Second lockdown due to covid19 is painful

[GeorgeJohn]

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.

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.

Yes, it is. The second lockdown will be necessary to prevent many people gets infected from the new variant of Covid-19 which already spreads to some countries. While the vaccine is not yet distributed to many hospitals and not many people get cured by the vaccine, a new virus is already attacked England, and some country prohibits for people who come from England to enter to their country. I guess the attack of the Covid-19 will continue in the next year, and with the new virus comes out, we really need to extra careful in the public area.

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.

The UK passed 40K daily cases yesterday, Germany is in a death row.

Economically it will tough January with this "new stain". The whole winter tourism is at risk, which will hit hard mountain countries like Slovenia, Italy and Austria. Maybe we will face a weaker Euro than expected.

In my country it's also the second lock down and I really hope its the last one. The first lockdown was not as painful as this one. It might the case because now its winter and there are not many alternatives to staying indoor. I have a lot of hope in the vaccine to fix your way of life for 2021.

I know that it feels bad to experience a second lockdown. I’ve been there before. Let me tell you what I have experienced back then. Sometime between mid-March until mid-May, I never got out of the house because I am exposed to my mom who visited a neighbor that was tagged as “Patient Under Monitoring”. First, I was quarantined for 14 days. And after the 14th day, the city declared lockdown the next day until May 15th. Only one person was authorized to go out to buy essential goods and services for 3 days a week, and the rest of us shlould stay  I was depressed those days even though that I had an online job plus other gigs like interviews, etc.

The second lockdown I’ve experienced was for the entire of September 2020, where my hometown and a few cities are under the strictest form of quarantine. But that time, I was allowed to go out anytime because I have secured an essential ID and permit days before the second lockdown occured. And of course, I am forced to buy a small bike since public transportation (e.g., jeepneys, taxis, etc.), are not allowed during the strictest quarantine measure.

Right now, we are on the lowest quarantine level until the end of January 2021.

It’s almost a “ghost town” feeling for me. I just hope that the new COVID-19 strain would not arrive here in the Philippines, as the government already taken action in banning passengers who are flying from those countries that are affected with new COVID-19 strain.

I feel for you guys who are experiencing this right now.

TBH, I don't want to say that a lockdown can happen next year if the another strain of virus that spreads faster will be on all the countries but if they can't prevent it from spreading and we all know that the strain that is first seen in UK has a 70% faster spread rate then they have no other choice but to impose another lockdown again but now it will be shorter.

Yes we all know that there are many vaccines already there unlike in the first months of 2020 but these vaccines are on its clinical trials still. I feel sad though for those people who are greatly affected by the lockdown imposed by the government in all of the countries. TBH in what I saw when they imposed lockdown, another lockdown may affect the economy worse than what it is months ago when they imposed lockdown too. There are many families affected on that time and they are slowly recovering right now but this time, there is a chance that they will not have money again since they might not work again for some time which is quite unfortunate .

[Upgrade00]

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,

Unfortunately, the vaccine is not evenly distributed. Richer nations have pre ordered enough to vaccinate their citizens more than one time over, but poorer nations would wait much longer to get their hands on them, so the less privileged in the society would not get the treatment as efficiently as others.
This situation makes lockdown necessary, especially in areas where the virus is still spreading fast.

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.

While corruption is wide spread, effecting policies to bring the economy down doesn't really favour the government as they would be losing revenue, while they'll also need to provide relief for the masses.
In some countries the virus is worse now than it was earlier in the year.

[Gozie51]

My surprise and concern is why the need for second shutdown when they say the vaccine is out and functioning? If the vaccine is active then it should be used on the affected people and not to shutdown again because it will further impoverish the countries and people more.

Shutting down will imply that vaccine is not out yet. More effort need to be made to ensure the vaccine is taking care of the covid-19 pandemic.

[Broly46]

Painful???
I’m going to tell you covid will be here just like QE 1,2,3,4
Covid 2 covid 3 covid 4... yup expect to continue lock down indefinitely, it’s a good excuse to stop people going insane just like 2008-2019, the government know how effective of the covid on controlling folks they would milk it for more years to come. Who care the impact to the overall economic, you don’t adapted to the change, you get disposed of.

You're right, in fact the second lockdown from corona is making everyone suffer. The embezzlement of funds is taking place behind the scenes of the national government. save each other's wealth. oppress the economy of the people who have no provision for life without any guarantee. It is unfortunate.

[sunsilk]

The new series of lockdowns are inevitable. With the new version or strain of the virus, the governments has to do something to lessen the transmission and avoid another huge wave and increase of active cases. And there will be also travel bans from those countries that has the new variant of the virus.

In my country, there has been no lockdown since the emergence of this pandemic.  The government only makes large-scale social restrictions to deal with the pandemic.  For the development of Covid-19 which has mutated in the UK and spread again to several countries, the government in my country limits the foreigners who come.  Maybe what will have an impact is on the tourism side which yesterday started to return to normal but was restricted again because visitors from outside countries were prohibited from visiting my country.

[electronicash]

the economy hasnt yet recover but its all going to dive once again. if we get locked up for another year i dont think many will even have to be affected anymore, some of us may simply just want to end their lives.

its neccesary as recommended by the expert. this covid will not end till humans are purged.
lockdown within the city is just not the most desirable situation, i would rather be in the middle of a jungle at least i'm out in the open.

[Sterbens]

should this be done by every country? locking the economy continuously and only used by certain circles. Indeed, some countries do it, because of the fear of the continuing spread, is there no solution other than lockdown? How can society survive in such an unfortunate situation?
I feel that this is just one-sided, and society has no other alternative but to follow the rules of their country. otherwise they will be penalized.

[Cling18]

If it happens in our country (which is actually announced that it could possibly happen in the future), I'm sure that it would affect our economic situation negatively again. Lots of businesses would stop operating again and people would lose their source of income which would cause chaos because our government couldn't support the whole country. I'm sure that this situation might go worse in the coming days due to the new strains but we all have to be strong physically and emotionally.

[Sapphire915]

Its really hard. We've been through it for several months and I can say that we are not recovering yet, financially. But if this new strain of covid-19 will rapidly spread, its really possible for lockdown to be implemented again. The Government should need to do that to protect us and the whole nation. Because in some poor countries like us, I dont think we can handle this new strain anymore. We are totally drowned with debts and we are running out of budget. But despite the limited resources in the midst of pandemic, corruptions from highest leaders are still on. This is really devastating. I just thought, we saw the light from finding the cure/the vaccine that was now out in the market. But here comes another new strain of virus, that will put us all back in the dark.  I guess, the experts will spend their whole time again finding a new vaccine for this new strain of covid-19. I dont know when all this world craziness will be over...but, one thing is for sure, a strong individual will be left in this battle of the unknown.

[GeorgeJohn]

No rules and regulations a country can introduce except shutdown, we really knows that shutdown is not helpng matters via corona virus Case, even been at home does not cure the virus or limit total numbers of affected people in society because during the previous lockdown, everywhere was shutdown for some period of months but the numbers of affected patients keeping on increasing, so it's not needful to shutdown while everything needed to treat it is available.

Looking at these thread some people is also emphasising that shutting down is the remedy to handle these situations, so I stand to ask while?  what we really need is adequate treatment, nose mask, to prevent our self not be contacted and keep our businesses moving, because not everyone is a working class person, we work in different fields in order to earn a living, and if protest can be carry in order to let some countries governors or head of states to stop the ideology of shutting down everywhere in January 2021 I will be happy.

I think your country is quite disciplined, but unlike the country I live in, people are fed up with government regulations that only restrict people from interacting, whereas government officials are the opposite. they held massive celebrations and caused huge crowds. but there are no sanctions, on the other hand, if there are people who crowd around, they will automatically be sanctioned and even imprisoned.
Do you see anything that is abnormal with the regulations in the country I live in?
I feel like I really am in a dictatorial country.

[slapper]

We can not depend on the government to save us from this pandemic. Only we have the power to stop the virus from spreading and find jobs for ourselves. Many governments are claimed to steal taxes for their personal purposes. Most of the information is locked and news that accuses them is forbidden.

Actually, traders don't lose their job during the pandemic. They only lose their money because of the high volatility of the market. However, you can prevent this by setting stop loss and always notice each movement of the market. Many people have earned quite an amount of money with a new strategy and being adapted to the new market
