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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Because if someone sold it, it means that someone bought it from him. Everything in this world is interconnected and the presence of one implies the presence of the other. In principle, the COVID19 epidemic has clearly illustrated the situation when some people become even poorer and others even richer. Someone was forced to sell off the last savings, including bitcoins, and someone was able to buy all this and make good money already with the economic recovery and the rise in the bitcoin price rate. However, the main reason for the rise in the price of bitcoin is the measures of financial stimulation of the economy, when funds do not always come to those in need, and also splash out on other markets such as the stock market.

I think that Covid not advanced the world into the future; it irrevocably changed it in many areas and leaved a lot of people without work and money. Restaurant business, small business, big aviation and public transportations really had suffered greatly from lockdowns caused by Covid-19. Moreover, we had faced the degradation of our children, who had to sit at home and had on line education. Most of them learnt nothing especially young children in primary school and university students. They definitely loved this more than year vacations but had lost the whole year of education.

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.

Quote

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

I remember the first few weeks of Covid and the amount of traffic dropping off almost entirely. It was a really noticeable change in air quality all around and the amount of noise plummeted - that was quite an amazing experience, even if it meant having movement restricted to the local area. It would have had all sorts of other hidden societal benefits as well, like pushing people into exercise as an activity to keep the mind busy and making it much easier to find drug dealers (one of the few people that were still moving around on the roads at the time to feed to habits of addicts). Now sadly we see traffic levels back to pre-pandemic besides air traffic and nasty side effects like people abandoning dogs that they took on out of "boredom".
