The Covid19 Curve is Flattening

[mace15]

This is a sad story happened to our global economy if in case this pandemic will not end. A lot of business will close and many people will lose their jobs that resulted to hunger. This covid19 brings so much struggle to the people and to the economy. Even these days people trying to make a ways to make a living.

Well, flattening vertically anyway.

Goddamn I love that flat curve theory, have they decided to do a COVID correlation with Bitcoin or what?

Reminds me of this one I saw on Discord recently. Total FUD from China and TikTok this one, got CCP conspiracy all over the place.

Well, the trick is to use a logarithmic scale when drawing such a chart! Looks way more reassuring that way and then you can see the flattening! Another way to flatten the curve for new cases even more would be to don't test that much ... but that's something smarter people than me already have suggested.

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 ?

I guess we have already seen the worst. When we were hit by the first wave, we weren't prepared at all. This is one of the main reason why the economy of every country were badly affected. But, right now, we know what to do. We are already prepared for the second waved. This means we won't be hurt as badly as we were during the first wave.
I believe if a second wave does come, we will be handling it quite well.

We don't have a cure or a vaccine so we're being (or going to be depending on how you tilt and twist the charts) pretty much equally fucked by the second wave, and in some places even worse. For example some states in the US pledged to not do lockdowns anymore no matter what happens so it's quite possible that some of those places will run out of ICUs, nurses, and/or doctors.

If there are countries that are handling this better - congratulations (and to be fair you'd have to try really hard to handle in any worse) but seeing how the US accounts for ~25% of COVID-19 infections and deaths and is allegedly the world's largest economy - everyone will feel the consequences.

     Well, it is a good thing for you if the covid 19 is flattening in your place, but for other countries such as mine, the cases are just going up and down not while not steadily increasing, it isn't steadily dropping down either. And this is just too frustrating specially to a country which lacks funds to support the needed equipment both for the front liners and for the general public.

     Now, I am pretty sure that this pandemic has already been a big eye opener for the whole world which is why I am pretty positive that when a similar problem/pandemic like this arises in the future, most countries will be well prepared or have allocated budgets and plans for emergencies such as this one. which in turn will result in better management and prevention of overwhelming widespread. That is, if governments of any country at that point won't be too careless and complacent towards such problem.

To those countries that already flattened the curve, there are still chances of having second wave unlike to those countries that still haven't achieved to flatten the curve but rather increase more in positive cases. As long as the virus is still out there and the vaccine is not yet discovered, it is still alarming and dangerous for all of us.

Lockdown is still a must but to some countries particularly in US, people hate to stay at home even with the increasing positive cases in their area. If people will be stubborn to follow such rules and will force to go outside despite this pandemic, worse scenarios might happen. Their health will be at risk and recovery will be very hard to achieve, to people as well as to the economy.

Maybe in your place there is already a flattening curv of covid 19 and that is good but ib my country it was opposite because of a new normal that implemented by the government  it was like going back to normal,a lot of people outside and the transportation are now resumed and many business establishment  are now open. For that new normal, the covid positive here in our country rapidly increased. I don't know when the flattening of the curve in our country. Our lives are getting worst  as the day goes by.

It is pretty much the same everywhere, because most countries share and implement each others covid decisions.
I think it was vital decision for economy, but pretty scary for people overall

We can avoid that so-called second wave if we continue to practice and adopt the new normal in which everyone is now learning from the pandemic. We don't need to crash the market back to nothing again as the pandemic hit surprisingly. If we care about today and in the future, we have to seriously follow the health protocols and what WHO had said. But if we are careless enough to bring back into our lifestyle before we have this pandemic, then to expect the 2nd wave will surely come. And the worst-case scenario is that we have left nothing and yet we aren't recovering that we can't able to sustain at that time.

This covid19 brings so much struggle to the people and to the economy. Even these days people trying to make a ways to make a living.

In some countries the figures of positive cases are rising rapidly, and this is not the good sign. Also, many people have lost their jobs, or they have not received the pay for the period of the lock down. This really is a bad phase for the entire world and still the vaccine is not being found we may face more worst situation than this and longer it stretches more worst will hit the economy of the countries.

   Glowing10 this new rise of positive cases is a worst sign we could have. This is summer and experts said the virus will
gone with hot days, we now have the opposite situation, we have more cases now than in winter season. I don't know
what we can expect, but I don't see anything positive to happen in near future. Economy had a problem with the last
quarantine, now it looks like we will have even bigger problems.

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.

This is what i have come to believe regarding the outbreak of this virus and its impact on businesses.
1. People have learnt ways to prevent the spread of this virus through the use of some measures such as wearing of mask and using alcolic sanitizers.
2. Government and other stakeholders of the economy have realized that digital technologies are the resort in times like this.

so, even if there is a spike of the virus again, people already have a way to tackle it. it just need to be strengthened.

well, there are many conspiracy theories surrounding the covid-19 pandemic. one of such theories is that the virus will go as a result of hot weather condition. How does hot weather correlate with the flattening of the covid-19 pandemic curve? in times like this we should listen to science and not myths.

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.

The existence of Covid-19 pandemic have really brought up a lot of negative effects not just for the lives of many individuals but as well to the economic state of different countries worldwide. We are still into the battle against this pandemic for the curve of the number of infected individuals are still getting into a flat curve for there are still lots of cases being tallied in a daily basis which is really alarming on how this virus is spreading to many individuals.

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 ?

With regards to businesses, many business establishments are now getting into operation but with lesser capacity of work force just to exhibit the social distancing measures to keep both workers and customers be safe from the spread of virus. It is what they do call the "new normal" set up just to slowly make the economy alive and let the people to return to their jobs because most individuals are in a no work no pay basis and having this new normal set up will let the countries to produce goods that are the necessities of people to keep them alive. But once the number of cases have risen up rapidly, for sure there would be a more strict community quarantine that will be implemented and will restrict the movements of the people specially the working individuals and it will affect the economy for sure.

The downfall of COVID-19 is already started, It is not going to hit again with that much strength as we have seen already. I have heard that people also donating blood? I think that is good we have more recoveries then the infected people will fall.

For vaccine I do not think it is going to happen, It will stay and will only vanish when everyone gets infected and get recovered maybe. It is getting down already though.

If the spread of covid-19 will spike once again, we can expect that worst things might happen once again such as economic crisis on which we are still not yet fully recovered since the economy is just still slowly opening up to somehow lift up the economic state from its continuous declination brought by the quarantine caused by this pandemic that pushes people to stay at home and closes business establishments for a temporary to permanent time .

For sure that once the covid-19 infection rate strikes up once again, there could be a lot more numbers of death poll to be stated and it is an awful truth that we must wish not to happen. As of the moment, there are countries that have claimed to be covid free on which there is no infectious rate that have been recorded for a span of time but still there are countries where the infectious rate is still rising so the global economy is still affected because of lack of man power working to have a production of goods and services needed to lift up the economy.

Good thing that the latest news of Russia's discovery of the very first covid-19 vaccine that has already finished the final stage trial lifts up our hopes that this pandemic will soon to come to its end.

[dejuan]

in many countries, Curve is not flat at all. Maybe some places in Europe, Asia are flattening but many other places, like US, Brazil, the situation is very bad

If it is not solved soon (vaccine or something), media will stop talking about it. Otherwise global economy will collapse completely from no business activity and many people will die because of starvation (no money)

[Vishnu.Reang]

The curve is not going to flatten, until we have a working vaccine against the Coronavirus. Because many of the countries, where the lockdown was lifted are facing a second wave of infections now. Examples are the United States, India, Iran and Israel. So IMO, it is not going to get better unless the vaccine is available in the market. And unfortunately, the vaccine is still in trials and it may take at least 6 months more, to mass produce and distribute it to the general public.

[Heart18]

I don't think that the Covid-19 curve was already flattened all over the world. Though some other countries had zero cases in several days, this doesn't mean that its getting better. Because based on the records, the positive cases of a lot of countries, especially in the USA became more higher each day.
As for my Country, the curve is really not flattened yet, and the positive cases are getting worst. But, in order to recover the dying economy, the Government need to loosen some restrictions as well as lifting up the community quarantines despite the high risks it would give to people.
In case another wave of covid-19 will strike us again, I guess we already know how to deal with such strange situation and so the Government too, in handling the country's economy. I just hope its not that worst so we won't suffer too much.
