Topic: Our chance to reset (Read 833 times)

Because the citizens and the government are cooperating with each other that's why we see some other country easily beat up the covid-19 and came back to their normal lives. Solutions will never be generalized since not every human being can able to cope the suggestion and possible solution given and the only thing that can save the humanity in this pandemic is the vaccine and hopefully it will be available next year.

I see no blessing in disguise to be treated upon this current situation we are all up to. The concept of that blessing in disguise is just purely throughout an optimistic mindset which not everyone can attain for we are all barely affected by this pandemic. But at some point the OP was right that this pandemic have shown us the weak points that our society must assess after this pandemic have been wiped out already. Each and every nation must improve the health sectors to prevent another devastating event like this to happen that will brought out another crisis to arise.

Being optimistic at times like this would be a great help but only for the mind and it cannot help you to barely survive the situation if you won't act right and just rely and be dependent on what the government can provide. With the implementation of the new normal setup, may the people be disciplined enough to follow the strict protocols while hitting two birds in one stone which is reviving the economy slowly, while taking down the infection rate into control because of the health protocols that must be observed on work places.

Yes some countries don't suffer the covid-19 pandemic as others that have severe consequence like India, US and few others. Like in Africa too except for South Africa that has quite some number of cases, many Africa countries are not having cases plenty of cases as other third world's and some European countries. So I think solutions should not be generalized and route causes of increased cases should be looked at inwards.

Still, too one-sided coverage of the situation for me. A small number of people can afford to stay at home - and even fewer can afford to pay these people a full salary. Knowing how the modern business scheme works for small and medium-sized enterprises, you can confidently understand that even a week of downtime can lead to complete bankruptcy and ruin of the above. Is it bad? Yes, because everything is painful and sad. Is it good? Also Yes! After all, in a stagnant market, something happened that it periodically needs-the dumping of excess and inefficient ballast, the release of new places for newcomers, the shake-up of large companies that suddenly remembered that you can't just live on what you have earned and you need to develop forever.
There are good and bad sides everywhere so now is the time for new beginnings rather than more whining about how bad things are.

Its not only about positivity, it is also about discipline, this pandemic makes us show how well disciplined we are because if you are well disciplined even if you go out often just to feed your family you won't be getting the virus or youre chance of getting it is very low, this is not a chance to reset but a chance to see how very important health is and our health workers as well as health facilities because some government focus more on other things so i hope everyone will take health seriously because no matter how good your country is if its not taking care of focus on its health workers or facilities everything will easily fall apart

Many things trigger why people prioritize the economy rather than their lives, the main problem is indeed financial problems and needs. The governments of several countries have not been able to do their best because the world economy is also affected. To imagine that we can put order in order to break the cycle of the spread of covid, I myself find it very difficult because the downturn economy makes many people have to keep working. I think everyone also wants to stay at home doing nothing, the problem is if we do that then we will find it difficult to fulfill our needs.

Positivity could keep us going forward and fighting the situation we are in but it's very difficult. We can't compare each other's situation because we are in a different country that has a different perspective and approach to the pandemic. Here in our country, many are just keep going forward but some are struggling because they can't manage themselves due to poverty.

This pandemic has taken a lot of things and already destroyed a lot of people, mentally and physically. Even if we keep going forward, our time will come as long as the pandemic are still ongoing. This isn't our chance to reset, this the chance for another development to grow and be ready for another pandemic in the future.

It is hard for a lot of people, a lot of people are sturggling, most of them are risking theirselves right now just to keep a food in the table for the family but I think looking for something positive in this pandemic really helps people. I know that it might not be agreeable for most of us but with a lot of things happening right now, positivity could keep us going forward.

That fast recovery like always came from governments printing a lot of money and using it to push the markets upwards, but this cannot last long, there is a very clear divergence between the economy in general and the stock market, the economy is suffering and yet the stock markets recovered to their previous levels and this does not make sense, sooner or later it will be impossible to hide the real costs of the pandemic and the stock market will crash for good this time creating an even bigger crisis in the process.

These viruses have disrupted our lives as human beings and caused us to live with stress all the time. That is why life is out of our normal routine and our health is facing threats and problems in the yard and the only solution is to follow the tips It is safety.

It will take long for us to survive from this pandemic and the recession because many people are worried about what will happen to them in the next few days that most of them are jobless or no any source of income. It is the reason why other countries are having huge debts, so they could just provide their citizen needs, but it is still not enough.

But unfortunately, the government instructions includes palliative supply to the masses and needy but this promises don't get to the poor and needy masses as the support are hijacked in most cases by government machineries. This is a situation that makes this covid-19 times difficult to bear.

This pandemic has taken a lot from us, from our normal lives, jobs, economic shutdown and feels like we’re all lab rats observed for an experiment. In reality the lockdowns did not ease the situation government just burned the cash for nothing, the evidence is the rising numbers of affected by the virus and highest unemployment rate. The big problems created channels of problem, now the government not only focus on  pandemic but also reviving the dying economy.

We can’t get out of this mess, we have to deal with it and the government can’t save us from this. Its the best time to exercise our responsibilities and become self sufficient.

Wasn't OP accused of being an actual AI program/thing?  I don't know if that's true or not, nor if the sentiments he's expressed are genuine, but I sure as hell don't think anything related to COVID-19 has been a blessing. 

Personally I haven't had my life severely disrupted by the pandemic, but I know that's not the case with a lot of folks--and you can certainly include in that list the ones that died from COVID-19.  Everything has been disrupted in one form or another in pretty much everyone's lives.  Wearing face masks, keeping distance from people, not being able to go to work, etc.  All of that sucks, and I don't see any silver lining in all of it.

Strangely enough the stock market doesn't seem to have been negatively impacted, except during the first few weeks of the outbreak when no one was sure how severe it was going to be.  Maybe that's a positive thing; there are probably quite a few people who've made some money trading stocks (and bitcoin/metals/other things).  But that's cold comfort in my mind.

This is the thing, the losses we suffered due to the pandemic cannot be recovered in a matter of months it is going to take years for things to go back to normal and it is fair to question us if things will ever go back to normal because there is always the possibility the vaccine gets delayed or we face another wave of the pandemic during this winter, and if that is the case I do not know if the economy can endure it because the recovery we have seen in the stock market is a fake one thanks to all the money it was printed by governments all over the world.

Since the onset of the global epidemic many people have lost their jobs and many businesses have been shut down. Even the lucky ones who have survived in any profession have changed their style of work completely. it will take a long time to reset the damage done by the whole poison cannot be recovered in one day. Although the lockdown has stopped everything people are now more inclined towards online work many are also making a living by improving the agricultural sector.

In truth, Coronavirus have changed the way we have been living. It came to show us that some of the things we thought were dependent on our survival were mostly things we can do without. A family where they believed they are not complete without annual vacation now understand that it was purely luxury to do. All of the inter-country travels for trainings or business propositions at the early stage can even be done from the comfort of your room. So, yes, it's a reset for everyone.

All i can say here is that, i found out the true colors of every individual especially those highest leaders in our country down to the bottom. This pandemic is a total devastation and it showed clearly the good and bad side of the people especially the Government, in aiding those starving individuals and those who suffered from all the losses.
I can see how political issues interfered in this crisis and the worst is the unending corruption that made all the people suffer. It may brought blessings to others who keep on seeking for alternative earning points, but somehow the worst scenario is beyond words to tell. The most affected with this crisis are the poorest of the poor and the smaller businesses that had been closed until now and didn't get any assistance from the Government. Its the sad truth here in my Country.

In some countries, corruption has become an open secret that many people understand, even many corruptors in my country, who do not seem ashamed to be caught because they consider corruption in government to be a systemic and general thing. All of this started with money politics which caused the high cost of winning elections.

Campaign funding practices, both revenue and expenditure, which create corrupt relationships between donors and the political parties or candidates they support as well as corrupt behavior patterns that occur between election participants and voters. It is feared that the long-term impact is that the post-election government, which is tinged with money politics, will be trapped in a circle of corruption. Voters must continue to be given explanations and knowledge about the dangers of money politics and its impact on strengthening corruption. This knowledge is important to present voter awareness. Although not easy, these educational and socialization steps are important, not only by election organizers, but also by the media, civil society, and election participants themselves.

That's thoughtful of you, the lockdown period was actually a good time to put many things in order in many countries, serious government would have seen it as opportunity to repair their roads since most people are indoor, the distorted education setting can be adjusted, most banks and company who laid the staffs off would have increased their digital effects, even the weather change would call for an advanced way out in agriculture A lot of adjustment and rehabilitations for a balance should have been taken in advantage of the lock down

I also see the Covid-19 situation as largely contrived. The coronavirus is not as bad as our governments are telling us. For the first time, almost all governments have united and, under the pretext of fighting the coronavirus pandemic, are severely restricting people's rights to work, movement and others. The level of the economy of states is falling sharply, the population of countries is becoming impoverished, only the top is getting rich on this.
People actually die from other diseases, but in the end, doctors are forced to indicate that death was due to coronavirus. I consider the situation with the coronavirus to be artificially inflated.

Yes, because it is hard to prove if the officials confirmed to steal the funds because the other officials can get bribed from the corrupt officials. That is why we have seen many corrupt officials still get around free in their country because there is not enough proof to caught them. But I am still sure that some officials can be honest to guard the funds, and they will distribute the funds to the people. No matter what, they don't want to corrupt like the other officials.

I consider your words as cheerish and positive since you've said to stay at home - its all good, yet there is one but to your message.
You imply that government pushed people to sort of trade their life by working despite covid danger, you should really understand how delusional statement is.
People would've start to work no matter what govs would tell them to do anyway, because everyone needs to eat or feed family, but not anyone can afford to do it with working from home.
Basically, people were dying even during the lockdown, but they also were losing a lot of money meanwhile.
Since we didn't see the covid to stop in any nearest time its purely logical to start working again if you know its a matter of time before you will catch the virus yourself.
Government simply got rid of boundaries so people wouldn't be punished for something they just have to do.

reset in what way? do we have to wait for this Pandemic to end? even though we know this Pandemic does not know when it will end. so we have to create new habits as soon as possible. As a result of this Pandemic, many have lost their jobs and many new jobs have made it difficult for others and benefited some. example: health test, Rapid test, swap test. which is burdensome because it  must pay

That is by far one of the biggest problems, a pandemic is going to be very bad no matter what we do but if to that we add bad decisions then things get even worse and to be honest no one save themselves when it comes to this, even the WHO will say one day something then contradict themselves the next day and then correct themselves on the following day, so people got confused about what were the best things to do to combat the pandemic and without a doubt those mistakes cost lives that could have been saved otherwise.

I don't think this pandemic is a blessing in diguise. This happened because of negligence of the authorities from which country it originated. So, no sweetie, it's not something to be celebrated nor be thankful for.

This pandemic brought so much hardship to each of us. As a privileged citizen, the situation is difficult for me to handle. With all the restrictions made, increase in unemployment rate, limited source of income, you name it. How much more the struggles of the less fortunates? It's a very terrifying nightmare, to the point some people never wish to wake up anymore.

The advantages of this pandemic only lies to those who are in the upper bracket of the society. It's always in their favor and not to the average and lower class. The rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer. It's so obvious that the adverse effects outweighs the positive ones.

Get off your high horse. It's not easy as you think it is. Not everyone has the same resources, opportunities, and background. Millions have died in contacting the deadly virus. Right now, many people are dying globally because of poor health services offered to those who can't afford nice healthcare. There are lots of people starving and struggling to put food on their stomach. Majority are unemployed and can barely make a living.

I hope you'll be more careful to your choice of words next time. I know you're just stating that it's possible for an economy to grow despite what happened. But always be sensitive to the people around you.

yess that was very sad..hoping, wishing and praying that this pandemic ends as it affects alot... income and economy were fown... life of every infected were also put in danger.. level of education  might be sacrifice.. and huge number of unexpected oregnancy will  contribute to the population.

This is really happening mostly people learn their lessons and more realization occurs during this pandemic. Also a lot of people are jobless during this crisis. And during this time we could rest and always hope for the best that this virus will end.

It's not their fault if people have a choice they will want to just stay at home with their family to avoid the risk of getting infected, but what can they do, they need to work because the government cannot subsidize people anymore, third world countries cannot subsidize majority of their people, the government has no option but to open the economy to avoid bankruptcy and lack of funds, they can still follow the protocol but they need to work.

Many people have, learnt lesson from this pandemic. many countries are now giving their economy standard foundation that will make them not to remember the infect the covid-19 has caused them.
But I feel for some country that covid-19 cases is still increasing despite the solution on ground, many has loss their job, economy is shaking because they put all their hope on government,not knowing that crypto currency can add value to their economy.

are you sure so?I am not sure whether the government is not corrupting the budgeted health funds, some countries in Southeast Asia or even the whole world may not have completely clean and non-corrupt governments.
they will take advantage of what is there and act as if nothing happened.

I am not sure about the government to steal the funds from healthcare insurance because that means, they will betray the people who are suffering because of the virus. But I heard that the funds for the people are not yet fully distributed to people who needed because they need time to do that. If the officials have been proven to steal the funds, they need to be punished and get in jail. That is a form of corruption in this pandemic, and the law needs to abide.

There are certain sectors that can't be stopped and for those that have been stopped, they can return gradually. As I can see, many are turning back their lives to normal and so are the economy. The race for the vaccine in the hope to get completely back to the normal.

After the pandemic and once they've been proven to be corrupting the funds allocated for the fight of this pandemic, they will be sued if the government is serious of fighting corruption into their administrations.

IMO, that is the main problem.

We are in a pandemic, it is true that the virus is a problem but with a bad leadership, with bad decisions of the government, the situation in hand is getting worse, then we also have corruption. If they know what to do in these times, the people would never suffer like these, but let's not forget that there are also those people that are not following the protocols.

As I can see and notice for what happened now this pandemic, We all know that Covid-19 is the main problem of each country that has been affected by this virus, but to be honest in my own little way the is bigger than a problem with this COVID, and that is some officials in the government takes advantage of this pandemic to steal the funds coming from the healthcare insurance. These must be punish were no one is above the law for every nation.

Some governments are very stupid and useless to be sincere, and it can be quite annoying. I believe that the two countries, New Zealand and Taiwan, you have mentioned were able to evade the coronavirus by shutting down their borders earlier before it started spreading.

My country's government would have done the same thing by shutting down our borders and not letting any other people in, but they kept the border even after a few cases were discovered in the country they still left it open. They only shut down borders when we had about fifty cases and those cases has also been in contact with so many other people in the country. It was really annoying.

Most of the countries at the moment are experiencing downfall of economies due to this corona virus pandemic and definitely this is not a blessing in disguise. How can this be a blessing if all the citizens are struggling to provide foods on their table risking their own lives just to survive. But despite of all these struggles, we know we should still be more positive in dealing our own lives and still get going so we can continie to lives our lives normally.

Pandemic has a good and bad impact. Maybe Blessing in disguise for the nature which lessen the pollution but it is a Nightmare for every person that was affected too much by this covid 19 and kills a lot of people. Lossing a love ones is not a blessing, if you know the pain it will cause,you can not say that this pandemic is a blessing in disguise. Almost a huge number of people is difficult to get up immediately from falling due to covid 19 as well as the economy.

With economic point of view, only countries who are having large number of pharmaceutical sectors and biotech parks will be ahead of all in the race. This will form the backbone of country in no time since they are the only businesses which are running these days. Pandemic has given them bonus point.

Country where automobiles industry are leading has already gotten their backbone weak since that is the least requirement and market has heavily suffered all over globe.

So I would like to think that rest chance is to them who are developing countries and has got huge pharma companies in them.

The idea was to stop for a bit not totally for anyone to starve, there's nothing much you can do about the virus it is an invisible enemy, it is actually life and death situation when you step right outside your door coz the virus is dense enough to be carried by the air. Everyone is not prepared on what happened, maybe some of us has an emergency funds but I don't think it was ready good for 2 months and above.

Just to correct, we still don't have approved vaccine yet, the potential vaccines are still on the clinical trials even the Russia has proposed last month. As far as I know it is still on its first stage trial. What every one of us should do now is be vigilant from people we interact with, keep yourself safe especially your family.

Responsibility and discipline. That might be the best words to describe how a country could flourish again post-Covid-19.
We don't exactly know if the virus will remain, I bet it will.
So discipline is first using masks and distance to people for like a year or two even if the health offices announced the virus is out.

Responsibility. A government will not work without its people paying taxes.
We work again to make it better putting selfishness aside.
All of this ain't for us but for our kids and their soon to be kids.

You mean the our world for a chance to reset right? I'm scared with your opinion  I hope it won't happen lol

Air index in my country is getting better after the government imposed the lockdown 6 months ago, maybe that's one of positive things that the pandemic gives us back. But that won't be long, once people are free from their home, factories to operate again, air quality will be at worst again.

If you didn't suffer a lot from 2008 crisis then this might be the worst in your life experience. Hmm I'm weighing if this is the worst thing that happened to me, maybe just the second after our house was burned when I was in elementary, that was the destiny be joking to us.

Everyone has always considered 2008 like that as well and it didn't turn out like that. Do you know what happened to wall street after the 2008 fiasco? You think they stopped being super wealthy and suddenly became hard working citizens? People think Jeff Bezos is a great business person, you think he earned all that money and he deserves it? Most of his workers actually take welfare, so does people who work at Walmart as well, you think that worth was earned? It was stolen.

No reset would ever happen, people who have enough money will tell the politicians how much they will bribe them and power will always go to powerful, they will not let you get rich. Sure there are Mark Zuckerberg stories where people go insanely wealthy but those are so rare and only there to make sure you think you might get a chance from these situations, they are all a fairy tale.

   The cure you are right about this, it's easy to say, but the reality is different, and in reality it's harder to apply all the said things
just like that. I assume that this reset that OP talks about is possible for some countries, or individuals, but it's not something that
can be applied on all the countries and all the people.
   I would like to see this world doing better than now, but in reality we need to take care for ourselves and our families, and all
the changes we wish to this world we need to start applying them on ourselves first.

It's easy to say everything what you have said but the reality is, it is very difficult. It is easy to say do not go out and stop working outside but the truth is people will starve, it's painful to see your family who have nothing to eat and just wait for the help of others. There is already a vaccine and it will be released to the public soon so everything will be fine, as long as it is not available yet let's just be careful to ourselves.

Many pandemics happened before such as black plague and yet people still doesn't know how to properly take care of the things that matters. Maybe for some who believes in the history may take precaution but still, only the people affected by today's pandemic will happen to be cautious about it after we came back to normal days. Next generation will probably make the same mistakes as ours did.


I definitely agree, and you can add the opportunist government officials who noticibly does sketchy activities in this time of pandemic.

your story is like a fairy tale, sorry but it's not that easy you think everyone thinks the same and it will always end well, of course not.
some people may find it helpful but it will be hard to do it every day.
in this world there are even people who are willing to see other people suffer in order to achieve their goals, more precisely they only do what they need to do.

For every problem that we encounter, there is always a lesson that we have to take. This pandemic is a lesson for all of us to focus when it comes in healtc sectors. Many countries such as Italy have underestimated this virus and at the end, they have failed to cease the number of patients that became positive in covid. We are all unprepared for this pandemic but I know this would be the start for a reset. Probably, every countries will pay attention in resolving future pandemic, government will focus in cleanliness and people become more aware in food and healthy lifestyle. Discipline is what covid-19 teaches to us. As of now, many of us are following the health safety rules imposed by WHO.

But, I am thinking that it may also affect the culture. As day passed, I am asking when will the normal back again, wherein people can go outside without mask and social distancing. Well, I just missed those days where our lives is living in normal. There are lots of changes that this pandemic brought to the humanity.

That is correct. I don't know why people believe this is simple, this is very risky

yes exactly, if we think just negativeness then we will fall more down, so think positive and learn something, and be kind for all because everyone needs motivation.

Maybe it is true that the COVID-19 pandemic has a chance to reset, some people argue that with the COVID-19 air quality is getting better.
A devastated economy, forced to start all over again. Many people began to pay attention to health, such as cleanliness and healthy foods
that must be eaten. The way of life for humans is getting healthier, these are some of the positive effects that have occurred due to COVID-19.
But for me still COVID-19 is the worst thing that has happened in my life. Many people die every day, activities outside the home are limited,
it is difficult to earn money and life feels unsettled for fear of being infected by the corona virus.

Coronavirus is one of the unexpected things we could experience right now also this is the worst year that I experience. Yes, there is a history of virus-like this but the problem it's on history this is a new story right now.

Many countries fall down ecnonomy.
Many people lose their job
Many families are hard to live because of short supply.
Many company are not operating.
Many people died.
Many people are still not cured.

By the time goes by some of the people getting infected are now recovering which is a good sign and hope to make another reset on their live.

Some parts of the world are already healing and start their business up and building it again even there is a tragedy happens still they are keeping optimistic.

Even there are a lot of possible vaccines there is no assurance this the main cure.

Plus, economies will really crash due to unemployment and closed businesses.

Financial or economic reset are really approaching but that doesn't mean that it is an advantage for all of us. This pandemic really brought a lot of damage and inconvenience to humanity. Even the animals are affected due to starvation and bankruptcy of those zoos. All the sectors are affected, mainly, economics due to increasing of jobless people.

This is now going to be different because the Vaccine is already on the move to make more positive result and when this being confirmed?.then world will
turn around again to make our lives on track.
we have been in the dark half of our year now and still counting but this September comes the Sun to lighten us all.

Blessings maybe indeed because we finally has the Cure(though still need to be tested and proven and in many countries they are flattening the Curve so meaning?
at any chance this month or the next will be different and living will be good again and better.
Normal will be on our lives and Jobs will start opening again.Soon

Tourism industry has been one of the heavily affected due to this pandemic because countries are still banning local and international travels in and out as safety precautions of preventing more spread of the virus. Such lock-downs on cities is the only way to fight the pandemic and government is trying hard to contain infections at all cost for us to return in our normal state of living as soon as possible. Law abiding citizens will always understand this procedures because it's for everyone's safety.

One reason that South East Asian countries dealt better with this, and were quicker to lockdown, is their recent pandemic experience with SARS and MERS.
The West always thought itself immune to these pandemics, they were things that happened in other countries.
I think once this one is eventually all cleared up, then every country around the world will be much more prepared and act much more swiftly the next time that there is a threat of a global pandemic.

Indeed. Many people are struggling because of the implemented lockdown.

Some of us dont have enough money/savings to buy food. Its very easy to say that we need to abide and bear the situation to fight the virus but to those who dont have food to eat while at home this is not an easy thing.

it is on some .  economy are slowly returning while some arent yet because thier situation are still worst and government prefer to have a poor economy than to risk the health of its people because thats more painful  .  

if cases are still growing , the best solution is to stop the employment or lessen the employees . other best option would be stoping the business or the work for quite some time  . working with a threat is what others are doing now because if they stay afraid , nothing will happen on thier lives   . no money will flow

It is always easier said than done but we can't definitely control people's way of action. Some are very much affected with this pandemic hence they are no choice but to go out and find some money to provide financial needs.

Governments is not always there to provide and that's the reality. Our economy is also affected and people are trying to survive with this new normal after lifting the lockdown.
And people are aware of bad effects so i think discipline is all we need to control the spread of this covid19.

This is an awry situation in my perspective, in one side the government should have to keep the economic back to normal because if the situation keep continue there will be something bad that will happen. In another side, they should have to guard their citizen in order to keep them health. Meanwhile, what should they do when cases increase and they still employ their people? works with the threat of a virus and does not work for reasons of fear of not wanting to be infected.

It's opposite here, kids are freely playing outside and I can see their guardians just watching them in the just right in the door. Well I can understand what it feels like to be at home for months now, and I can say that kids can't help it anymore. But when I need something in my house, say cleaning materials or foods, I'm the one who goes outside to buy wearing a mask and long sleeves. Good for you, your kids are that understandable.

Add Singapore, coz I'm really impressed how they handle the pandemic situation, though clearly no one was ready for this but their strong will to be a resilient country has been tested.

Discipline and cooperation is the very ideal cure to prevent being infected and to infect people.

OP just says that treat the situation, not as a nightmare as others think. We know there are already lots of deaths and the economy is falling but rather than to consider it as a hellish problem that we can't deal with, we must step up and treat the situation as a big challenge how to rise up. It's difficult but we have no other options at all but to move forward.

Not a literal blessing in disguise but with the pandemic happened, people realized how to fight against an invisible enemy, people realized how important it is to stay healthy and fit, people realized what investment is appropriate to invest with, people realized what businesses survived in the pandemic, people know the true color of some politicians, and lastly, people now become ready and prepared for the future waves of the pandemic in the future.

It is not all doom and gloom... the pandemic also brought families together, where there was possibly feuds for years. People also realized that health is more important than wealth. The pandemic also highlighted the things that we took for granted.. like going to the movies and also enjoying Sport outdoors. 

Many companies also realized for the first time that remote working from home is a viable option and that people might even be more productive in a conducive environment. 

We have to take the good with the bad my friend.. 

And what good would come from that "reset"? I would rather say that we are adapting to new situation pretty well instead of it being a blessing. That's because we have to adapt and people are good at that. That's is why the human race with probably prevail almost anything. But this is very far from any blessing.

Blessing in disguise? Nah, it cannot be, and I couldn't portray it just like that. However, I admit, this global problem on the other hand revealed our shortcomings, flaws or whatsoever negativity we had for a very long time.

One more thing, people aren't going outside for no reason though, it is not that, their own life aren't that important to them. But going out for work, to buy some food, to do some transaction must've been too disconcerting to them as well. But they have to do it, if nothing else 

This is exactly what I was thinking, for the most part things are never as simple as people think they are, it could be incredibly easy to say that everyone should stay home for months and that will be enough to stop the virus if everyone followed that guideline, however despite the appearances we do not have the resources to do that, who is going to produce the food, or the other hundreds of products and services that are necessary to maintain our living standards? And once you try to answer that is when you realize that you cannot send people home forever.

Maybe people would finally understand that earth doesn't care about your political alignment, your country, your religion, your personal belief, nothing matters to earth. As long as you are living on this planet you have to take good care of it and if you don't earth will treat you like a virus and will try to kill you. Look at humans as a virus to earth, what is earth doing? It is increasing in temperature, don't you get a high fever when you get a virus? Don't you have anticores that fight against you?

Well, world has virus for anticore, same logic applies, a bit less killer for earth, more killer for humans. Basically if we do not get our things in order and try to help the earth, earth will not try to help us, will make it very very difficult to stay alive here.

No form of education can help mould a person's character in my opinion which is why I disagree with your idea regarding character education. Every individual is responsible for his/her character at the end of the day.

You cannot force someone to change their character. It is completely up to the individual and the reality is that most humans around the world choose a bad character for reasons such as luxury, fame etc. It's messed up, but it is the reality that we live in.

The covid-9 situation cannot be considered a blessing in disguise. it can only be seen as a problem which we have to face together. The government that has implemented the new normal is not more concerned with the country's economy than the health and lives of its people but is thinking about the best solution for this problem. Lockdown is not the best step in solving this pandemic problem for developing countries. In developing countries the number of poor people is so high and a government that does not have the ability to bear all the needs of its people cannot implement this lockdown rule. Starving and death will further exacerbate problems in the country if the government does not solve them properly. New normal is one of the best alternatives in solving this problem. we still have a chance to return to our lives without covid-19. Obey government rules, maintain health protocols, and stay happy so we can survive in this pandemic.

What country are you talking about? USA?

Me, my wife and my kids stayed at home as much as possible.
I see kids outside already playing and I know my children want to join them but it is not possible because we want their safety first.
It is only me who gets out of the house if necessary.
Taiwan and New Zealand sure dealt with it at its best.
But it won't work without the discipline of the people. While in USA, there is racism they are fighting with and protest are left in right.
I hope they can fix this as soon as possible before more of them is infected and so does their economy.

That’s true, people have to keep moving despite of the situation and the effect of Covid-19 is not simple as what we thought, many are suffering for real and they have no choice but to work or they’ll suffer. This is not a chance to reset, this is a chance to do better next time and to think for a better preparation for the future.

No one want want to oppose the  government its all depend on the need of the family not all people are able to live With no job and no incoming money .  If they are really serious in the battle of this pandemic then they should give all the family all their needs so no one will come out just to look for money.

Many do not realize that the more people who get Covid, the greater the burden on the country. For information in my country, a positive patient with Covid-19 spends around USD 11,000 - USD 17,000 per person and everything is covered by the state. The reason for the opening of the economy with the Covid protocol to avoid a recession is the fact that it actually increases the state budget deficit by increasing positive patients with Covid-19.

The most important reset that must be done is to reset the mindset of each individual according to their respective roles. Apart from all the current social, economic, and political problems, early character education must still be a concern in all countries because without moral and religious values, intelligence, position, and wealth will bring disaster and loss to other individuals.

I think in every worst situation, humans has this ability to find a way to turn it into positive, just like the WW2. Millions lost their lives, directly or indirectly and we should say that it was also a reset. But still the horrors are feel even after more than half a century now.

So with this pandemic, many died as well, lost our jobs, our businesses and everything, so we really couldn't say it's a blessing, perhaps it let families closer to together because of the lockdown. But if you don't have money to bring food in the table, then there's nothing positive about it. And now with the looming crisis in the horizon, it's either we adopt in order to survived.

Like what others said, there is no blessing in disguise in this time of pandemic. The only positive thing happened is I think Mother Earth got a chance to heal, that's all. Other than that, everything is a misery. The suffering we all felt is 10x greater than such "blessing". Thus, there's no reason for us to be grateful in the corona virus .

Anyway, do you really think resetting the economy is good? Well if it is just one click away then why not, I would gladly click the button. But in reality, it's not. Imagine the lives of the poor that are slowly killed by hunger. For me, even those small people don't deserve to die just because of this.

yes you are right but have no any other option rather then follow the instruction if we don't follow then our dead is a big loss

Digital transactions has been introduced well when pandemic is happening in the world so I think mass adoption regarding on digital payments will happen since I'm sure people find it easy to do the transactions online.

I don't want to see another lock down happening since I think we will never go unto that state since provably the vaccine will came out very soon and it will help us get back to our normal life.

No one really knows how the "new normal" is going to look after the pandemic is over. I think it's clear for everybody that the world is changing due to corona. It's on all of us how the new world will look like.

Letting people stay home for a long perio of time is very difficult, especially during summer. In case of another lock down we will need the government to look into alternatives on how to spend time and follow social distancing rules.

Many have talked about appropriate solutions to deal with the pandemic, but each country has a model that differs from the rest of the countries, and applying the same solutions in all countries will not be useful, some countries suffer from health and economic crises, so the complete closure may cause the death of many people.

Some countries have developed immunity and the mortality rate is small compared to the population.
The essential thing is that we are learning more about this epidemic and the next cost will be cheaper.

I don't understand what exactly are you trying to say in your post.
It's just one of the many "coronavirus pandemic sucks,stay at home,reset you life,lockdowns might be an opportunity,follow the rules,bla bla bla" type of posts that have been flooding all the social media and forums for the past few months.By now the topic about the pandemic is just a meaningless conversation to me.We can't add anything new to that conversation,so there's no point of talking BS again.
Yeah the travel industry was damaged severely by the pandemic,but I don't care.I wasn't traveling around different countries before the pandemic and I won't be traveling during the pandemic.
Everything is going to be fine,if we all have discipline and responsibility.

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.
