Second lockdown due to covid19 is painful

[wxa7115]

Covid19 is really disturbing worldwide, the information passing across because of covid19 second lockdown is very strong, the previous lockdown really affects people especially trader's, entrepreneurs and many people lost their life's and siblings, so since the vaccine for treatment of the virus is out I think government don't have to lockdown countries again for the sake of less privileges in society, life is very difficult for people in rural areas and our leaders are not care to look towards the development or needs of poor's, I think government of some certain countries should remember that all hands are not equal, by following cases of covid19 with precautions instead of shutting down everywhere or making the prevent measures of corona virus to be necessary to people living in such domain, I think it should be more preferable than closing source of less privileges daily breads.

What is happening is that despite the fact many vaccines have been created and approved for use all over the world now we are in a stage in which the issue is the production and the distribution of the vaccines, the efforts are just starting and for the most part only those that are part of the healthcare industry are getting the vaccine since they are the ones that are at the most risk, there is simply not enough vaccine to justify returning to our normal activities.

But give it time, during the next 6 months the vaccine being produced will skyrocket and with it the need for new lockdowns will disappear.

In my view, people who live in rural areas will still be fine, they take advantage of agricultural and plantation products and even those seafood can still be sold and some may be consumed themselves. Therefore, I think people who live in rural areas will still be fine, different from people who live in cities who mostly rely on salaries from a company, this will have a negative impact on their own employees. So during the second lockdown I think it is used to it, because learning from the previous lockdown, at least each individual will definitely have a better plan.

Have you heard about the new variant of Covid-19 in Europe, specifically in Italy?

It is really not that good to hear those news that can ruin our hope to go back to normal again.

If second lockdown will occur then I think most of the countries who are struggling with Covid-19 will suffer more when this new variant already spread in some areas. This new variant is really much more harder to prevent as it is much easier to transmit. If this thing started the second wave of Covid-19 then our economy will worstly go down for sure.

It's very obvious that not all countries at these point will experience second corona virus but due to what is involve in government every country with bad eggs of leaders will use such avenue to bring economy of her country down by embezzling their funds, when looking at the ratio of affected covid19 patients of different countries is not like the way it's in 2019 when corona virus started, even in 2020 so while would government lockdown again to suffer people, my major concerns is for those living in rural area that have no furtherance. Happy New Year In advance, Keep Safe

Its really necessary to implement this lockdowns if we want to mitigate the people getting sick and dying and with the new Corona Virus Strain which is already affecting multiple countries and not just the United Kingdom is really disturbing because the fact that even UK failed to compress or contain or quarantine this virus is really scary for third world countries.

[Noctis Connor]

We now in another crisis which is the virus can move to people to people that fast because of this if they don't lock down and still accept tourist from different country they will regret it again since they knew already what happened since they think that they can easily control everything even virus, Each government country should make moves to warn people ban travel in and out so we can prevent it, since we are in too much situation covid destroyed so many lives and families and still we do not have vaccine and now we have another variant of virus this is cruel. Our economy will gonna be down for sure.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

In my point of view, if there will be a second lockdown due to the new COVID-19 strain, it will definitely be a problem because many businesses and employees will be interrupted that they will temporarily lose their source of income again. However, it still depend in a country if they have a huge number of cases of the new COVID-19 strain before they consider a second lockdown.

[AniviaBtc]

I think that here in my country, it is really possible to have a second lockdown after the government made a wrong decision to open some businesses and public transportation.

People outside are now so confident when engaging with other people and some malls are very crowded compared to when the government implemented a strict lockdown and community quarantine.

Now, that people are going outside everyday going to different places to work or to earn money, I think that it will sharply affect other factors even if they just do it for the sake of businesses and economy. Goodluck to each and everyone of us and I hope that we are safe during this Covid-19 pandemic.

I have talked to a biologist friend and told me something about this Covid "variant". It is actually the same Covid-19 virus that has been mutated to survive inside the human body for a longer period of time, and that means it's trying to live longer and try not to kill the host. That's less deadlier than the original strain of the covid. Mutation is part of the virus' life cycle, and so it was expected. A lot of people from the medical field has been talking about this before. However, there are instances about a more dangerous virus mutation. But, I don't think this is the case for the covid-19 because the vaccine still works against this virus.
Nevertheless, let's all still be careful and follow precautionary measures when going outside.
A lockdown 2.0 might be possible too.
But, that doesn't worry you much when you're invested in Bitcoin

Unfortunately, the vaccine is not evenly distributed.

Not yet, but it will be.  The world is fortunate that a vaccine was developed this quickly, for one thing, and for another it takes time to produce vaccines in sufficient amounts to inoculate pretty much the entire world.  I have a buddy who's a physician and he just got the vaccine.  Health care workers are going to get it first, of course, and then hopefully the at-risk population, and then everyone else who wants to get it.  That's the way I'm hoping it goes.

Jeez, it sounds like there's crazy lockdowns in some countries, although I don't know where any of the people who posted here live.  My guess is that it's not in the US, because nobody's locked down here.  Everyone is taking precautions, and there are new regulations about wearing face masks, but stores and most other businesses are still open, even if it's by appointment only.

To those that are housebound around the world, I feel for you.  Try to stay busy and avoid social isolation whenever you can.  A lot of people's mental health is worsening these days because of lockdowns and everything else.  Stay positive and get that vaccine when it's available.

See, mate, what is going to be our profit if we are asked to be at home for three months when we have prevent measure of corona virus, the problem is that during the previous lockdown many people passed through pains at home because their are no enough food to eat and other necessity, supporting such implement is not ideals, do not consider lockdown implementation because government is right but in the aspect of poor masses.

Yes, we need to be grateful that vaccine has been rolling-out now. It is understandable, that health care workers will get it first as they are vulnerable because of their work. With the new variant of Covid- we do need to take health protocols seriously. While we are still waiting our chance to get the covid shot, make sure that you are taking care of yourself not to get infected.

[Upgrade00]

Not yet, but it will be.

Hope so. Last time I checked, my country were trying to get a loan to enable us get the vaccine down here faster, this would mean more economic debt, but if it leads to the end of the pandemic here, would be worth it.

A lot of people's mental health is worsening these days because of lockdowns and everything else.  Stay positive and get that vaccine when it's available.

Health care workers in the front line would be most affected and in need to therapy. Due to their constant risk of exposure to the virus, they have been forced to avoid their homes and family members for prolonged periods of time as well as being the ones to witness first hand the effect of the virus.

You got actually some points but not all governments doesnt really mind off about their citizens current situation and for you to say that they dont really care at all.
If you do think then is there any choice that they would able to make? None! If they wont lockdown then they would be suffering even more in terms of medical aspect or sector
which means that will really be a huge impact into economy as well where lots will get infected if they wont really be making such health protocol.
Second lockdown might or might not happen in some countries yet that new strain of Covid virus isnt still too scattered.

[inoes]

Does this have something to do with the mutation of a new type of corona virus with the name VUI 202012/01 which originally appeared in the UK? so everyone panicked on the grounds that the genetic “spike” protein of the virus could be the cause of the direct and easy spread of the virus between humans. even though I would rather agree if the handlers use enough vaccines and good nutrition for the community. Didn't we learn for the last 10 months? that the lock down is less effective.

[jaysabi]

Didn't we learn for the last 10 months? that the lock down is less effective.

No, what we learned is that the stricter the lockdown was the less community spread there was and the fewer hospitalizations and deaths that followed. The data shows a direct contradiction of what you said, in that the lockdowns are effective at slowing the spread. The places with the largest problems are the places with the laxest lockdowns.

[raidarksword]

We saw this coming long far enough hence majority of people too complacent and obviously didn't follow simple safety protocols. Even with the pandemic, people still going outside like nothing happened around and going on vacation and going public parties because of their boredom in their homes. We just have to accept these scenarios and prepare for worst hence the virus also mutated and lockdowns are now implemented again.

[ethereumhunter]

We hope the new virus is not spread to many countries, and the government can handle the new virus and infected people before it spreads to many people. This situation needs awareness from the government, people, and we need to work together to prevent the new case which already happens. I believe that we still have a hope to see the virus will end soon.

[Deddyhoku]

Every day of lockdown is killing more and more small business. Economic consequences will be dramatic

[Phantomberry]

I hope everyone is safe in this situation this second lockdown is much strict compared to the 1st lockdown. This coronavirus is mutating and much faster to spread compared to the first case in China. But we hope next year all vaccines produced by the other country could fight this virus and put it in the end.

Small business is already dead since Summer. Now all others are under pressure.

Since summer, number of cases in my country increases 10-15 times. We still dont have a total lockdown, but have several stupid limitations. It is not allowed to trade several goods (government prohibit to trade all the goods that are not first necessity goods) and shops working hours has been reduced. Logic is following - if you still can trade, you must trade. But if you work, you wont get a financial support from government. That was all announced before xmas. That all caused huge queues in shops, where no one follow 2m rule. That lead to number of cases increases...
