Covid virus 2021

[AicecreaME]

March 2020 when covid virus spread in our country that caused a couple of months of a total lockdown. Many people lost their job and others are now investing in crypto and joining some campaign just to earn money and continue living. Last month of March this year 2021, finally, there are already a vaccine and many Frontliner's are now vaccinated.
But why this time the number of Covid positive in our Country are increasing with new variant of Covid Virus? It seems that this pandemic has no end...There is also another lockdown. It's so sad and difficult!
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.

I assume that you're from Philippines.

The reason why we're still on ECQ after a year and after the vaccine arrived yet there are still surges of COVID-19 cases, it is because of our Government lack of actions, they don't even have a plan on how risk management, like on how to properly solve this case except lockdowns.

Let me explain this, lockdown alone won't solve the problem, because if they are also just going to wait for cure, putting up a lockdown and then letting people go out again doesn't make any sense at all, I meant lockdown won't cure the virus, isn't it? the spreading could be lessen but the point here is to cure the virus. I hope you're catching up.

Well, you might say the vaccine is the only cure for it, sad to say it is not if it the Government did the right thing from the start like putting up a total travel ban like what New Zealand did. They don't and didn't need any vaccine because they know what to do from the beginning, in short they are prepared.

TyIn my country, this time covid attacked severely and the number of deaths is increasing. Vaccines are giving to step by step but the government can not give vaccine majority of the people yet. The government announced lockdown and stop many purposes but affected are increasingly rapidly. So pray to Almighty to escape from this situation.

I think the wealthier countries should be providing for other countries at some point too as most have overbought (the UK bought at least a billion doses for a 66 million population)...

Why would they do that and what are they gonna do about the excess numbers of those vaccines? Maybe they are planning to make a research about it to improve in the future because I think they were planning to make an adjustment if this covid cases would continue to evolve and make a new variant of virus again.

And for OP, I don't know where do you live but I think this lockdown is just a temporary safety measures to stop the prolonged contact of viruses if the numbers of covid cases rise.

I think the lockdown will have consequences for other sectors, especially the country's economy. especially if the export-import is still enforced, I think it is still very risky to spread the virus. I think maintaining public health and changing social behavior can be a solution

I think this is similar to how a currency strength relates to imports and exports? Of so, then yes, a lot of wealthier countries might see exports diminish if people are instead able to buy stuff (temporarily cheaper) from other countries.

Import deficits are generally considered bad for countries and there aren't many that do it (the UAE, Japan and the UK are examples).

Right from time I have always been interested in jobs that are remote, and that’s the kind of job I have been doing all this while. And even when the coronavirus thing started, staying at home wasn’t a new thing to me because I am mostly at home working except days like Saturdays and Sundays that I can have sometime out just to chill and rest and look around, but other days I am just locked up and working lol.

Aside all these, we don’t have any lockdown here in my country, we have been in any since last year that we last we did it, and I think we went for lockdown about six times or so, last year, but this year there haven’t been any, except the month there was some kind of protest.

The new strains of COVID-19 virus is likely much more difficult to contain, especially the efficacy of these vaccines. The old strain is much easier for these vaccines to contain, but not the new strains. The common symptoms of old strain are simply fever, difficulty in breathing and loss of taste and smell. The new strains are somewhat even more challenging because symptoms can be in a form of headache, skin rashes, diarrhea, conjuctivitis, aches and pains, sore throat and discoloration of fingers or toes. It means to say that the nasal swab test is no longer effective.

In the Philippines, we are now averaging around 6,000-10,000+ daily cases (15,000+ is the all-time high in a day) because of the new strain (especially our very own Philippines COVID variant). In the National Capital Region (NCR) Plus, they are now reverted back to ECQ (Enhanced Community Quarantine), the strictest form of quarantine.

In my city, despite that we are under the lowest level of quarantine, our daily case average are rising from zero to single digits, to around 15 to 50 daily cases. Today, we have 50 new cases in the city and it’s not good. It’s because of the new strain of virus, the slow progress and lack of vaccine supply, and the overall complacency of the citizens because of it.

I certainly believe that herd immunity is still a long way to go and I don’t believe the pandemic will be over this year.

^^^^ Virus undergoes mutation, once it is inside the human body. The pandemic is going on for almost one and half years now and so we can expect new strains emerging. And many of these strains will be more contagious and lethal. The largest number of these virus strains have been reported from countries such as Brazil and South Africa, which mismanaged the COVID 19 crisis. Now because of their mismanagement, the entire world is suffering.

And the most worrying aspect is that now Asia is also getting severely impacted. During earlier waves, the most severe impact was restricted to Europe and Americas.

[ipanks]

I think that is because people are bored with the current situations, which so many government regulations prohibit them in the crowd. I heard that the new variant of the Covid virus is more dangerous than the old virus and it can spread fast than before, but I do not know about that. The economy in all countries is trying to rise by applying strict health protocols regulations to reduce the number of infected people from the Covid. I am sure that the virus will stop sooner or later, but we need more patience. The situations in my country almost the same as what happens in the other country. The government and all element trying to work hard for that.

I can relate to those people who invested in crypto again due to pandemic period because of shortage in budget due to salary is not enough. After a year of being inactive from late 2018 to early 2020, I decided to retrieved all the accounts that I can retrieved. Happy to say I did it. It also helped me a lot to save money.

Number of positive cases rises due to government was not that strict on the last few weeks. Many people go out and having fun without following social distancing especially if you're a commuter on a public vehicle, and not wearing the facemask and faceshield properly. Transmission becomes so easy. Even though some were vaccinated, larger number of people as of now does not so we cannot expect that positive cases will not be lessen its number that fast. On the other hand, hello ECQ again I hope this will help to stop the transmission without suffering from hunger especially those family who needs help the most.

Now this is the problem. People are tired of all the lockdown measures (it has been more than a year) and at the same time more dangerous strains have emerged. At least a section of the society would now refuse to obey the restrictions, because everyone is tired of lockdowns and social distancing. And this will make the situation worse. To add insult to injury, only a handful of countries (such as Gibraltar, Bhutan, UK and Israel) have achieved their vaccination targets.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

I think the vaccine will work even if the new virus arrives as long as it's still a coronavirus type. Indeed, the vaccine has been coming but the distribution and the vaccination process need a proccess. Like in my country, there is just few people who has vaccinated.

Also, it is just not about vaccine but our suggestion as well. If our suggestion is bad and we are afraid against corona virus then it will be useless even you have been vaccinated. At least, the vaccine factor will make our suggestion is good so as we can work and can do anything as usual.

The economic situation will change depend us, seriously we need money and we have to work to get money right? But, since pandemic came most companies have decided to dismissed most of their employees and this is what will make the economic situation destroyed.

[South Park]

In the UK, things are slowly starting to open back up again and the death rate is drastically plummeting from vaccine rollouts (with 45% of the adult population being vaccinated afaik).

This will be seen in many more European countries (once their policiians stop commenting on things that they don't have the necessary education to).

Poorer countries may have to wait on receiving vaccines but most of those countries shouldn't have many new cases if they go into lockdown for a few weeks and require people travelling there to be vaccinated (2 doses of the most expensive vaccine are still cheaper than tests - at €30.90).

I think the wealthier countries should be providing for other countries at some point too as most have overbought (the UK bought at least a billion doses for a 66 million population)...

Things are also improving in my country, governments did the right thing by making a priority to vaccinate the people that were at the most risk of getting the virus, now that those people are already receiving their first or second dose then the number of deaths where I live are going down dramatically and this is a good thing as it it will permit the economy to be allowed to function once again and many jobs that were lost could be back as well.

The pandemic seems to be gettting more and more worse in countries with poor health management in consideration with the new variant that seems to be spreading much faster than the first one we had. Since lockdown is taking place once again, expect the worse with your country's economy. It would keep on going down as many company and even small enterprises shut down due to the command of the government. Maybe it will calm the rapid growth of the cases but the consequence would be clearly shown in the economic growth of the country. Amidst having plenty of vaccine all over the world, it is still evident how powerful the virus is, let us keep on hoping that this would come to an end soon.

[jaysabi]

It will definitely stop, reduce or not have any effect on human beings just like any other virus that existed. For example HIV and others were also deadly but with vaccination and drugs for them, they became the new normal like covid-19 is. The vaccine for covid-19 will be improved on as the future come.

I think you may be living around the Europe or other continent that is not Africa because in Africa and Nigeria, there are no emergence for now and no lockdown. The government is just managing existing cases and few newly contacted, and they are vaccinating the people. In Nigeria, the number of deaths from covid-19 is very little compared to number of identified cases.

The difference is HIV is sexually transmitted and therefore fairly hard to contract. Covid-19 is an airborne virus and easy to transmit from person to person. Covid is likely to be like influenza, perpetually in the population now that it's made the jump to humans. It is not likely to be defeated, it mutates too quickly and spreads too easily to be eradicated like smallpox and polio were.

The spread continue to become worse due to some countries lower down their restrictions and also their citizens didn't follow some simple protocols si if people will not listen on advisory then ignore it well expect this figures will climb up since the new variant spreading so fast. Hoping to see the vaccine will fastenly given to the people so that we can possibly have a good immunity to this disease.

This will stay for long time and vaccine is only one way to slow it down. As there are mutations one after another, the vaccine available may not address each variant that will arise. But yes, just like other deadly virus in the past, this will be like endemic to worldwide. And right now, what we can do, is to take care of ourselves as much as we can. In terms of source of income, look for alternative options that can generate you money, like selling items that you don't need, tend your garden. Live minimalistic. Find online jobs or tasks.

I agree. Even though there are already vaccines invented and injected to some people,  Still the virus is still spreading quickly. Given the fact that there is now a new variant of COVID-19. And many people are still not confident with the efficiency rate of the vaccine,, that is why many people are still hesitant to take the vaccine.

Let’s just hope that this pandemic will end and we can go back to our normal life. So our Economy can recover from the damages and people can get back their jobs.

People have been resilient throughout history, some viruses heavily effect the young who might have a bit more strength to fight it off. Covid happens to heavily affect those over 60 years old. We're into the second year now of living with Covid and some say it may even have been circulating around October 2019. The speed with which multiple vaccines has been produced is a great thing and will really help the world get back to normal - it's just the gearing up needed to protect 7.5+ billion people is huge. Bill Gates has been talking about viruses for many years and clearly stated they were the biggest impending threat to humanity, shame he didn't take a bit more action to prepare for them with the huge funds his charity sits on. Give it a couple years and everything should be back to normal, hopefully the injuries it causes can be cured through time.

I believe you could find multiple opportunities based on crypto to earn for your living. Because, there are a lot of possible earning opportunities you could find in crypto space which are including trading, mining and article writing. I have seen many people are still hiring for writing about crypto as only very less number of people are aware of crypt space and having good writing skills.

For WFH, crypto must be a right place. By analyzing the current market trend of crypto and how many new people are going to join here because of WFH, I am very much sure that this crypto markets will not find any short-term bearish also unlike how it was in March 2020.

It is wrong to assume that the virus affects only those who are aged 60 and above. The newer strains are proving to be extremely lethal for the younger age groups as well. Brazil is reporting a daily death toll of close to 4,000 and a large part of that is consisted of people in their 30s and 40s. And a large number of young people who have recovered from these new strains have to live with permanent lung damage and other issues.

The Coronavirus epidemic has taken a heavy toll on people around the world, especially students. Educational institutions have been closed for the first year in a row in the history of the country.  Hope to be back to normal soon
