The Covid19 Curve is Flattening

[Darkoth89]

Regardless of it will be the second wave or not, I agree that economic of most countries will not get hit bad anymore due to corona outbreak. Almost every country derived a methodology on how to fight against the ongoing pandemic like they are taking measurements to keep their economic intact while protecting their people. I'm just praying to God that vaccine should arrive before anything worse happening than the current situation. I mean almost every country will bounce back from the current situation economically.

I really wanna share your optimismn here. But when an industrialized nation like the US, with all their resources and infrastructure still reports almost 50k new cases every day, I wouldn't agree with you that "almost every country derived a methodology on how to fight against the ongoing pandemic". From an outside perspective it looks more like the US gave up the fight. That their president thinks they should test less so that they won't have that many cases, just encourages this assumption. With this kind of mindset it's gonna be hard to really flatten the curve and to give the economy a chance to recover.

The question is this; what will happened to the global economy if there is a spike in the spread of covid19 again ?

It will depend on how it will be but one thing is for sure, I don't think that the healthcare system of different countries can cope up if there will be a spike in the cases of COVID19.

I don't think that the curve is flattening right now and there are no signs that the curve is flattening at all. If you will see the graph HERE of the daily cases around the world. It is like a roller coaster which is going up and going down for a moment and then move higher than its previous high.

Re-opening of some of the businesses in some countries is a risky move but they don't have other choices or their economy will go down very hard. They need to have some cash flow that is why they have to re-open some business but with some strict protocols.

But I don't think if the virus will keep spreading, WHO had alternative treatments even if there are no vaccines yet. They called anti-bodies to fight the covid19 virus.

That will be very interesting if WHO has an alternate treatment to prevent the spread of covid-19. How does this antibody works? is there a credible resource that one can look up to know how this alternate treatment work?  is this already being used by WHO? kindly send to this thread.

as far as I've heard there are no confirmed treatments yet, and we don't even have confirmation that people really get immunized and can't contract covid again.
right know eveything is uncertain.

better safe than sorry

Dexamethasone which was purported to be better treatment for covid-19 had been showing a promising cure for a severely infected patients the pandemic  had really devastated and wrecked many businesses I just hope a vaccine is discovered as soon as possible else more damages will be caused, easing of lockdown will surely increase number of cases, of course we cannot continue to lockdown while the government provides  palliatives.

[AakZaki]

The markets are opening partially but we need to be careful when you are going out as the possibility of a spike is highly likely, the global economy is struggling and there is no denying that and you cannot shut the entire market for months and expect everything to be great and with that in mind we need to open everything but with certain restriction and everyone needs to follow proper guidelines and have protective masks while venturing out in the public.

The surge may occur when some people think the pandemic is over.

In my country even the New Normal protocol is implemented, which is a new life with a protocol to maintain cleanliness, use a mask and always wash hands. All activities must still have limits, but not everyone can follow the guidelines set by the government. People who ignore this pandemic are people who are very at risk of contracting and spreading.

The government must continue to exercise full control so that the protocol is run properly and this pandemic ends soon.

Apart from the EU, I don't think that the curve is actually flattening. And it may only happen, once the vaccine developed by Oxford University/AstraZeneca is out in the market. Despite a brief drop, the numbers from the United States are once again on the increase, and so is the case in my country (India). All the Latin American nations are witnessing huge spikes in new infections and more worryingly Africa is now getting impacted as well.

[Kakmakr]

The flattening of the curve is just temporary, because a small single outbreak...like what happened in China recently..will cause a gradual spike in the infections again. We have to learn from previous viruses like the SARS epidemic to see what happens when a virus like this goes wild.

Scientists says we will have several curves in the near future and that we should prepare ourselves for a long journey with this virus. It is not just going to suddenly go away... it will come back several times. The impact of this will be short periods of quarantine to stop the spread of the virus to a lot of people in that area.. and then a slow opening of different locations as infections goes down.

This virus might mutate into something more devastating or a vaccine might be found and everything might go back to normal. 

[Hand7all]

If this epidemic continues to spread, the economy will be introduced to health.
The death rate in this disease is less than 5%, so governments will leave smaller individuals less likely to die in their homes and let the rest work.
Most of the young people will not die because of the disease, and they will do so, and those who die will leave the world silently.
some governments will back to old "stay at home" for some time

Even vaccine would be created then it doesnt mean that we would completely get rid of that curve.This virus is highly contagious and if people arent really that serious on doing social
distancing or following authorities orders then we wouldnt really see that curve to be on the flat side.

Its too early to say that it is already flattening because we do know that there are several waves that we do need to face up.So we can confidently say that we are getting much more better
as days passed.

For now lets hope that pharmaceuticals can really create the cure.

[ReneFreitag]

Most countries will not return to the scenario of a comprehensive closure or re-imposing restrictions because they know that this policy is a failure and may not lead to results.
We have continued the ban for several months, but there has been no change and we will conduct new policies such as social estrangement and other financial policies.
Countries will start to return again, whatever the current pandemic results.

[Vishnu.Reang]

A vaccine is still 6 to 12 months away. Until then, the economy will remain in deathbed. There are specific sectors which got disproportionately affected. Examples are airlines, hotels, transport.etc. And we may witness a major market crash in the next few months.. because the stock indices are almost back to the previous levels despite the horrible state of global economy.

People have to be careful with the situation and we have to learn to live with the virus around and expect you are not getting infected and since there is no vaccine the situation is still risky if you are not healthy but that does not mean that we do not have any treatments yet as more than 90% of the infected are cured. In the beginning there was no guideline regarding that but now there is a clear procedure.

In short we need to wait til next year for the virus to be release, with that long period of time, it's expected that the economy would really struggle, big countries and small countries as long as they are still facing this problem, their economy would struggle but I hope it will not collapse though.

Maybe this is the worst year for businesses but we can survive and the economy will recover if we only accept the reality and we will be responsible in following all the protocols the government issued, I know the situation is bad but accepting it fully would ease that burden.

COVID-19 case still continues to increase in some areas just like in our place, the spread is getting worse that even some establishments resume their business operations but still, the sales are not looking good. This pandemic certainly affects the stock market, lives of the people, and more on economic capability. But despite these things, I saw a positive impact on the online business which we can find out an increase of online users and business that brought something in good. And perfectly a time for a crypto to be recognized and people will adopt in this.

Yeah I've noticed too how many online projects has risen during this time and crypto got a lot more attention than it usually gets.
We still can't say that this is the "flat" part of the hill, it may occur that there will be next even more greater wave of it, but we hope for the best of course.

[wozzek23]

Was a pretty bad situation at first, but I don’t still think it will be as bad if there should be another wave of the virus. Not with the economy, but people are going to be losing their lives due to the Coronavirus, the government has lifted their ban on travels and eased the lockdown, people can now go back to their businesses which means that there will be more of making physical contacts now. The rate at which the virus spreads was growing during the time of lockdown, it will increase more now that there is no lockdown.

Th covid19 plot is not getting flatten on every part of world but only on few countries. For example, New Zealand has declared that they have conquered the pandemic situations and announces about strict restrictions for any visitor to their country including 14 days isolation. But, many countries are just seeing their peak and it is predicted that its peak may occur by the months of September to October. Until there would be a vaccine, we cannot expect the curve to reach zero for the active patients' count.

If corona virus will continue to spread even more, our economy will also continue to strive hard in order not to be totally shut down. People are already encouraged to work not just offline but even online because it seemed that online opportunities have opened up more in this time of pandemic. People have become stronger now to face the crisis even if it means facing another incoming wave of corona virus.

Here in my country, our government wants to take advantage of those who are earning money on online platforms like the marketplace of Facebook by putting tax on it.

It's obvious that online work is one of the easiest and safest solutions to survive this pandemic.
Our economy is having a downfall, we have a lot of debts, it's because of being incompetent in our government.

[GDragon]

In my own opinion, if COVID-19 will start to spread and make a vast number of cases again, I assume that there will be a massive riot in every country because a lot of people will die in starved due to losing their jobs and businesses getting bankrupt. That is why scientists, doctors, nurses, etc. are doing everything for them to provide a vaccine for COVID-19 to prevent this kind of situation from happening.

I don't think that we will reach that kind of struggle in this Covid-19, that's too much and is less likely to happen. I believe that each and everyone of us can help contribute in minimizing the risk of this Covid-19 in a certain country. It is possible if it is a political-related riot that will surely happen due to those governments who are not handling this pandemic properly. But if the government is really responsible and accountable about handling and controlling this virus then people will not need to do those things that can worsen this struggle amidst pandemic. Good leaders is what we need and disciplined citizen to follow the new set of rules and regulations to minimize the risk of getting the virus. 

This is what I really believe too, good leaders with disciplined citizens. We need both. Political-related rally are happening in my country right now. My government are prioritizing other things than prioritizing flattening the curve, we still can't flatten the curve after three months of lockdown, we still have almost a thousand cases per day. Workers who asked for food here are being imprisoned because they gather just to ask for food, isn't it out of touch? I think its better to help them than to imprisoned them. They are the citizens that the government should protect. Some people go outside not because they want to, they won't go out if they are really receiving the help they should get as taxpayers.

It has been about three months that the global economy was hard hit with disruption that had not been experience in a long time.
Even the 1929 economic depression does not have negative impacts as the covid-19 economic impact.

Some of the effects of the Covid-19 affected both individuals and businesses. To individuals here are the effects;
1.Loss of livelihood as a result of loss of jobs.
2.Loss of lives. Those that died as a result of the Covid-19 infection.
3.Social Distance. There is a ban on freedom of movement.
4.Threat of everyone to everyone.

To businesses, some went bankrupt even some governments had to run to the UN and IMF for aids.
Most economies are re-opening and businesses are now operating partially.

The question is this; what will happened to the global economy if there is a spike in the spread of covid19 again ?

This will bring a hard to the whole world because just this past 3 months there had been too many big problem that happening.

People are eager to go back to work and comes out of their houses,what more if this Covid19 spikes again?

Maybe the balance of the world economy will totally collapse because the People will make their own way to sustain their living and that is by looting everything that may feed them.

Loosing Jobs and spending all their resources?this will leave them no option but to make a harsh move.

Didn't see this one shared in the random posts I scanned but WHO this week said that the worst could be yet to come: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-53227219

Global death toll passed half a million in the same week, and it's spiralling out of control in countries that have refused to move according to WHO guidance, so we could yet be forcing the virus to kick into gear.

Good thing we can build up immunity I guess, if I believe what I'm reading so at some point, no matter what governments do, we'll eventually be okay. Bad thing is, people at risk won't be.
