being worked upon like I heard that the US has signed a bill to give every citizen 2000 USD every month and if that is implemented in real that would be great news and every country needs to re-visit this strategy although maybe they can lower the sum given since not every country can afford that much.

[lixer]

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.

Yes for people who are rich they are loving quarantine because they have enough in their banks and cash to live years without any problem and they can sip juice and watch movies all day without dropping a sweat.

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.

Yes, the middle-class and lower middle-class are hit the hardest by this situation because these are those people who have to migrate out for work and they only earn as long as they work and usually they do not have their own house and absolutely no savings so they are in a pickle and don't know how to respond and that is where the local governments need to feed their people and lift the lower economic classes.

I agree that quarantine is not the best solution to fight COVID-19, that quarantine only makes the economy worse and makes
many people starve. Because quarantine makes many people lose their jobs and income, so people will not die by COVID-19.
But will die of hunger. In my opinion stop quarantine immediately and let people activity normally, but by changing life becomes
cleaner and obeys the rules of health protocols with discipline. Then the economy can recover and COVID-19 can be prevented
from spreading.

You know, I partially don't believe in this pandemic, but your idea is terrible. Let's say this pandemic is a very life threatening disease, do you think sacrificing the people's health helps improve/maintain the economy? Have you heard someone died in hunger because of the quarantine/lockdown?
Not everyone obeys the health protocol and the government won't risk a single careless act that could cause a widespread of disease locally.

We can’t move all jobs remotely. There are people who work as cleaners, they can’t work remotely, because they can’t clean the office from their home.

Yes, companies are being able to move jobs online and let people work remotely, but how many have lost their jobs compared to those that are working remotely now? If you check there is a huge difference. And have you checked the type of jobs that can be done online? It’s mostly software engineering jobs that you will be finding online these days, majority of others can’t be moved online, you can’t be driving truck online right ? Lol. Lots of sectors such transportation, restaurants were closed during quarantine.

I guess we need to bear what ever inconveniences we are facing right now because everything may find an end when the vaccine for convid19 will be developed. I am feeling too hard to stay within home due to unnecessary stress and less job opportunities to earn with. Hopefully everything will get restored in near future.

some people are aware that quarantine can break the chain of the spread of the virus, but everyone's economy is certainly different, because most small people who stay at home will certainly not produce anything and they will not be able to buy the necessities of life if they cannot do any activities that are can make money. on the other hand, there are people who are very fortunate in quarantine, those who have enough money and have enough needs to survive is the most beautiful moment and a paradise for them because they can spend a lot of time with family

[raidarksword]

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 also agree that online businesses are in trend because of the quarantine wherein people only uses internet and apps to buy food or purchase items that needed without going outside their houses.  It's the positive side aspects of the quarantine and cashless transactions are given the chances to use by most certain of people as its best capabilities despite the threat of the corona virus. Let's hope that this quarantine will not take long so that we can now go back to our normal daily lives as we know.

I think your opinion is not entirely correct. It all depends on one's motives and goals when leaving the house. In the current conditions, we must have an awareness that what we do or spend may be a continuation of the survival of others. Our activities outside the home can mean food for others. Our responsibility is to ensure that all parties follow pandemic protocols and procedures. I suggest those who have the disposable income to spend their money to strengthen the community economy.

My wife has a post-budget to buy food, detergent softener, and other household needs not from the store she usually shopped anymore, but she bought from her friends who eventually was forced to sell household goods because of the emergence of this pandemic, with the consideration that it will not be fun if we survive alone and our friends suffer. Following the Covid-19 protocol in all lines both individuals, communities, companies, and countries is indeed costly, but now it is the only way to suppress the spread of the pandemic and to bridge economic recovery.

Online businesses are becoming a trend because a lot of people temporarily lost their jobs during the pandemic that they do need to find a way to buy the everyday needs of their family by selling foods and items through online. Since online businesses have increased their numbers, some government in other countries have mandated them to pay taxes as funds to support the needs of their hospitals and establishments.

I think both of you are correct tho, I think the right word is limit your activities outside just for the essential things you need. Don't go out if it wasn't for survival. Its true that some have no choice but to go to work even if its risky. That is essential. But both need to follow the protocol for their safety. The government should also provide for those workers too.

I also agree with your wife helping your friends who are working to survive. I do it too, I prefer buying to those people who already need it cause I understand how it feels. Same with my online shopping too, I prefer locally made ones so I can help with the economy of my country as well. So its a wise choice even as a consumer.
