After 1 year of Covid 19 Virus

[Sithara007]

This pandemic has devastated the economy in my country, many companies have cut staff and very few job positions, costing me a whole year to be unemployed. I really didn't expect much from the vaccine they reported, less than a year they claimed their vaccine was effective but in fact the number of victims continues to increase. but I think this vaccine will improve and give society time to take care of our health. It is essential in most countries, otherwise it would be extremely difficult. about I've personally never been infected with this virus, looks like I'm a lucky man.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your job. Even among my friend circle, there are a couple of guys who lost their jobs due to the economic downturn. The vaccine has resulted in a decrease in the number of deaths from the virus, but the number of total infections remain more or less the same. I don't know which vaccine is used in your country, but it looks as if the efficacy of most vaccines decrease over time. Here in India, we are mostly using AstraZeneca, but a lot of people got infected even after that.

I don't know much about where you live, but trusting the government is necessary because I see that people's awareness is really a challenge to prevent and reduce the spread of the disease. Most people only become more conscious when they see a lot of people die and by than things are too serious, for example in India or Southeast Asian countries is the most obvious.
I think the epidemic will last a long time if there is no specific method to prevent it, and the current solutions take a long time to recover.

The government can't be trusted in case they have a history of lying. Take the example of India, during the second wave (April-May 2021). According to the official sources, less than 200,000 died during this period. But the real death toll is expected to be at least 20 times this number. Then the government created issues for vaccination as well. They refused to provide approval to import vaccines from abroad. Sputnik V got the approval after months of lobbying, but the government has put unnecessary obstacles related to quality checks. Media claim that this was done in order to favor the less effective local vaccine (COVAXIN).

Government is the first instance that makes things worse in their own country. Their decisions are not only illogical, but absurd.

Specifically on the topic. Our country right now has a growing number of cases. Thanks God the number of deaths remains on the same level. (if it is appropriate to say like that). Number of cases is identical to previous year, when the decision to start a lockdown and impose a curfew was accepted. Government is not making any actions. I can make a conclusion, that previous year lockdown and curfew were useless, or vaccine isnt helping or working. Btw, government proudly announced, that more than 50% of population are vaccinated.

Ain’t happy on how our local government is handling the crisis right now. As the elections comes soon, so as the deadline of voter’s registration. What I am really pissed off these days is the fact that the Commission of Elections and the authorities in our city have failed to control the people falling in line.

It’s totally out of control where it’s like mass gathering. The police are not enforcing social distancing to those who are lining up for registration as what I have seen in the social media. They don’t even have thermal scanners I believe. This is why our daily COVID-19 cases aren’t that good this time.

I am fully vaccinated with Moderna, but I choose not to risk myself falling in line there coz’ I could still catch the virus and get quarantined even with lesser risk of getting a severe condition. It would be better if they have an online registration system than waiting for hours falling in line just to register.

I’m planning to work overseas as soon as possible since the requirements for fully vaccinated people are lessened. To be honest, I am kinda bored and a little bit of depressed of my daily routine here since the pandemic began.

In a couple of months it will be 2 years and I bet ya things have changed in this side of my world. Yes, the vaccines are here but folks are reluctant to get it. Truth be told a lot of persons have died however not as predicted by health organizations all over the world. Over here, we have become, more health conscious and more empathetic towards one another because of the negative economic impacts of the virus.

Yes,in fact ,in 1 year we survived,
But almost half of the coming business in every country,they lost there financial to manipulate there business.In one year,In one year ,still hard to recover that day ,they announced that covid is real  danger and more focus to.maintain healthy living so can ,protect pur ownself

It will be wrong to say that lockdowns and other safety protocols are useless. Such measures in 2020 saved a lot of lives, slowed down the pandemic and gave more time for the medical professionals to respond to the pandemic. But now, since most of the population is vaccinated (at least those who want to get vaccinated are able to do so), the governments don't need to coerce the population with lockdowns. Everyone is aware of the risks outside and based on their requirement and analysis, they can make their own decisions.

That's still a personal view, and we can't understand the common interests in that.
If everything is really as you say then the main problem is ours, instead of blaming others when the problem is too obvious, we all understand it's dangerous until too many people die.  Personally, I still think it is more helpful to raise awareness as a whole group than individuals trying to do it their own way, and in the case of India I only know that they have had a lot of people killed That is due to many reasons.

Such measures a effective, if they are followed by everyone. In my country this measure were not followed by everyone. Some people were even angry because "they are not fond of being restricted from doing what ever they want". Frankly, our restrictions were quite stupid. 10-14 days lockdown was for all people that came from abroad, and we had 22:00 - 06:00 curfew. This curfew looks specially useless. As if a night we have more people that dont follow social distancing, than at the day.

If there is a curfew, then it needs to be implemented continuously. In my country also, there were some states imposing night curfew. I don't understand the point in doing that. Hardly anyone come out during the night time and the chances of spreading the virus is very low during this time. So what is the point in coming up with a curfew? The so called "experts" have been proved wrong multiple times during this pandemic. First it was the WHO making all sort of blunders, then it was the national advisors coming up with stupid theories such as "herd immunity".

Covid makes it difficult for everyone, in my country there is often a lockdown that makes the economy stop, many companies are closed so unemployment continues to grow, the presence of a vaccine has not been able to overcome covid, I'm afraid if this is not finished this year there will be bigger economic problems.

always hope for the best so that this covid can end soon, all we can do is follow the right health protocols and pray that God will work to solve this problem.
because every time new variants always appear so that vaccines must continue to be developed because it is feared that no benefits can occur from the results of the vaccine. we hope that not only vaccines continue to grow but soon there will be drugs created.

it is clear that if the health protocol is implemented, there is no other way to stop activities whose intensity is very active, such as malls, factories, etc., temporarily stopped. obviously resulted in many having to stop their operations and unemployment and the government also could not receive the tax proceeds. it is certain that the economy is disrupted, the government cannot receive taxes but has to pay quite high costs for health.

With every passing day, it is becoming clear that vaccines have only limited efficacy against the COVID 19 virus. Countries like the UAE, Portugal, Spain and Singapore have vaccinated almost all of their adult population (~100% coverage). But all these countries are reporting large spike in new infections and deaths from COVID 19. The perfect example is that of the United States. 55% of the population fully vaccinated, and yet they are reporting ~2,000 deaths per day now. They haven't given a breakdown of how many of these deaths are among the fully vaccinated people, and that makes me even more suspicious.
