Covid virus 2021

[iamsheikhadil]

Truly, all we can do is to pray and have hope in God and our "politicians" that they don't play the same dictatorship card they played last year. It still gives me chills to the spine when I remember of being caged due to covid and it felt horrible since it expanded for months. But, as we know about psychology, once we know how an abnormal situation becomes normal, we are less likely to be traumatized by it again, because we have seen the end of it once, and I'm sure we won't feel that much trauma if we have to go through (God forbids) such situations again!

Anyone who was traumatized by the lockdown is being overly dramatic. And if you're "traumatized" by that more than millions of people dying from the pandemic then your priorities are off.  The governments should have compensated people more for being in lockdown to ease the financial burdens, but that in no way excuses the conservative opposition to the actions needed to get the virus under control and stop transmission and mutation that's going to prolong the pandemic and kill millions of more people.

the most painful thing was when I couldn't go back to my hometown. last year's eid al-fitr was the worst of my life. I agree with you that this pandemic is capable of making anything abnormal become normal. maybe some people will continue to think this abnormal is something normal...

Festivals are turning out to be super-spreader events and you need to avoid it. Here in India, the second wave started after the Holi festival. Before that we were having on average less than 10,000 new cases per day. And yesterday 260,000 new cases were reported in India (despite some states not reporting their numbers because Sunday is a holiday). Festivals can be celebrated next year as well. So for the greater good, I would suggest everyone to skip these festivals this year.

The conservatives were also responsible for some extent, but it will be wrong to put all the blame on one section of the society. When the pandemic was first reported in China, the WHO initially claimed that human-to-human transition is not possible and there is no need to suspend air travel from China. If the air travel was suspended immediately, then in all probability the pandemic would have got contained in a matter of months. The country that got affected after China was Italy, where travelers from China were responsible for the spread of COVID 19.

What will happen to us and to our economy?
Do you think this virus will not stop?
What about in your Country?

I think now, much better to stay at home and focus on crypto rather than trying to find another job which is very impossible at this moment.

While there is covid, our country can't be back to normal. There will always be social distancing, there will always be threat. We can help stop this virus even though there is still no sure cure to this if we maintain cleanliness, wear facemask and ofcourse social distancing. In the country I belong, I say there are people who does not follow the protocols. Yes some frontliners and Government employees who are already vaccinated but people who are not vaccinated are still greater in number so positive cases will not slowdown that easy.

Agreed with all this. But do you know that CoVID 19 is less dangerous in countries that have a low level of personal hygiene? Some of the experts are saying that the mortality rate from CoVID 19 is much lower in India and the South Asian nations, because the hygiene levels are low and the population has almost constant exposure to flu-virus. However the second wave of the pandemic is affecting these countries as well. Still the mortality rate in India is around 1%, while that in Latin America is almost three times that.

Right here in the Philippines, there are still people who can't live without mass gatherings. So all they have to do is to conduct secret or private mass gatherings like birthday parties, seminars, business meetings and so on. I have seen them doing that, as they choose their own personal happiness than the crisis that we're in. They just don't mind about the virus, thinking that they are so complacent that they don't get it despite the mass gathering.

[darewaller]

Unfortunately not every nation has their own vaccine, which means they get their hands on any vaccination they could get, and it is not easy because not only it costs insane amount of money when you are buying two for each citizen, but there is also a limit, nations who produce it haven't really done it to all of their own citizens so how could they start selling to other nations. Sure there are a bit, but don't expect Pfizer to start selling 100 million dozes every day, or Biontech to be 100 million sold overseas a day, those are not possible just now.

I still believe that we are doing better than expected, I was fearing it will get worse and worse and worse, but by the looks of it vaccination really helped, and all we need is time, it is going to be bad few more months, but I believe start of 2022 will be period when we are finally mask free and going out without worry (hopefully of course, I am not a doctor so I am just guessing).

The covid virus still exists in several countries, most countries are still quite overwhelmed by this virus, more and more new variants have emerged of this virus, some say this new variant virus is able to attack the digestive system which damages the body's organs.  But even so, some people think that Covid is a flu disease so they think this virus has been around for a long time, and now they are not too panicked so they can live life as usual.  However, the existence of Covid does not actually have an impact on public health but is very damaging to the economic system of a country.

There is no single reason behind the reduction of coronary infections A number of issues have played a role there, it must be said vaccination is not the only reason because a very little part of the world as a population has been vaccinated so far the fact that social distance and hygiene rules have worked in some countries is well proven. In some countries hard immunity or mass resistance against corona is also being created in the United States and Brazil for example a significant portion of the population is already infected with corona a large part of them may not have come under the test.

[Sithara007]

In my country many people change their job to online business to survive during pandemic. Many people also not yet vaccinate and they scare about the effect of vaccine because many news around the world about the symptoms of being vaccinated. Today many business are closed, some cities are lockdown and people suffered a lot. Hopefully this will end so we can live a normal life again.

Even in my state, less than 50% of those who are eligible for vaccination has received at least one dose. There is a lot of propaganda going on against the vaccines, both in mainstream media and the social media. They are mostly bein spread by the opposition parties. And this has resulted in large number of new infections among those who are not vaccinated and additional deaths. A few cases have been reported among those who have undergone vaccination as well, but such incidents are like exceptions.

[Vishnu.Reang]

they think this virus will always exist as long as there is no vaccine that can really break the chain of spread of this virus.  They are certainly tired of living with all the limitations set by the government so that many ignore health protocols, but even so this virus cannot be underestimated, it can be infected by everyone without any indication symptoms.  Even so, everyone certainly needs a normal life as usual and must be able to fight this virus, but don't panic and stress too much in the face of this pandemic because someone's mindset can certainly turn things around to face this pandemic.

During the initial phases no one took the virus seriously and that is the reason why we are in such bad state now. When the vaccine production began, many of the countries initially refused to enter in to production agreements. So the manufacturers scaled down their plans to produce large number of doses. After the second wave, there was a dip in the number of infections and many of the countries around the world thought that the pandemic was coming to an end.

I think COVID-19 in 2021 people are getting used to this virus, because we have been dealing with COVID-19 for more than a year.
So, indirectly, many people have started to understand this virus, it is very different when in 2020 panic occurs everywhere. Even in
my country people are no longer afraid of this virus, because there have been so many violations of health protocols in my country.
It seems like many people are getting tired of facing COVID-19, in the end they seem to underestimate COVID-19. And this is what
makes the spread of the virus uncontrollable, this is what makes me sad. We should continue to fight against COVID-19 by complying
with health protocols, and waiting for new vaccines more effective to be found.

If conditions remain the same as this, I think one day there will be natural selection, where the strong will survive. because we know a lot of people ignore health protocols. Moreover, human needs run continuously, so health protocols are very necessary as long as we interact with other people, and in other places

It is not the "strong" who are surviving. Those who can afford the vaccinations are surviving. Richer nations such as the US and the UK have vaccinated more than half of their population and there the death rate has decreased. On the other hand, more and more people are dying in poorer nations such as Brazil and India. So it is not the "strong" who are surviving, but the "rich". And then a disproportionate number of deaths would be among those idiots who refuse to obey social distancing and mask wearing protocols.

[DrBeer]

As for me, the most realistic forecast is from 3 to 7-10 years, the following will happen:
- contamination of the rest of the population
- the appearance of mutations
- attempts to "catch up" mutations with new vaccines
- vaccination of 50%-75% or more of the world's population
- the formation of partial natural immunity in humans
- the emergence of not a vaccine, but drugs that will treat the sick
- a drop in infection rates and, of course, the death rate from Covid
- It is possible to transform Covid19 from a pandemic virus into an analogue of "seasonal" with comparable rates of morbidity and mortality with "classic" seasonal diseases

I'm still afraid of vaccinations, about the news about the symptoms after being vaccinated. and in my country some people don't believe in corona. they are doing their usual activities, even though the economy is not as stable now

If you still have a problem with vaccination, then nothing can be done about it. More than 1 billion people have been vaccinated till now (either completely with two doses, or partially with one dose). If what these anti-vaxxers were claiming was even remotely true, then our streets and pavements should be full of dead bodies. In my country, we are using two different types of vaccine (Covishield from Oxford/AstraZeneca and Covaxin from Bharat Biotech), with the third one (Sputnik V) to be available later this month. Out of the 124 million doses administered here, less than 0.01% have reported any adverse reaction.

The virus has drained the world economy. Even vaccines cannot contain disease well because the variants have evolved into other forms. I found that European and American countries are less capable of controlling the disease than Asia, although Asia has a higher population density and is underdeveloped in terms of economy and technology.

Asian countries have adopted technology to control the disease through the use of mobile apps, camera systems, and tracking of infected people combined with isolating infected people.
Countries need to take action to end the epidemic to get economic activity back to normal.

Cash flow is freer now because they are unable to invest in real business due to the epidemic. Cryptocurrencies will be a more vibrant and accessible environment than stocks or Forex.

[Spaffin]

and nevertheless, we come to the conclusion that the only distributor of coronavirus in every country is a person. it is because of low discipline and low social responsibility that the behavior of many people threatens the lives of others. of course, we blame the government for the bad economic situation, but only by tough measures the government can tame the disobedient people.
