COVID advanced the world into the future

[Sithara007]

During the epidemic, my weight reached the highest weight in my history, and now I am involved in an anxious weight loss exercise.
During the epidemic, my job was also realized at home. Actually I like this state very much. There is no regulation of clocking in to and from get off work, and I can also establish a relationship with my children at home. Moreover, I think the sofa at home is much more comfortable than the office chair. It's just that I don't like the result of weight gain.

LOL.. almost 90% of those who are working from home are facing the same issue. There is no short fix solution, unfortunately. For me, it is not possible to engage in jogging or any other physical activity, because there are too many active COVID cases in the neighborhood. For a while I tried some of the exercises that can be done at home.. but they are really boring and I gave up after a few days. Now this is going to be one of the major side effects from this pandemic - that a lot more people are going to be obese and overweight.

I agree that working from home is ineffective for me. It's like a government employee working from home, but imagine how they do their work at home. That is extremely difficult, and transactions are being held up. I am a government employee as well as a freelancer, and speaking on behalf of government employees, it is somewhat ineffective in terms of work, but it is extremely effective in terms of prevention. However, my main concern is that they are being paid for doing nothing at home. As a freelancer, we are very familiar with this, so it is nothing new to us.

Being an IT engineer, I am working from home for more than one and half years now, and I would say that this is the best thing that has ever happened since I started working. But as you pointed out, certain sections of employees (especially those employed by the government) become arrogant when they work from home. Here in India, even before the pandemic the government employees were behaving as if they are gods. And now since they don't have to go to the office, they have become even more boorish.

I don't like the feeling of working from home. This is very inconsistent with my character. This makes me feel very depressed at home all day. It may not only be at home. Perhaps the severity of the epidemic makes me feel very confused in the future. The new cases added every day make me feel very annoying, and my work efficiency is greatly reduced.

The epidemic has a relatively large impact on Bitcoin. At least, that's what I think. During the epidemic, many people lost their jobs. Because they couldn't make ends meet, they sold the bitcoin they had bought for a long time to make ends meet. Some people bought bitcoin and when bitcoin fell, they did not have enough funds to continue to cover their positions and sell bitcoin.

It is a pandemic because it has affected the world and spread worldwide. Many laid off their jobs and we thought that it will have a significant negative effect on bitcoin.
But it's the other way that surprised us that bitcoin reached its newest ATH during this pandemic.

May look great, but economy-wise, it really isn't, I don't think it actually advanced, I honestly think that Bitcoin could hit its ATH anytime this year, pandemic or not, people will stoon start investing and even companies would start to embrace Bitcoin, it is what it is and it is bound to happen in the future, we just really peaked because of the amount of people who actually lost their jobs because of the pandemic, can't say I'm entirely happy because it did ruin a lot of lives, happy for BTC to reach its ATH but never happy on what's happening with the world today.

I also thought bitcoin will be greatly affected by this unfortunate situation that hit us, but it turned out it will become the way for people to know bitcoin for looking of an alternative way to earn while at home. This pandemic put as in a bad situation indeed, however if we look on the other side there's also positive things that happened. People unite, humanity were restored and bitcoin and alts reach another ath, some of good things that we should focus on.

That's true, the pandemic became the way for the people that still don't know about cryptocurrencies to know about bitcoin and the others. The impact was positive.
And even up to now, the market is still on the good run and this makes a lot of people still attracted to it because of the market's performance is becoming better.

I would disagree. For me, and 90% of the others working from home have been beneficial. And if you say that your work efficiency has reduced, then there may be many reasons for that. And why should anyone feel depressed while working from home? Are you staying alone? I am staying with my family and I haven't faced any such issue. But I agree with you on the pandemic situation. We don't know when this is going to end. Cases are rising despite the progress being made in vaccination and many of the governments are now proceeding with administrating the 3rd (booster) dose.

Offices full of inconveniences as well as noises from different areas really make a lot of work more complicated, besides, time is also uncomfortable and living under pressure from managers, many tasks really cannot be completed on time but based on working from home data, employees become more comfortable with handling as well as warmer in mind when at home. However, the office is a series of departments that work together and complete the big picture, working from home is just the details and it is difficult to put together the whole, discontinuity will occur in this direction, therefore, Covid still needs to be resolved soon

For me, the work from home option is about to end soon. Some of the other offices have already opened, and in my company they have asked some of the priority departments to report to office. I guess my turn will also come in the next couple of months. Here in my country delta strain is still causing a lot of damage. But the government is saying that offices need to open now, since the economy is going down. It has been 18 months since the work from home started, so I can understand this perspective. But still, it is not 100% safe to re-open the offices.

Exercise is very necessary to increase immunity in the body. and boosting immunity in the body is the best way for us to avoid this dangerous virus. This situation should make you more diligent in exercising and adjusting your diet. If you exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet, you may not gain weight even if you work from home.

first you have to start distinguishing epidemic and pandemic because these things are different
and I think it is felt by everyone and indeed the impact when we are at home is a significant increase in weight. especially now with the still circulating ban on going out (lockdown) in several places or countries, it is increasingly becoming an obstacle and a reason to leave the house.

but apart from that there are actually positive and negative sides as well and maybe positive we can get busy and new income from learning about crypto and increasing knowledge by discussing like this but the negative is there is also a small example like what you complain about in maintaining weight

[worldofcoins]

I get the OP's idea about how the pandemic has given positive and negative effects to the world, economy-wise, not every country has the same state, it sucks to live in a third world country knowing the economy is already not looking good making it even worse because of COVID, nurses and doctors would have to work overtime almoat everyday, students and teachers would have to adapt right away with the online setup, it wasn't really that positive unless we'd think about it in a positive way and ignore the fact on how big the damage was actually, and also, not every country are experiencing the same, some are already making progress and some are really in shambles, just like in my own country.

Well, Disregarding the planning behind this covid it really has damaged a lot economy wise in the whole world (Whether there be real covid or not) I don't get out of my house very often, Not because I'm afraid of getting Covid but recently there's some fuss happening in my city.

Nvm that, I don't think things are going to improve but will only get worse for humans and good for Parma Companies.

Pharma companies have benefitted from the pandemic, and there is no doubt regarding it. The Chinese companies have so far sold billions of doses of the Sinovac/Sinopharm vaccines at around $40 per dose, and you can calculate how much they have made out of it. Even Pfizer has made tens of billions of USD in profits from vaccine sales, although their price is around half of that of the Chinese vaccines. Cheaper vaccines are available (AstraZeneca, Sputnik V.etc), but these companies have faced issues in scaling up their production.

Let us agree to look on the bright side and adopt what is currently taking place. I was in a bad situation when the epidemic hit; I lost my job and couldn't leave the house because of our country's regulations, but I was still able to make money online. If I do not adapt to the internet or online, it will be difficult, but you can now go out, though not as easily as before. We should be grateful for what we have because many people are still struggling today.

yes, bitcoin created a new ATH during a pandemic. but I firmly believe that this pandemic has nothing to do with bitcoin creating a new ATH a few months ago. it was just a coincidence as they both happened in the same year. even if this pandemic didn't happen this year of course bitcoin would still create new ATH because this is a bitcoin price cycle.

It's true, after all, exercise is still an important thing for us to do because it has been proven to increase the body's immunity as you said,
The reality is that there are still many people who don't realize the importance of exercise

Nothing we can do but to try what is best to continue to live, looking at the lighter not a brighter
Indeed this pandemic bring more ideas how to maximized the use of the online system.

Learning how to deal with buy and sell, promoting products that was locally made and try not to go out during the time that government advise.

Some of those things that personally we learned that helps us to stay safe but continue surviving from this situations.

The economic impact of COVID-19 has been very clear since the pandemic hit until now. Many lives were lost, many companies closed, incomes decreased, the scope of work narrowed and poverty increased and many people lost their jobs. After almost 2 years of this pandemic, all of us must be able to assess which party will benefit the most and which party will be harmed due to government policies and due to the implementation of the new normal. The demand for goods online is increasing while physical shopping is decreasing and that is the impact of changes in human civilization that want to prevent the transmission of covid 19. I know this is also an advantage when it comes to being online, but being online will not help the whole community to improve their economy either way. Only certain groups of people and entities can profit online, while others may not.

Covid 19 helps the online economy grow, but doesn't help boost the economy of healthcare workers "nurse" who treat patients except for big officials and most of the government. At least that's the opinion of one of my friends who works as a health worker at a hospital not far from where I live. According to his confession, he earns a salary from treating COVID-19 patients and and patients with other diagnoses of $100 to $150 monthly for "non-civil servant" work. I don't think that's a fair enough amount to accept because the risks of the job are huge. I don't know what he thought that he had to put up with such a high-stakes job, but the economic factor and the difficulty of getting a new job were the most likely reason for him in my opinion. I want to hear, is this also happening in your country or where you live?

[Sanugarid]

I think most of us would rather not have had COVID. It has been devastating for many economies and it took a bad toll on people. However it has had some side benefits (some may argue that having Trump removed for now may be one of them, LOL).

I am talking about the digital revolution that was already taking place, yet still had some bumps along the road to occur, and has been forcefully implemented by many companies that required their people to keep on working. I am also talking about the immense number of new influencers and subscription services that had increased their adept several times-fold. All this would have taken ages otherwise.

demand for services that can be performed remotely or provide solutions to the challenges of reduced personal interactions, such as information and communications technology (ICT), and deliveries, has increased significantly. In a span of three months, the pandemic has resulted in a 63 percent reduction in demand for hotels, while increasing demand for ICT by a comparable rate

A source on the matter.

Advance in what way? lots of people lost their respective jobs and barely living as of this moment. Moreover, business establishments was force to close down which results to bad economic condition. If the idea of the future you were talking about is like this, thats too bad and not really good in my opinion

[bussybuddy]

The benefit that I think I get from covid is that it gives me time to sit back and reflect on my current messy life. But it also took away so many other opportunities in life that I intended to take. But it is interesting that people are more interested in crypto when the epidemic breaks out.

I dont know if it is sad or what but it makes you ponder, makes your sadness as your strength. Your life is messy then fix it, how? Discover it while you have time , take risk . I also lost a job and i have a family to feed thats the time the pandemic hits and it makes me ponder that i really spending much money to not important things so now i am starting to got up and hoping that it would be successful soon. Good luck to your life we can do this !

[goldkingcoiner]

Any hardship, no matter how small or large has always been a driving factor for human progress. Wars especially. As far as I can tell, all of human or even animal evolution is based on the simple principle of suffering and finding ways to alleviate that suffering. As far as Covid goes, I think it was a very necessary "drill" so that we can be better prepared for the next virus, which may be much, much deadlier.
