Current Food Shortage and Economic Decline Caused by Pandemic

[TravelMug]

What will be the solution for this?

Everyone is really working very hard to get it going, as government is easing their lockdown and quarantine, people are going back to work and opening their business, long way to go, but everything should be taken with a baby steps.

How we can help our government on this current circumstances?

Just follow the government rule, everyone should cooperate so that we can move forward.

Does bitcoin or any digital currency could help?

No really, perhaps being used as cashless transactions, but that just about it.

As a matter of fact,we are currently experiencing the result of the Covid-19 pandemic through out the world.
There are so many people who are suffering and because most of the people are now unemployed because of many companies either closed or lessen their workers, the lives of the people getting worst.
      Lack of foods and other personal necessities.
      Lack of finances.
      Lack of transportation because of quarantine.
Those are the major problems we are now still facing while the pandemic continue spreading because there is no cure for this virus until now.

It is in these conditions that we only realize the importance of character education from an early age to everyone. Implanting the values of empathy and humanity as well as the values taught by religion.

What will be the solution for this?

There are three solutions, namely through:
- Raising donations or
- Creating a humanitarian project that makes many corona affected groups productive with all the limitations they have.
- Creating equity crowdfunding to provide working capital for productive small and medium businesses, especially those affected by corona.

How we can help our government on this current circumstances?

Doing good. Thinking and acting with priority so as not to add to the burden of the state and add to the burden of others. For example in my country, for positive patients, the state corona must spend a budget of USD 11,000-18,000 per person until the patient is declared cured. Spread the goodness so that many people will become agents of change.

What is needed by the government at this time is our assistance to strengthen the resilience of the community around our neighborhood through the community support system. Pandemics provide a moment for the middle and lower class to consolidate the base of the pyramid, so that the economy rotates horizontally at the base of the pyramid, not spin vertically upward but slightly downward. So far, the base of the pyramid is only used as a market or population to make profits from large corporations. If the middle and lower economic groups at the bottom of the pyramid consolidate, then the equal distribution of welfare at the bottom of the pyramid will be achieved.

Does bitcoin or any digital currency could help?

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency can't help anything. The ones who can help are those who have bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. We as bitcoin users and bitcoin fans must realize that the function of bitcoin is greasing the transaction. In fact, many who use bitcoin as a safe haven asset is proof that bitcoin owners only use it for investment instruments. There is nothing wrong with that but come back again if we want to open our hearts a little and our wallets are many people around us and around the world who need our help. In India, there was a scarcity of female sanitary napkins, in many countries starving even before the covid-19 outbreak occurred.

the known solution for now is to stay at home so that situation wont get worst . we can help our government that way and we can also help them if we can donate some stuff to the people in need if we have extra. cryptos help too because we can use them as form of donations as well or we can use them to send and recieve money without going outside .things are so far manageable this way so i dont get the point of worrying too much  .  cases are also continue to decline and some places are operating normally again

Indeed the terrible impact of covid-19, infected victims continues to grow. Even the number of deaths continues to grow, therefore
we are must follow the health protocol. So the spread of covid-19 can decrease, and it can also help the government reduce infected
victims. Actually there are many solutions that can be done to prevent the spread of covid-19. Among using bitcoin or altcoins for
payment, because if you use cryptocurrency for payment it can prevent the spread of covid-19. Transactions using crypto only require
mobile phone and internet, so there is no need for physical contact.

Because of the continuously cases of covid-19 in many countries that is the reason of shortaging of foods and many establishment and companies are cant operates thats why many economies are really down. Like others said if all people in every countries are need to use the health protocol that is a chance of decreasing the cases of covid-19 in every country.

[josgandosbro]

the way we help the government is to break the chain of this virus by following the protocol given by the government which is lockdown, bitcoin can't help anything because bitcoin is an investment, maybe those who still have a number of bitcoins can now be helped as long as they don't work

First of all, I want to help my family. We had plans, but because of the coronavirus, everything is postponed indefinitely. It was planned to increase revenue, but unfortunately we only heard a decline in income. I would like to accelerate the return to normal, and not just lie down and wait for it to end.

[oHnK]

The main solution of this case is to stand together. One man cant solve everything on its own. Not only government but each individual. Everyone must have a role. The government must work hard to implement a prevention scheme so that the virus does not spread widely, heal the infected, even take care of the country's economy which certainly get the impact because of pandemic. The society should also fully support the government by complying with the government's policies, and still protecting themselves and their families, the rich help the poor survive. Donation is one of the example.

Food shortage wouldn't really be a problem if the people who are trying to make the most out of their products kept giving it to people who do not need it but have an option to choose it instead of people who do need it. Let me explain it like this, if you remove 50% of the food from USA nothing happens, just distribute the 50% left over food to everyone equally and nobody dies, you know how much that %50 you removed means? It means ALL of Africa can feed on it.

So, we are talking about USA having excess food that they trash every year at a rate where it could feed the entire African continent. Why? Because companies need to give that "option" of picking if they want this product or that product to Americans in order to max their profits while Africans can't pay for it.

Don't also forget those brave medical front-liners that are helping to cure those infected and recovering patients. They're also risking their lives and the main problem that they're dealing with is the lack of medical supplies and protective gear.
~snip~

The main problem on the medical team as the front guard against corona virus is the lack of Personal Protective Equipment and the limited number of medical teams and cannot compensate for the many patients who are corona positive.

In my opinion food is still available, but many rich people who are greedy to hoard food in their own homes, so that people with lower economic levels can not buy the food because it has run out. The purchasing power of the middle class and lower is also reduced because there was no income gained when this pandemic began.

The government will be their helper to overcome this economic crisis, the most important thing is still to follow the rules and protocols set by the government.

      Lack of foods and other personal necessities.

reading about this, I remember a very sad condition in my country. There was a mom who died because of not eating for several days during the pandemic. They don't have any food to eat. He left her kids and husband. It is not in my near location. but watching the news about that at that time really made me worse enough, I sometimes think that I don't get enough what I want and I complained about it. But after watching that news, I realized that I'm very lucky person, who can still eat with my family without thinking so hard.
That's why, for whoever we are, let's see people around us, who need our help, we must give them at least for their foods for the shake of their life. The sad story should not happen again.


About financial conditions, everybody and the country face it and this may be a worse time to time. This becomes a global crisis. What we need to do is not spreading this virus to many more people, we should stop the spreading of this virus by following the instruction of health protocol. Additionally, we can maximize our efforts to still work in whatever we can do. It may be very difficult for some people especially in my country. They should work for food, but it is also risky for them. We should help each other and do our best.

You can earn crypto currencies in many ways just like how you can earn fiat so the digital or cryptos cannot be a solution for this pandemic. Government have to help the people who are in need because not any individual can afford such huge amount.I will say governments don't really care about you, they care about their economic depression only for that you have to work and pay the taxes again.Maybe this help people to realize the importance of decentrlization.

[Freeesta]

So that we can help our government, we must take care of ourselves and other people around us. Measures must be taken to protect against the virus in order to stop its spread. I think this virus can only be defeated together. Together we can create conditions for a stable situation and after that it will be possible to implement measures to overcome the crisis. We must support local producers and look for new markets for products. You may have to give up some habitual things.

Does bitcoin or any digital currency could help?

List of some dedicated charities and fundraising event promoted here to help in the times of covid.

_{There are some platform too outside forum that do fundraising and event to use digital currency to use on helping those are in need. Such as Binance, Tron, Bitcasino and many more.}

• Project Covid-19 :  An approach to support the Bitcoin community
• Bitcointalk Charity Program Signature Campaign - Give Hope To Everyone...
• Project Covid-19: Supply to 50 (Now 70) families in Nigeria, Images {Donate👇}
• Fundraising campaign-Feed the one who are affected by the COVID-19 🦠Pandemic

[Negotiation]

These charities are great at helping COVID 19 but it is never possible to help so many people in the country one by one Most of the people are living in crisis due to weak government system. Due to the epidemic everything is closed and the farmers are not able to produce Due to the financial crisis, they are unable to cultivate and there is a food shortage Due to which the country's economy is being hampered It is not possible to improve the country's economy until everything is opened up.

[The cure]

One of the best thing we can do to help our government from preventing the spreading of the virus is to follow their instructions to us,always keep in mind that its for our own safety. In that way you are already helping our society from avoiding the spread of the said virus.Many stablishment are still close and some are already returning back to operate, that pandemic brought to us suffering and struggling in many aspects in our lives. Food shortage is one of the big challenge that our government facing of today because of economic failure,many in different countries are hungry, and government not able to support everyone due to lack of budget.And If we are capable in life just learn how to share something to anyone who needs help. Eventually everything will be alright.

To be honest, it is really hard to overcome the current situation of the pandemic of the corona virus because even our governments don't know how to take care of it, and they don't know how to deal with people who are starving. Collaborating with our government is one of the good way for us not to suffer for long, even there are a lot of things that we don't want in our government on how they lead because collaborating with them could help to lessen the virus cases and for us not to starve to death.

Those are the major problems we are now still facing while the pandemic continue spreading because there is no cure for this virus until now.

What will be the solution for this?

Start your own vegetable garden, take care of chickens if you have the land, buy and HODL/save necessary supplies. What else can we do?

How we can help our government on this current circumstances?

Follow the quarantine, and social distancing protocols.

Does bitcoin or any digital currency could help?

YES, it helps you hedge, and it helps you save.

[Latviand]

We can help by pushing Bitcoin payments for online purchases, because Bitcoin is a contact-less payment option, it reduces the chance of people getting infected and if we can reduce physical contact with cash and coins (fiat currencies) then we will win the virus pandemic.

Bitcoin payment is what we need right now, its security and safety towards pandemic is really certain. Digital currency should be the number 1 option of all of the transactions right now, but we all know that not all markets are engaging in that kind of system. Bitcoin should be used in many transaction to reduce the risk of getting the disease from a tangible or paper money. By that, we can help the promotion of bitcoin in just a simple way of using it so that people will see the importance of bitcoin amidst of this pandemic. People right now are only relying on those online shopping where it is less hassle and payment is only done by the use of technology.

Boy scout motto "Be prepared!" I think it will be the right time to apply on our daily living during this time of covid-19 pandemic. A one good example of this is, if you have enough space on your home backyard,why you don't try to plant a sweet potatoes,cassava and a different kind of vegetables,i think it could help anyone during the food shortage.
