Did COVID-19 Bring Any Positive Sign?

[azmirihaque]

The whole world is now passing a crisis moment. COVID-19 has broken down the economy. It has taken many valuable lives and made the world’s medical treatment helpless. The question is,  Did COVID-19 bring any positive sign? I want to describe some points which are being possible by dint of this Culprit Corona.

    • Environmental Improvement:
The environment is passing the happiest moment now. The level of sound pollution has decreased tremedously. The amount of led and carbon-di-oxyde in the air are decreasing in the tolerable stage. The ozone layer is repairing its scratches. The environmental eco-system is being tighten.   

    • Tightening Family Bindings:
People were busy in their job or business. Very few times was possible to spend with family. Now maximum people are staying at home and passing most of their time with family members. As a result ties of the family bindings are being stronger.

    • Enhancing Online Business and Marketing
We know world COVID-19 has stopped the activities of industries, firms and businesses. People are now being motivated to involve in online business and online marketing which is beyond the affect of any culprits. Online job and marketing has increase tremendously than before

    • Creating Digital Employment
Corona Virus enhances the area and opportunity of digital employment. People are now engaging in different online jobs. Many self employed activities have also been created that help to increase the digital employment.   

    • Expanding the Knowledge and Use of Technology
As people are now passing idle time, many of them who didn’t involve in technological attachment are trying to familiar with digital world for online shopping, online business, online news, social contact etc. They are using computer, internet, web browsing and other technologies. In this case, I say, corona is expanding the knowledge and use of technology. 

    • Expanding the Crypto World
To use the present lazy time, Many people are seeking different online platforms to invest their fund. Many of them has already invested in cryptocurrency. Many governments of the world are thinking for advancement of digital currency where cryptocurrency has a priority in the line. So, Corona is helping to expand the crypto world.

I expect to add your valuable opinion.

Those advantages can only be felt by people who aren't really struggling with the 'what will they eat tomorrow' problem.

Are we passed the peak already? Damnn, some of the important people in my country are talking about the inevitable economic collapse in the near future.

Although the situation doesn't feel too gripping anymore and everyone has begun to adapt, it cannot hide the truth that we don't even know when this pandemic will end especially in my country.

I still have some fiat savings and hold some BTC. I hope that holding Bitcoin will save me later if my country fiat currency is weakening later.

[Coyster]

Life is alot more difficult for many people in almost every country in the world for us to count the positives or advantages; if the situation was different: The presence of the virus, very few fatalities, everyone indoors with enough to eat, jobs reserved for workers till after the pandemic etc, then this advantages will not sound 'sour in the ears', or seem too much of a pyhrric advantage.

But with just how many people have lost their lives all over the world, there is no way we can count positives from this, even if there is, they are outweighed by the deaths, hunger, fallen economy and suffering brought by this pandemic.

Another possible addition to the list will be the higher use of online resource for both business and education particularly in developing countries where they were seldom used. More children are being integrated to online learning platforms which has the added advantage of cutting across geographical barriers

[LeGaulois]

To use the present lazy time, Many people are seeking different online platforms to invest their fund. Many of them has already invested in cryptocurrency.

Source? Or it didn't happen.
Thousands of people are losing their job, some didn't finish paying the house, can't pay the landlord, have children, don't have enough food, etc and you really think they're going to invest in something risky as cryptocurrencies are? They have no money!

Many governments of the world are thinking for advancement of digital currency where cryptocurrency has a priority in the line. So, Corona is helping to expand the crypto world.

Source again or it didn't happen.
There are differences between cryptocurrencies and CBDCs (Central bank Digital Currencies). No government is making Bitcoin a "priority line" (expect to tax people), the fact is they 'study' CBDCs but they're still in the R&D phase, and secondly, it's not something new, it started like 3 years ago. COVID19 doesn't make the process faster

Corona Virus enhances the area and opportunity of digital employment. People are now engaging in different online jobs. Many self employed activities have also been created that help to increase the digital employment

False, it's the opposite. The activity has highly reduced and sometimes stopped at 0 for some industries. Self-employed is the first to see the result, since he is at the end of the chain...

We know world COVID-19 has stopped the activities of industries, firms and businesses. People are now being motivated to involve in online business and online marketing which is beyond the affect of any culprits. Online job and marketing has increase tremendously than before

Source? You think my hairdresser can suddenly say, " I'm now a marketer (whisper: I don't know anything)"
People spam the web and thing they're a marketer

Tightening Family Bindings:
People were busy in their job or business. Very few times was possible to spend with family. Now maximum people are staying at home and passing most of their time with family members. As a result ties of the family bindings are being stronger.

I don't see what it has to do with economics. Do you mean more hugs from family give more money?

[klava1983]

I don't agree with you at something.
"The environment is passing the happiest moment now." Well, will it remain when the pandemic ends? Not for long.
"Tightening Family Bindings" is very specific pro. Doctors' relatives and families where a member is infected can't spend a lot of time together now.
 "...corona is expanding the knowledge and use of technology" What's about bankrupted people and elder generation?
"Many people are seeking different online platforms to invest their fund. Many of them has already invested in cryptocurrency." Or maybe those who aren't familiar with the industry invest in shitcoins and ICOs and loose their funds?

[Upgrade00]

If indeed there is any positive to he Covid-19 outbreak it would count as a pyrrhic victory as the bad far outweighs the good. Economies has been hit hard and some on the brink of recession affecting the lives of actual citizens.
One positive I would count is that extra attention would be giving to the health sector to enable it take proactive measures to such outbreaks like this. I read an article that claimed the a new infective disease was introduced into the world averagely every four months and majority of then come from animals.
Equipping the health sector including agencies for food management and hygiene would be effective m

This is the biggest change is saw, the long environment debate about how to sort the issues, a virus has shown it is not that hard to clear the air. 

    • Tightening Family Bindings:
People were busy in their job or business. Very few times was possible to spend with family. Now maximum people are staying at home and passing most of their time with family members. As a result ties of the family bindings are being stronger.

There are two sides for this, some had the opportunity to bond but there will be more divorces after this.

   
   • Expanding the Knowledge and Use of Technology

Government had more control in this aspect, they know how to control everyone with the help of technology, the companies allowing everyone to work at home was a good sign and can continue that in the future.

Oh absolutely. We just need to shut everything down and we can have clean air again. Lol. In all seriousness though, this at least shows that it's not impossible; we just need more sustainable solutions.

    • Expanding the Crypto World
To use the present lazy time, Many people are seeking different online platforms to invest their fund. Many of them has already invested in cryptocurrency. Many governments of the world are thinking for advancement of digital currency where cryptocurrency has a priority in the line. So, Corona is helping to expand the crypto world.

I don't think I've seen any news of a single country pushing digital currency ahead of their priorities during this pandemic since basically everyone is busy trying to contain it. The only push towards crypto I've seen thus far are some Americans spending their stimulus packages on Coinbase, and I don't think that has anything to do with the virus at its core.

It's honestly great that some people are finding silver linings amidst this crisis, but the reality is that this sucks. The only positive I can see that will possibly stick for the long run is that people and their governments will possibly be more careful regarding the spread of disease. This pandemic was almost certainly preventable, but then China censored shit like they always do, other world leaders didn't do enough when they still could, etc.

[Harriti]

There has not been any positive epidemic. that positivity is made by people with a subjective viewpoint, but for the economy and the real situation, it's making things worse. governments are losing more money to control the disease and public debt will increase rapidly. We may face an economic crisis in the next 1-2 years.

[mnporter2001]

it is a small positive for the world, but the price is too expensive. Thousands of businesses have gone bankrupt and millions of people are unemployed. Many people in the United States are starving because the economy has stopped. This really causes a lot of bad consequences for the life of the people and the country in the future. If this epidemic was not quickly controlled in Q3, things would get much worse next year. maybe we will face an economic recession and people will owe more debt.

[Latviand]

"The environment is passing the happiest moment now." Well, will it remain when the pandemic ends? Not for long.

This just temporary, the beauty that you see in the environment right now will never be the same after this pandemic. If everything goes back to normal, polluted air and water will soon exist again as people really make things worse. Hoping that if people know how to use the environment, we should also need to learn how to recover and take care of it so that we don't have a hard time suffering from natural disasters.

We always need to take care of our environment so that we lessen the pollution and let the animals live freely and enjoy the environment. This pandemic is the way for us to visualize what will happen if we don't exist in the outside world. What are the benefits of us if we don't harm our environment and let the animals explore their habitats.

"Tightening Family Bindings" is very specific pro. Doctors' relatives and families where a member is infected can't spend a lot of time together now.
 "...corona is expanding the knowledge and use of technology" What's about bankrupted people and elder generation?

Not everyone can do that right now, especially that those frontliners are risking their lives everyday just to do their duty and serve its community. There are a lot of people dying and some people needs to work just to have some funds to provide for their family. People really need to sacrifice their time and effort just for his family to survive this in the midst of this pandemic.

If vaccine wont come out soon or asap then we will surely go into that situation.Positive thing would really be subjective but well we cant blame out people yet they would surely seek out things
on where they do able to benefit out it either by means of investment or any other thing.For now lets hope for the cure to come out soon before anything else.
We dont hope for this thing to happen it do really give out negative impact in all industries.

it is a small positive for the world, but the price is too expensive. Thousands of businesses have gone bankrupt and millions of people are unemployed.

If this epidemic was not quickly controlled in Q3, things would get much worse next year. maybe we will face an economic recession and people will owe more debt.

We would really be heading there since we know that there is no circulation since everything is already been on hold or in temporary stop of operation.
I cant even imagine on what would be the things look like on next months to come if this would still continue
and theres still no cure and the numbers of infected is increasing even way more higher day by day.

And for me this is the most important thing that happens now if we are talking about crypto advantages.

This time the search for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency increase very high in which gives us hope of adopting sooner.
Now people had already starts to love.crypto and find what benefits this could give not only now but in future preferably.

[plvbob0070]

Generally, that can be the positive effect of quarantine and lockdown, not the virus itself. The virus is the one bringing a negative impact on everyone. But if we are going to look at the other possibilities or another perspective, not everyone can feel this kind of positive effect.

First, about spending family bonding, not everyone has a caring and loving family. Some can be abusive which is not healthy for others who have no choice but to spend the whole quarantine with them. Plus, people who are less fortunate can't think of bonding with their families because they need to worry where can they get money to fees them. The use of technology and other related online activities is only for those who are knowledgeable and have enough resources.

You can still see the difference between those who have the privilege. Just like what others have said, some of this positive effect can only be felt by those who are more fortunate.

[imstillthebest]

what you describe on your post is not just a sign but its already happening  . people right now are doing those practice just to make thier life more fruitful and not boring or threatening .

 there are also signs that virus now are getting weaker because people are now more strong and vigilant  . we are now seeing signs of recovery for the whole economy .  corona season is a good tool so that people can bond with thier family more often and open oppurtunities in the online world . so lets not blame it much

[Cnut237]

The environmental improvements are certainly considerable. Likely conditions will get considerably worse again once the pandemic ends - but will things return to how they were before? I think there are some positive signs that suggest there will be a permanent environmental improvement, even if it is only slight. We have seen how successful remote working can be, a lot of companies are now considering it as a permanent option once the pandemic ends. This should reduce vehicle traffic within and between cities, and also between countries. Companies are struggling, and those that come out of this intact will need to save costs. Removing the overheads of running large physical offices makes sense, as does stopping people say flying from London to New York for a meeting and then flying back. The cumulative savings of switching to remote meetings will be huge. So I do think that there will be some long-lasting positive environmental change. Whether that will be enough to combat climate change is a different question.

[Negotiation]

Climate change is not possible and no one can say exactly when and how it will happen But COVID-19 will bring positive signs to the world and to the lives of ordinary people. Many countries have already come under control and people are running consciously after the virus has subsided Therefore it is very unlikely to have a negative impact Although not enough vaccines for the virus have been developed human awareness is positive Even if things get worse things will get better soon.

[KrisAlex18]

Well said, there are still some positive impacts of this pandemic virus to all of us, but all those positive impacts can only be felt by those people who have enough money to sustain their lives with this pandemic virus. All people suffered from this pandemic virus because they are now jobless. They don't have a source of income now they are only hoping for the help of the government but as what we all know the help of the government isn't enough for us to feed and sustain our family.

Good thing us that you had though something positive despite of the negative impacts of the virus but those positive can not overcome all sufferings we are now facing.

Those advantages can only be felt by people who aren't really struggling with the 'what will they eat tomorrow' problem.

Indeed, those people who don't need to think about what would they eat for tomorrow are enjoying this pandemic virus at their home. They don't need to think about how they would get money.

[DoublerHunter]

^ I agree that at this point where everyone is getting unsure of the future and cannot outweigh any advantages that this COVID-19 brings to us for if we insist these advantages it will only deny the reality how destructive COVID-19 is. Somehow if we keep on thinking that the world is starting to reach its nadir then it will continue breaking our perception about life then might as well we need to deal on what are the things that COVID-19 brought us and we can start from the scratch and have a positive view in life again, spread the positivity and stop dwelling on the negative ones. One of the positive thing that I can see that COVID-19 teach us is "contentment" that people nowadays are starting to adapt what we only have and what we can only do less leisure in the lifestyle and the likes.
