The cases are getting serious in developing countries, and they can't handle it, and shutting down the economy for people to stay indoors is not an option. Imagine when a developing country is on lockdown, it's going to be really difficult for people to feed. And their governments are not ready to render any kind of support; they are only interested in what they are gaining from politics.

Only the rich will be able to survive a situation like that, where there are no jobs and no means for income. Even at these difficult times, some of the rich guys are still cashing in some big money.

Its sad but this is indeed the truth which is really happening nowadays specially into this pandemic situation.We do saw that people are just too hardheaded on following quarantine rules but we can
understand that this is just because that they do need to work to feed up themselves or their family and if they do just decide to stay up into their own home then they wont really die on covid
but they would die in starvation.We have seen the effects when it comes to economic state, this doesnt only affect 1st world countries but also in developing ones so badly.
Shortage would really be there when this situation do last even more longer.

Following the order of the government to lessen the active cases in your country. But if your government isn't capable on handling such pandemic situations then following them will be useless 'cause it'll lead all of you in more suffering. I have noticed that there are countries like Vietnam and Taiwan who handled the situation outstandingly because their government is very competent.

Does bitcoin or any digital currency could help?

I guess this would help people like us to earn profit through investment but it's very risky.
Digital currency could also help by the implementation of a project that could help our front-liners who keeps looking for the vaccine.

answer: Find the cure first before the answers will be pointed because as long as this virus is around?all our effort will never stop the spread.

If our efforts will never stop the spread how come that there are country that already defeated the virus? Not totally defeated but they have been reached the 0 case of covid-19, just for an example the New Zealand and Turkmenistan? Even though we haven't found the vaccine yet, I guess the solution for now is cooperation with the government.

Just follow their orders, our government don't want us to be at risk so they are setting the guidelines for every community. Well for some people that has more than enough they can help other less fortunate people during this time.

It can but it is quite impossible for now, if we are talking about bitcoin being a currency today there is a small chance of it being used these days.

For many people, especially in poor and conflict countries, the risk of dying from hunger is even more threatening than coronavirus. This is where the need for the agricultural sector to sustain food availability in the future. Many countries may have good reserves now, but if the supply chain stops and seeds, fertilizers, and others do not reach farmers or farmers cannot go to the fields, then maybe next year, the country will really lack food, and must prepare strategies to avoid this.

As a result of the pandemic, in the long run, the world will need far more resources to fight hunger, poverty, and low education. In various parts of the world, the most vulnerable people have lost the opportunity to earn income, and day laborers are no longer able to work because of the imposition of restrictions and locking due to this outbreak.

Since there’s still no solution of the current situation we should protect ourselves and our families at all cost. We can help the government by following the protocol and not breaking any rules all they are doing right now is for our own safety. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency could probably help this time, by using it as payment ‘no contact, no virus’.

All you gotta do is follow 3 guidelines, wear face mask and follow social distancing and use sanitizers and there won't be a casuality in your family if you strictly follow these rules. People tend not to follow all these rules outside of their private space and Sir to which they also get infected of this deadly virus. I have been following these rules and also going out on a daily basis to my work place and till now I am save even though the cases in my city are constantly rising.

Food shortage happens around the world even before the pandemic, we have ignored it because its not us but believe me eventually it will happen everywhere in the world. Just because its not here right now doesn't mean it is not happening and when you look at rest of the world there is too many people living in the world that resources are getting more and more scarce while buildings are getting more and more common instead of farms.

When you have a huge land that you can farm and the other option is to build a huge apartment complex that you can rent and make 50x more money you pick the latter, hence why food shortage is not just a short term thing caused by the pandemic but a more permanent thing. Hopefully we will figure how to grow a ton of food in labs very soon so that we could end the poverty and starvation.

You bring an interesting point, food production right now is not as profitable as many other business activities and obviously people are going to choose what brings them the most profits but when it comes to certain industries like food production this is counterproductive as when we need to generate more food we will be unable to do so as fast as we need it, and this could eventually create even bigger food shortages than the ones we are suffering now around the world.

I think that is starting to happen everywhere. Our borders are still closed and there is no way to import any food. Right now the government has plans to give out a no-interest loans to farmers in the country so that they can start growing food, lots of it. I can’t wait to see how that goes. And I’m constantly praying for the virus to be over, it has really affected things in the way that we can’t take it.

It is very difficult to live like this. And economy of most countries keeps falling, we have no other option than to just ease the lockdown and go back to our work. Fortunately I guess the agriculture related works on my country is not getting affected hence I guess there could be less chances for food production falls below the level of scarcity. Still, the food transport might get hit worst as transport related things might get delayed or cancelled which may trigger shortage of foods even in my country.

Because of the continuously cases of covid-19 in many countries that is the reason of shortaging of foods and many establishment and companies are cant operates thats why many economies are really down. Like others said if all people in every countries are need to use the health protocol that is a chance of decreasing the cases of covid-19 in every country.

That's the worst part, right now, we are still having a hard time to recover from this economic downfall. The continuous increase in covid-19 cases make us suffer the most as it also increase the risk of transmission of the virus. People can't go to work and buy food for them to survive, we are now undergoing a recession.

Some people are unable to spend their money just to save it for more important circumstances that's why their is no market movements.

Especially, if people wants to but their basic needs like food. I think that the only way we can stop recession is when the recovery is much more greater than the active cases. That's the time where we can recover and grow our economy again.

As a matter of fact,we are currently experiencing the result of the Covid-19 pandemic through out the world.
There are so many people who are suffering and because most of the people are now unemployed because of many companies either closed or lessen their workers, the lives of the people getting worst.
Lack of foods and other personal necessities.
Lack of finances.
Lack of transportation because of quarantine.
Those are the major problems we are now still facing while the pandemic continue spreading because there is no cure for this virus until now.

The Covid-19 pandemic had greatly affected the global economy. At present, the epidemic in the United States, Britain, India ... has not been controlled and there is a risk of an outbreak. The best way to stabilize the country is to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. The new economy will soon stabilize. I think the cryptocurrency market will also be affected. It takes money to invest or the market will go down.

The only solution to that is to resume the operation of the businesses, especially the big businesses that contributes big money on tax collection of the government, and with enough funds, the government would be able to lend money to small businesses who suffered and give support to those people who are currently unemployed due to the pandemic, slowly the country will recover and also they have to ensure that they are consistent with educating the people about the corona virus and how to prevent themselves from getting infected.

There are many links got broken in the production and supply of food and its related things which would definitely lead to decline on economics for most countries. Moreover, we are still in the beginning phase of pandemic and we are yet to watch and experience the real negative consequences of pandemic if the situation is not getting better world wide at any time soon. Fortunately many countries already started working on lifting lockdown restrictions but resuming back to normal life and usual economy related activities is still a question.

Because, many people got back to their home place/country because of lockdown and no job reasons. While restoring to production state, employers may face difficulties with lack of available resources/manpower; this is the thing exactly happening in my country. I am afraid about scarcity of food in coming days or at least high prices for all things due to low supply.

So that we can help our government, we must take care of ourselves and other people around us. Measures must be taken to protect against the virus in order to stop its spread. I think this virus can only be defeated together. Together we can create conditions for a stable situation and after that it will be possible to implement measures to overcome the crisis. We must support local producers and look for new markets for products. You may have to give up some habitual things.

To be honest, it is really hard to overcome the current situation of the pandemic of the corona virus because even our governments don't know how to take care of it, and they don't know how to deal with people who are starving. Collaborating with our government is one of the good way for us not to suffer for long, even there are a lot of things that we don't want in our government on how they lead because collaborating with them could help to lessen the virus cases and for us not to starve to death.

There is no other way to help our own country but to follow the protocols of our government because in the end, it will be for our own welfare. Bitcoin is not the solution of this problem. We should be more united in this time of pandemic and help one another particularly those poorest of the poor who are mostly affected. And hopefully we can come up with a vaccine in the next days so that this corona virus will now be stopped.

One of the greatest lessons that this pandemic is going to left behind is that we are not as powerful as a society as we thought we were, our technology is impressive and yet something incredibly basic and tiny to the point we cannot even see it with the naked eye has slowed down our society as a whole, the truth is there is not much we can do as there is no solution to this other than finding the vaccine or a therapy effective for those that show the worst symptoms, for the rest that cannot help on that front our goal should be to respect all the sanitary recommendations and if possible to donate some money to those in need.

Boy scout motto "Be prepared!" I think it will be the right time to apply on our daily living during this time of covid-19 pandemic. A one good example of this is, if you have enough space on your home backyard,why you don't try to plant a sweet potatoes,cassava and a different kind of vegetables,i think it could help anyone during the food shortage.

I'm a former scout but this quote doesn't necessarily refer to everyone. Preparing needs a lot of things, savings, and a high-paying job for us to be able to save. When the wage of your work is not enough, more is spent on the bills, so how will they save? How about the people who live in the town, some of the lots don't have backyards and I guess if there's one, those foods How about those people who live in the city, some of the lots don't have backyards, and I guess if there's one, it's not enough to get you out of hunger for how many months. Yes, we always expect that crisis will always occur day by day, but this current crisis is different and it almost takes all of our earnings. It's not just about the savings and preparedness, it's about how you grind to have a good job with good pay rates for you to be able to save.

We can help by pushing Bitcoin payments for online purchases, because Bitcoin is a contact-less payment option, it reduces the chance of people getting infected and if we can reduce physical contact with cash and coins (fiat currencies) then we will win the virus pandemic.

Bitcoin payment is what we need right now, its security and safety towards pandemic is really certain. Digital currency should be the number 1 option of all of the transactions right now, but we all know that not all markets are engaging in that kind of system. Bitcoin should be used in many transaction to reduce the risk of getting the disease from a tangible or paper money. By that, we can help the promotion of bitcoin in just a simple way of using it so that people will see the importance of bitcoin amidst of this pandemic. People right now are only relying on those online shopping where it is less hassle and payment is only done by the use of technology.
