Second lockdown due to covid19 is painful

[celot]

Not a good year but we survived.

We all know it is hard but we should realize that a lot of people were hit harder by this pandemic. Some lost their families and as far as I know, there is this story where his/her family died and he/she is the only one who survived. It is hard but we should look on the positive side, we continue living and prove to this world that we are all strong but we need to learn.

We know how many people have loss their family by pandemic covid 19 and we always hope this pandemic could ended in this year, almost one year we always discussing with covid 19 and thousand hundred people was pas away after positive covid 19 and we can see our family when get this covid, but always have the end of pandemic era because right now have vaccine and hope could working well to make pandemic over ended.

This is not the second lockdown, it depends on the country you are from. There have been many countries that have had second lockdown since. Second lockdown has been driven as a result of the virus infecting more people after the first lock down ended. Which means for any country that has had or is having or will have second lock down or third or more, it will only be as a result to reduce the pandemic because if their is no lock down after the infection is rising in a country, it will only lead to a problem that can get all people in the country infected if their is no lock down and isolation.

See mate, looking at the previous lockdown its quite understood that lockdown did not help matters, OK as these question or answer these while during lockdown the numbers of corona virus patients keep on increasing, irrespective that many people we're at home, so how did people contact it, so it's obvious that been in door will not serve anyone and the best option is to obey the rules and regulations of covid in order to avoid contamination of the disease simple.

This is a crazy world! And while some of us fighting with second, third, fourth wave and another lockdown, in some parts of the world things are "normal" (like that ever existed) again!

The only part of the world that is feeling "normal" right now is China. Every other country in the globe is still reeling form the COVID 19 pandemic. And that is funny, because the pandemic first originated from China. It spread to the other parts of the world, as a result of international travelers from China. Now the country from where the virus originated has gone back to the normal mode many months back, while in other regions the residents are facing reimposition of lockdowns and other restrictive measures.

We still can't be so sure.

It is true that we already have the vaccine but I think we still have two problems:
1. It is still not enough; and
2. There is a new variant of Covid that is said to be more contagious than the previous one.

I think it would take another year or maybe years for us to be completely free from this pandemic and that would just mean that for those who are unemployed would be more painful.

I'm sure that we are from different countries, but I can confirm that you say that second lockdown is not effective. We are having a lockdown (but not strict), a curfew, different limitations on goods and places to visit, but still number of cases remain the same. It is either people disobey the rules and got sick, or media and statistics lies. I know cases, when people spent all the time at home, order food online and still manage to get infected.

I guess the youth got tired of sitting at home. It has been almost 1 year, without parties, shopping and movie watching. Those who are middle-aged or elderly would understand the risk, but it will be very difficult to reason with the youngsters. And the irony is that the youth is almost safe from COVID 19 (their fatality rate is like 0.1% or so), but they are much more likely to spread the disease to others.

The news about the second lockdown to be implemented really have sound to be alarming for everyone because if we all can remember how difficult life is when we have undergone the first lockdown wherein most of us are really affected due to certain restrictions brought by the implementing health protocols to ensure that we are on control of the spread of virus not to get any further. The second lockdown seems to be alarming but I think it is a must thing to do to avoid the new variant of covid-19 to spread even more which will cause another major problem if that thing will happen. This would be a big sacrifice for all of us for the sake of our own safety.

This is going to be exceptionally difficult for everyone involved, lockdowns are very hard on people, for the most part people live day by day and they do not have any savings and the few that did most likely have already used them during the pandemic to pay for medical services or just to pay for all what we need to protect ourselves in our daily lives, this means that a new generalized lockdown could be even worse than the first one as people are incapable of taking it anymore.

A choice needs to be made between implementing a lockdown or opting for more deaths and infections from COVID 19. Considering that, the governments don't have any other choice available. Anyway, it is just a matter of one or two months. By then, the peak winter will be over in the Northern hemisphere and the impact of the vaccination program will be visible.

I definitely agree with this.

The only countries that'll have a second lockdown once the new COVID-19 straint is confirmed, are those countries that are continuously lacking in proper risk management in this pandemic, we don't need vaccine to prevent the virus, New Zealand is one of the great example, we just have the wrong Government that's why we're still on a lockdown after almost a year already. An early travel ban would be a great precaution to prevent the new straint coming in your country. However here in the Philippines, they always says that no travel ban would be applied unless there's a confirmed new COVID-19 straint, how funny is that.

Luckily, by the voice of many people here, they are forced to put a travel ban for everyone's safety (at last).

The youth does not take whole situation serious and no one who can supervise what they do. They only understand that while they are young, their immune system is extra strong and they can not get infected. But what they dont understand that they might be just virus carriers and carry it to people with weak immune system.

Since schools are closed or different classes have long holidays, all of kids just hang around in group that does not follow 2m rule at all.
Example: yesterday I say a bunch of school kids in a small shop that has a sign "1 person only". They bought a bag of chips and went out, walked somewhere and passed this bag around. There is a possibility that today 5 families will be put on lockdown for 10-14 days as they might have contacted with infected person.

This is a crazy world! And while some of us fighting with second, third, fourth wave and another lockdown, in some parts of the world things are "normal" (like that ever existed) again!
It's not the same for all of us, while some didn't feel this "situation" (people who continued to work and receive paychecks), for some this is like death penalty! Many small and micro businesses are lost (while billionaires are making billions), many people (and their families) are left to struggle for basic needs!
I didn't change my mind, the whole situation is a "man made"! And be sure that the ride is not over yet, we will see a lot more, this brainwashing campaign is leading us into something. I hope we will wake up before it's too late to make changes for the better!

Tin-foil hats on, but are you saying that China released a bio-weapon to slow down the whole world economy, while they move on with their path faster to become, and replace the United States, as the world's No.1 Super-power?

[MCobian]

It is very interesting to talk about the conspiracy theory of this corona virus, indeed, not a few people say that this corona virus is man-made
with the intention of creating an economic crisis on a large scale. Please judge for yourself which countries benefit economically from this
corona virus.

Then regarding the second lockdown carried out by several countries, it is definitely painful and detrimental to people who have a low economy.
Because it is very difficult for those with low economies to survive if a second lockdown is imposed. Even now, the number of unemployed
in various countries in the world is very high, and the number of companies that go bankrupt is also not small.

Look crazy how come Wuhan first place for covid 19 look freedom and many people could going any where together and looks what happen in London and many other countries have loss their dreaming with freedom, they have stay at home and never out from home at the night, look like country and world have war right now with many people afraid to do anything and go any where. Almost one year nothing good speculation with covid 19 will gone, will need one year again?

[DrBeer]

I will now express my opinion regarding the idea that the roots of the man-made coronavirus are China, and even that this is their "plan".

The idea "if something happened - look for someone who benefits" is very ancient. But in this situation, China, as the side "which is profitable", looks very untenable! Let me explain:
1. If we assume that the "homeland of the coronavirus" is really China, then they would most likely seek to "cancel" this fact, because getting the status of the world center for the spread of the virus that led to the pandemic is definitely not in China's hands.
2. A decrease in population all over the world, especially in the United States, as well as a decrease, a very strong decrease in the purchasing power of countries that consume goods from China - this is the death of the Chinese economy! If the US produces DOLLARS, then China produces goods that they, the Chinese, want to sell for DOLLARS, and the US is just the main consumer of their Chinese goods.
I can give more reasoned arguments, but these 2x are quite enough. If you can parry, I will gladly hear your arguments!

I think in Wuhan, a lot of people already got their Covid vaccine shot. That's why they have the balls to go out. As other people around the world are still waiting for their vaccine shot, what we can do is stay at home as much as possible and wait for our turn to get this vaccine. I believe the major option not to be infected with this virus, is to get the vaccine. However, with new variant, we don't know the efficiency of the developed vaccine to this new one.

London is melting down.

yesterday th rate was 1 in 30 people have covid in London.

TODAY 1 in 15 that is serious.

1 in 15 it now feels more like YOU WILL GET THIS!

[FlightyPouch]

This year is really hard but it will just go harder as another variants are being found. Another lockdown is hard but it is inevitable since the new variants are said to be more dangerous. All of us are having a hard time, especially those that are directly affected by these virus. What we need right now is to adjust and keep on living. We need to be strong and make ways to earn for ourselves and our family.

Is this particularly talk about on the new strain? If yes then we are really in big trouble.

We havent finalized the vaccine for covid 19 and now we are facing again for  a new strain which is really more fierce than the older one.

If there would be an another lockdown then i cant imagine on how people and businesses that had been recently affected by those previous lockdowns will able to make
some recovery if it would be followed up by another lockdown.

Whatever lockdown measures are implemented now, they will not be there for long. Vaccination has already started, and according to Boomberg 18.9 million people have received the first shot of the vaccine (including 7.1 million in the United States and 1.5 million in the United Kingdom). Within a couple of months, hopefully we will be able to witness a steep decline in the number of new infections.

I don't think there will be such disastrous lockdowns again. The reason is people are really frustrated and we all know, lockdowns aren't the solution at all. Months of lockdown were there and it proved to be a disaster for economy and way of life. The psychological damage also was huge for common people. Instead of that, we should rely on vaccines and herd immunization so that we can combat the virus without damaging life through another lockdown which has no meaning.
