Saving economy at the cost of what?

[Youghoor]

Frankly speaking this pandemic has brought the entire world on its toes and steeped in distress. However, there has to be a double edged solution or else if we decide to kill it at one front the other front will over power us. First of all, total lock down will bring any country on its knees, even the developed countries could not handle it how much more developing ones. So yeah, restrictions have to be lifted so that economic productivity can go on whiles people take care of themselves to prevent catching the disease.

I think I got so distracted with the failing world economy due to some other countries use of the misfortune caused by the pandemic. They trade for the need in health, food, technology and other necessities in the lock-down. I was not looking at the improvement of the health facilities, culture and personal health precautions around the world which is relapsing with relax of the lock-down. Since no vaccines had been discovered the second waves is bound to happen possibly in higher capacity, so we might need more to save the economy.

Well saving the economy is not really the big subject this time, life is more important than economy and i believe that saving economy this time of pandemic will maybe risk our life, staying at home is all we can do this time to save the economy or maybe to save life, we can still stand after this pandemic if we still have a healthy life, but if we get infected we can make everything worst and the pandemic will maybe last long.

It all depends on our perspective of seeing this pandemic, by accident or by design. If a pandemic is considered an accident, the government will only respond to disasters and depend on mutual support between countries on a humanitarian basis. But if we look at a pandemic by design and a journalist, then the government will be more free to take policies so as not to become victims or at least minimize the risk of losing sovereignty.

Survival mode when a crisis strikes is different from survival mode when wartime. Economic policy during the crisis and during a war is certainly different, this is where the war between the government and the head of state is very important to overtake the corner. Destruction is the real CEO job. Great leaders are those who can damage their own system to be replaced with a new system without losing the benefit of returning to the track for something to aim for. Pandemic provides an opportunity for many countries to escape from attachment and dependency, by following the ways of Germany, Germany, China, the US in achieving the interests of his country.

Life or economy will have to make a well-thought-out decision If people live, the economy will survive When the economy collapses again, it is a big disaster for the people So there is no direct answer here We have to make a decision considering the maximum benefit And people are at the center of the decision The decision has to be made for the people, to survive.

If the people are ready to strictly follow the government directives on wearing masks and social distancing, this issue won't be there. If that was the case, then economy could open without any spike in new infections. But where I live (India) people are going out without masks and everyday I am seeing those who were advised home quarantine roaming around in the streets. What the government can do, under these circumstances? I envy countries such as South Korea and Japan, where people follow the government orders.

People are the way for economic recovery but how can people help the economy if the peoples lives are getting worst caused of covid19 virus. Our government are now implementing new rules as a new normal which cause a rapid increase of covid-19 positive now, because many people are now going back to work and many business establishment are now operating just to open the economy and help it not to collapse. Sometimes i don't understand what really the plan of the government to the people against covid 19 pandemic.

I agree with the government's actions to remove the quarantine in order to save the economy. There really is a risk that may occur,
The actual risk that is feared if removing the quarantine is to increase the number of infected corona viruses. But the thing can be
minimized by applying strict health protocols. Because if you wait until the vaccine is found the risk is even greater in my opinion.
However the people needs to work to make money, because not all work can be done from home.

The government is doing everything to balance the situation, they can’t just stopped working and let the virus killed the economy. I know there are so many irregularities but I believe every government is doing their best, its hard to run a country where people have no coordination at all. They’ll save many as much as they can, and I sure the economy must continue to work so they can still face many challenges in the future.

Here in our country, the government is not that responsible and we already have a huge debt in a lot of organization even in the World Bank. They do not allocate the proper budget and most of our government officials are corrupt and they only think of their own wealth. They are not thinking of the community's situation on how they deal with this pandemic.

It is given that the economy of a country will surely go down due to the damages brought by this pandemic to the small and large businesses. Hoping that government will be responsible on helping most of the families who are struggling in this pandemic. Also, i'm hoping that they make a proper plan about the opening of businesses for them to pay taxes.

Better increase the hospital beds and ventilators before the restriction relaxation because using mask is no longer save ourselves from this corona virus so when people starts to live their normal life the more cases will be there,in that time if hospitals are lacking the treatment then it will increase the mortality rate.

[Freeesta]

Of course, quarantine is required to prevent viral infection. But we must also understand that people cannot be at home all the time. We need to work to make money and lead a normal life. We must not allow ourselves to return to primitive society. Today, the main goal for us is to find a vaccine against the virus. By this we can prevent a recurrence of the disease.

Short term versus long term is a very important thing and that is what the older generations missed out that we shouldn't. If we have to live very very very poorly for the next 10 to 20 years, if we have to give up so much that we basically become like Venezuela and do not eat properly, if we turn out to be really not even living but just surviving, I will be fine with all of that in exchange of having an insanely good future in the end.

If we have to put it on a grading scale, I would rather have 10/100 life for 20 years and then have 100/100 instead of living at 80 now and 75 in 10 years and 70 10 years after that and 65.. continue like that. In the end if we continue this system, poor will not survive, we are killing people who can't afford to live and that is unsustainable, so in the end it will be break down and fixed eventually anyway.

More people are now complacent with the corona virus hence some lock-downs has been lift off and that's the scary part of it, people are not cautious anymore and they became more relax even if positive persons are rising everyday as we seen on the news.  Governments are always reminding people to practice social distancing and wear mask always as precautionary measures when going outside our houses.  This is a big gamble for the government just for people to survive  until vaccine is available and no other way to save our economy by doing whatever it takes to save peoples lives and the economy through the new normal routines.

I think that many governments, weakening quarantine measures, act correctly in accordance with the current situation. We can continue to maintain quarantine measures, save thousands of lives and at the same time destroy the country's economy, the consequences of which will be the deaths of millions of people. Therefore, everything needs to be measured and look at the solution to the problem more widely. In each country, much more people die in road traffic crashes than from coronavirus. A lot more people die from alcoholism and drug addiction than from coronavirus.
There are many more areas where many more people are dying than the coronavirus pandemic is taking. Moreover, we consider this almost in the order of things.
Governments have already realized that if they continue to adhere to strict quarantine measures, then hunger riots will swept away the government in the future, and finally destroy that part of the economy, which has survived so far.
