Business  / private sector is dead

As a freelancer in 2 months i got 4 clients only ... in my area 4 clients it's like your biz is dead... no matter how much you try to do marketing/advertising it just does not work ...
I look at other peoples businesses same situation ...

High Tech,Web Development,Web design ,Mobile Development ,Marketing,Blockchain development,Dapps,Web Hosting is dead from what i see


I got friends taxi drivers same situation they are just sitting in the taxi and some day zero clients ,barber shops the same they are sitting around all day smoking ... anything that seems a "luxury good" people don't touch this days.

The only thing people are buying is basic necessities ... oh also food and cigarette prices went up again ...

It's a f nightmare ...those that have billions of USD under the mattress better start investing soon ,or that money will be good only as toilet paper ...

Economy i love it ...

Online and offline the scenario is not good because of the pandemic, but this will not take long we only have to suffer for little more time, WHO is monitoring the vaccines and pharmaceutical industries are on the right track it's only a matter of time we will have a vaccine before the end of the year and everything will be ok again and we will be back to normal.

Everyone hopes their business doesn't die, and there are situations where some business' die and some do not, but in reality this new pandemic stuff was so harsh that every single business could have died, which is a big problem, we are talking about a global pandemic that stopped the whole world, it doesn't matter if your job was office job that workers could stay at home and work, or if it was hands on construction type job or if it was a restaurant, it could be any type of job and it would be hit, some hit hard, some hit not so hard but all of that was affected.

It wasn't like 2008 where people said "food sector always survives because people need to eat", hell on this one even that was hit. So, I would say focus on surviving and not profiting, even if you are losing, just try to eat that loss and continue because in the end if you can survive this period, you will survive.

I believe that the government is making a very big mistake, not allowing small businesses to work in the face of the decline. I believe that different ways can be found to limit the spread of the virus, while enabling businessmen to open cafes, restaurants, museums and other sectors of the public service. In this case, it is imperative to follow the rules of personal hygiene, quantity and distance between people. in this situation, a lot must be taken into account, because every businessman rents equipment or real estate, and in this situation there is no profit and no one pays the bills. therefore, if the situation is not corrected, then any business will die, and every businessman falls into a hole in debt.

Yes, because it becomes a domino effect. If one person is unable to earn his income he won't have how to spend it, then the next person's income is also compromised as there won't be any customers and then we have the scenario described by OP.
Economy is life. Governments can't forbid people from working justifying health reasons. Without economy besides not having money, people's health will also be in trouble! Governments are thinking too little on short run only.

There is never a stable business. One who wants to invest thinking will always gain is like racing with cheaters hoping to win. All you said are true not only in your country but somewhere else, but the good thing here is that it isn't like that all through the year.
There's always this favourable time in business

Staring a business is by definition a risk, you are risking your money and your time thinking that whatever you are starting is going to produce enough money not only to offset your expenses but also to give you profits, but the issue is that everything has changed, business models that were profitable before the pandemic now are facing uncertainty and if this lasts long enough the owners will have to close down and all for something that was impossible to predict becoming victims of the circumstances.

Lol don’t even software engineers, those are the people that are seriously cashing out at this time, even marketing experts.
These are the people that are not really affected in the cases of people losing their jobs. Even right now there are lots of companies that are hiring software engineers.

When the pandemic started I checked for remote jobs and majority of them are all on software engineering, things like web development, design, app developing, and all other software engineering jobs, and marketing/advertising. Don’t compare them with taxi drivers, they are completely different. And moreover transportation companies were hit the most at this time.

It’s a very different situation now, though it will depend upon each country how needs to be open or shut etc depending upon the situation city/county the call would be taken. People have started to save, avoiding any extra stuff or wants which can be postponed have started to come into picture. This gives a really worries as demand will fall drastically for many things other than needy stuff.

It seem so everywhere and we know what's responsible for that, the pandemic you know! Since importation was stopped and international movement of both goods and services the little item every country has it what they made do with. Things become more costly and the government could not even help subsidize,even those things we produce within my country went higher in price. We know it is coming to an end and we are recovering.

Sadly, these sectors have not opened their doors like the food and medicine businesses. At this time we are more educated how to face the Coronavirus, the problem lies in raising awareness because while you take care of yourself there are other people who do not, and therein lies the problem and the incidence of new cases of Covid19.

What causes closure of companies and unemployment, so earning an income is uphill.

We must not lose hope, Freelancers have online opportunities, you just have to be patient and be competitive.

If you are trusting what the WHO is telling then you need to wait for a very long time to see everything going back to normal, i never took the virus seriously in the beginning because in my mind i was following WHO who was telling everyone that it is not a big deal and it will not spread and they usually changed their words every week. Online companies are making money during this pandemic while physical stores are suffering.

People now are on remote basis due to quarantine because of this pandemic situation then its understandable that programmers/developer, designers,online marketers would really have much more demand
yet companies will surely switch up on online basis for the mean time.

There are business sectors which is heavily affected which would result into no demand of specific workers but for people who had skills in web development and other related skills are still
on demand.

I dont know why op had just concluded out that it is already dead just because he do saw that someone didnt seek a particular worker?

Well it is kind of obvious that people like that are not going to be that affected by the current pandemic, they can do their job from their own home practically with no issues and in order to become a software engineer you need to go to college and you need to be really good because I know several software engineers that do not really make a lot of money because they do not know how to code, but if you can code then the sky's the limit when it comes to what you can make out of it.

actually a pandemic is an indirect cause, all because the country is ignorant of the pandemic outbreak, not anticipating immediately after China locks down.
they just think that the corona pandemic is just a pandemic like ordinary influenza. when it spreads and is dangerous then everyone starts to panic. anticipate by dismissing everything that causes large crowds (factories / malls / companies).

ultimately resulting in scarcity of raw materials for production because all factories were stalled, this clearly resulted in scarcity of goods everywhere, and many were looking for opportunities to hoard and sell at high prices. this continues to drive prices out of control and costs many people who end up spending large sums of money.

for countries that can solve pandemics well instead of stopping the pandemic, they can immediately work and activate many sectors so that the economy can run and people can get what they need at a reasonable price.

Not every business is dead but most of them are struggling at the moment, about freelancers then it is also hard time as well depends on their skills if they are related to cryptos or investment sector then they still get more opportunities since people are looking for ways to invest their money due to the pandemic because they lost their hope of the fiat.

The WHO made a wrong move because they do not treat the virus seriously at the beginning, lookout the HongKong where they did not follow the advice of the WHO where they immediately created a plan in order for them to not have crisis. Their country is currently covid free where all of their citizens are living just like before and their economy did not experienced any kind of crisis and recession. In my country, thousands of business are now closed because of the pandemic where millions of people lose their job.

[Sapphire915]

Well, we are all affected with this Pandemic since the lockdown was implemented. A lot of businesses now are still closed and some already declared bankruptcy. Its really hard to look around us and things aren't the same anymore as we can see. Some sectors and industries that are not really essential to us are not yet allowed to operate and seem dead as you have said and we don't really know when this covid-19 pandemic be over so we can be able to revive the businesses that we once had. Its really sad that people around the world are struggling to find some alternative ways of potential earning while the businesses and jobs are put on hold. But, maybe when the vaccine will be released soon...we will all rise up again together with the industries that we belong with. Let's just keep our finger's crossed.

All state finances are of course weakened due to this pandemic, so I don't think you are the only one who complains about the current condition, many people even have permanent jobs and are forced to be fired due to circumstances that are not possible.
The problem of the rich, you don't have to worry, they already know what to do when the economy is weak, it's just that the poor and middle-class are the ones who feel the biggest impact

This was to be expected, the crisis that we face is global in nature so it doesn't matter what you do you are going to be affected by it, however as we know some sectors of the economy have been affected massively by the pandemic, one of them is transportation, especially airlines as no one really wants to travel in an airplane with hundreds of people in a closed space because those are the perfect conditions in which a single person that has the virus could infect hundreds of them and not know it.

From the outside, it really seems that the governments of various states have conspired with each other and, under the pretext of fighting the coronavirus, want to destroy small and medium-sized businesses. The measures are so harsh that sometimes it seems that they are deliberately destroying their economy. However, the business will begin to grow stronger and develop as soon as the right conditions arise. Of course, some part of business structures will inevitably disappear, some will be rebuilt, and some more will just start working. In general, the business cannot be stopped; after the reduction, it will immediately start developing.

I don't think that they are desiring to destroy the SMEs. That's part of the protocol because of the pandemic and likewise, we're on the way to see the recovery of the economy from each country.
The developments are being seen and the resiliency of the economy is getting stronger. Soon, we'll able to determine that every business in the sector have survived but felt bad for those who have closed.
