This is something many people cannot afford to do people needs to go to work, they need a livelihood and they have business to run, governments cannot continue giving dole out many economies are open now they do not have a luxury to choose their option, they have to do it, as long as their citizens is following the health protocols people can make a living.

This is certainly true. Covid19 has demonstrated quite clearly that most governments value their economy above the health and wellbeing of their citizens. Lockdowns were implemented too late, and are being lifted too early. In the UK, the government has re-opened schools based on some disingenuous reasoning that Covid19 doesn't affect children very badly... omitting of course the fact that the children will carry the virus back home and infect their more vulnerable parents/grandparents etc. Also they are pushing for office workers to stop working remotely and return to offices, in order that businesses that rely on city centre foot traffic can make some profit... despite the fact that this will cause the virus to spread more rapidly.

Individual people must act responsibly, yes... but often this means going against the irresponsible government advice.

Prospective things may looks different and better but what this pandemic has created is that it had taken life of millions in process which is the worst thing, because check with the families who have lost people due to covid directly or indirectly as other reason is starvation, loss of jobs or businesses being shut and due to stress either people can commit suicide or heart attack etc. How will this people recover from the loss of their loved ones?

Millions of death, economy falling and other things happening, how is this a blessing for you?

Good things may happen in your perspective but as a whole, our world has it rough, and then the pandemic hits. Millions of lives are taken, countries are pointing fingers, people are blaming the government, a lot of things happening. People are now realizing how powerless they can be when it comes to these times. Let's continue to be positive and face this all.

Covid-19 is a problem, but you know what's the biggest problem? The government taking advantage of the situation. The national healthcare insurance in my country
orchestrated the biggest robbery by creating a Covid fund package for the patients that came out positive with the virus, then fake everything. Patients who died that were suspected to have Covid through several symptoms without the confirmatory test results were buried or cremated immediately and considered as Covid related death (healthcare insurance covered). That's what you call a nightmare, worse than the falling economy. Imagine yourself in these people's shoe, your parents/siblings/relatives died just before the confirmatory test result came out, then got buried immediately. Then turned out to be negative with virus on the latter.

Blessing in disguise? I see nothing of the sorts tbh. I only saw this as hastening whatever doom that was supposed to happen in the next few years. Yes, viewing something as positive instead of negative may bring more life into us, but let us not face away from the harsh reality now shall we? Reality is the painful truth we must always accept, and basically there's nothing we can do about it.

Also, if staying at home were the solution to everything, people would've done so in the first place. Sadly, it isn't a solution, it's more like a paper or tape that was plastered over a broken glass that's filled with water, it's a temporary solution so that those that have the power to create a reliable solution have the time to do so. Sadly, it wasn't really a success. Responsibility to not go out? But it's also their responsibility to feed their family no? To support their family? Life IS important to them, and that's why they're leaving their houses to work, to take responsibility for the lives of theirs as well as their family.

I cannot agree that this situation is a kind of blessing in disguise. Sure, there is always something good that comes out of everything including a pandemic which affects almost all facets of our lives. However, it is obvious that the cons of this pandemic highly outweigh the pros.

This situation, of course, takes us a few steps back and gives us a wider view of the world's affairs. We will definitely learn lessons from this, or else everything, including all the deaths and fallen economies, will be for nothing.

Finally, the yearning for life will definitely defeat the fear of getting infected especially in the long run. People will have to go out from their houses and look for livelihood. As much as they would want to just keep away from mingling with other people and possibly making contact with the virus, most of us are left with no choice but to take the risk and provide food on the table.

It is not a simple as you wish it to be. Preventing people from working can lead to poverty and starvation, and ultimately death.

Corona virus knows no boundaries and damaged every religion, class, clan and society. But, this is high time for all of us to work together on things that didn't worked as properly as it should be. We should revive our economy and make our educational and health sector best because they are pillar of any developed nations.

What had the greatest values, has become valueless. The booming travel industry is only beneficial for globalization but for connectedness as well. However, pandemics successfully wiped out all this. history post-COVID-19 will distinguish and countries that weather they considered this as pause or recessed the society in which they always wanted live. Newzealand and Taiwan will be remembered as how they bought their people out of this deadly pandemic and place their lives on top. coronavirus hs adverse effect on everyone. however, considering this situation or blessing in disguise would be a better option rather than considering it as a nightmare. this situation can be an opportunity to reaccess societies and nations.
COVID-19 cases have been increasing. the government wanted to normalize the life of daily wagers and economy, therefore, it decided to ease lockdown and kept the economy before a life of people. the death of the main earner of the house sends remaining people of house in difficulties for a full generation. After lockdown has eased people venture into markets as if their life is no more important to them. in these hard times strict lockdown and provide aid to poor people but it is also the responsibility of each and every person of this nation to limit their desire of going out for some time, stay at home and follow government instruction.
