I think that many governments, weakening quarantine measures, act correctly in accordance with the current situation. We can continue to maintain quarantine measures, save thousands of lives and at the same time destroy the country's economy, the consequences of which will be the deaths of millions of people. Therefore, everything needs to be measured and look at the solution to the problem more widely. In each country, much more people die in road traffic crashes than from coronavirus. A lot more people die from alcoholism and drug addiction than from coronavirus.
There are many more areas where many more people are dying than the coronavirus pandemic is taking. Moreover, we consider this almost in the order of things.
Governments have already realized that if they continue to adhere to strict quarantine measures, then hunger riots will swept away the government in the future, and finally destroy that part of the economy, which has survived so far.
Topic: Saving economy at the cost of what? (Read 1185 times)
More people are now complacent with the corona virus hence some lock-downs has been lift off and that's the scary part of it, people are not cautious anymore and they became more relax even if positive persons are rising everyday as we seen on the news. Governments are always reminding people to practice social distancing and wear mask always as precautionary measures when going outside our houses. This is a big gamble for the government just for people to survive until vaccine is available and no other way to save our economy by doing whatever it takes to save peoples lives and the economy through the new normal routines.
Short term versus long term is a very important thing and that is what the older generations missed out that we shouldn't. If we have to live very very very poorly for the next 10 to 20 years, if we have to give up so much that we basically become like Venezuela and do not eat properly, if we turn out to be really not even living but just surviving, I will be fine with all of that in exchange of having an insanely good future in the end.
If we have to put it on a grading scale, I would rather have 10/100 life for 20 years and then have 100/100 instead of living at 80 now and 75 in 10 years and 70 10 years after that and 65.. continue like that. In the end if we continue this system, poor will not survive, we are killing people who can't afford to live and that is unsustainable, so in the end it will be break down and fixed eventually anyway.

Of course, quarantine is required to prevent viral infection. But we must also understand that people cannot be at home all the time. We need to work to make money and lead a normal life. We must not allow ourselves to return to primitive society. Today, the main goal for us is to find a vaccine against the virus. By this we can prevent a recurrence of the disease.
I agree with the government's actions to remove the quarantine in order to save the economy. There really is a risk that may occur,
The actual risk that is feared if removing the quarantine is to increase the number of infected corona viruses. But the thing can be
minimized by applying strict health protocols. Because if you wait until the vaccine is found the risk is even greater in my opinion.
However the people needs to work to make money, because not all work can be done from home.
Better increase the hospital beds and ventilators before the restriction relaxation because using mask is no longer save ourselves from this corona virus so when people starts to live their normal life the more cases will be there,in that time if hospitals are lacking the treatment then it will increase the mortality rate.

The government is doing everything to balance the situation, they can’t just stopped working and let the virus killed the economy. I know there are so many irregularities but I believe every government is doing their best, its hard to run a country where people have no coordination at all. They’ll save many as much as they can, and I sure the economy must continue to work so they can still face many challenges in the future.
Here in our country, the government is not that responsible and we already have a huge debt in a lot of organization even in the World Bank. They do not allocate the proper budget and most of our government officials are corrupt and they only think of their own wealth. They are not thinking of the community's situation on how they deal with this pandemic.
It is given that the economy of a country will surely go down due to the damages brought by this pandemic to the small and large businesses. Hoping that government will be responsible on helping most of the families who are struggling in this pandemic. Also, i'm hoping that they make a proper plan about the opening of businesses for them to pay taxes.

People are the way for economic recovery but how can people help the economy if the peoples lives are getting worst caused of covid19 virus. Our government are now implementing new rules as a new normal which cause a rapid increase of covid-19 positive now, because many people are now going back to work and many business establishment are now operating just to open the economy and help it not to collapse. Sometimes i don't understand what really the plan of the government to the people against covid 19 pandemic.
Life or economy will have to make a well-thought-out decision If people live, the economy will survive When the economy collapses again, it is a big disaster for the people So there is no direct answer here We have to make a decision considering the maximum benefit And people are at the center of the decision The decision has to be made for the people, to survive.
If the people are ready to strictly follow the government directives on wearing masks and social distancing, this issue won't be there. If that was the case, then economy could open without any spike in new infections. But where I live (India) people are going out without masks and everyday I am seeing those who were advised home quarantine roaming around in the streets. What the government can do, under these circumstances? I envy countries such as South Korea and Japan, where people follow the government orders.
Well saving the economy is not really the big subject this time, life is more important than economy and i believe that saving economy this time of pandemic will maybe risk our life, staying at home is all we can do this time to save the economy or maybe to save life, we can still stand after this pandemic if we still have a healthy life, but if we get infected we can make everything worst and the pandemic will maybe last long.
It all depends on our perspective of seeing this pandemic, by accident or by design. If a pandemic is considered an accident, the government will only respond to disasters and depend on mutual support between countries on a humanitarian basis. But if we look at a pandemic by design and a journalist, then the government will be more free to take policies so as not to become victims or at least minimize the risk of losing sovereignty.
Survival mode when a crisis strikes is different from survival mode when wartime. Economic policy during the crisis and during a war is certainly different, this is where the war between the government and the head of state is very important to overtake the corner. Destruction is the real CEO job. Great leaders are those who can damage their own system to be replaced with a new system without losing the benefit of returning to the track for something to aim for. Pandemic provides an opportunity for many countries to escape from attachment and dependency, by following the ways of Germany, Germany, China, the US in achieving the interests of his country.

I think I got so distracted with the failing world economy due to some other countries use of the misfortune caused by the pandemic. They trade for the need in health, food, technology and other necessities in the lock-down. I was not looking at the improvement of the health facilities, culture and personal health precautions around the world which is relapsing with relax of the lock-down. Since no vaccines had been discovered the second waves is bound to happen possibly in higher capacity, so we might need more to save the economy.
Frankly speaking this pandemic has brought the entire world on its toes and steeped in distress. However, there has to be a double edged solution or else if we decide to kill it at one front the other front will over power us. First of all, total lock down will bring any country on its knees, even the developed countries could not handle it how much more developing ones. So yeah, restrictions have to be lifted so that economic productivity can go on whiles people take care of themselves to prevent catching the disease.
People think that governments choose between economy and health of citizens but in fact it isn't so.
By responsible behaviour of everyone both options are possible.
Lockdown can't last forever, that would mean the end of our societies and we have to continue with our lives and that includes economy, production, social activities. If we obey recommendations and rules made by epidemiologists all activities can continue and we can still protect our health. Besides constant fear and panic from virus don't lead anywhere, thus you could spend your life in fear from any other diseas and where would that lead you.
This is why it is important to try to make people aware that the end of the lockdown period does not mean the end of the precautions necessary to protect ourselves from the virus, many people are acting as if everything is over and this is dangerous, if most people act like that then it is almost inevitable that a second wave of the pandemic will come in full force during the winter, this will make the transmission even easier under those weather conditions and could force another lockdown which will be even more deadly for the economy.

I do think we do realize that the most important thing one should be concerned right now about is actually : Well being, Good health of his family and himself too.
When I go through the news I do realize that the government is prematurely removing the Quarantine , which might cost life of a lot of people .
• Bans on many Casinos was lifted
• The Flights have started operating
• Schools are going to start again
And much more !
I do think we should realize that even though we are moving forward to save the economy of the world , we are actually less concerned about COVID-19 now.
Is it worth it ?
Because even though we have strict regulations, even though people have been given strict rules to follow , they will still mess up !
I am aware of the counter argument : If this is not done people will still die ..Hungry , without being able to pay for the basic necessities
But I do think there should be some way , such as Quarantine is extended but still the Sectors Instead of asking people to come to the office continues to work from Home.
There should be Penalty on people for not wearing masks, might sound ridiculous for some but please understand that :
The second or Third wave of the virus can be prevented by 100% usage of masks .
With Risks increasing and possible economic collapse where are we headed to ?

Its the sad truth now. Just like here in our country, the Government are slowly lifting up the enhanced community quarantine to General community quarantine on selected places, where people can start going out but with a mask of course. And some businesses and transportation were operating as long as they follow social distancing.
It made me sad to realized that when covid19 started to enter here in our country, with only just 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 cases of infected or positive individuals, we are forced to just stay home to stop the virus from spreading, and implemented hard lockdown for over 4months. And now, that the cases arises and reach 36, 438 infected individuals as of today...they are slowly lifting the quarantine, and many people can be seen anywhere, not following social distancing anymore. I understand that our Government cannot provide everything for all the people because of its limited resources, and to revive the losses and the dying economy, they are now giving permission to some businesses and industries to operate, and the people became more at risk. Saving the economy is necessary but the lives of many people are the most important.
Starting again with a new normal life will provide an opportunity for everyone to restart their lives and their economy. The company will be re-operated and workers will return to work for money that will support them.
The problem is what happens if the company is in debt so that they cannot restart the work again after a three month layoff and i am sure many companies are facing that situation, i am not talking about multinational companies but small and medium sectors and they will find it diffcult to restart the work and the people who work in those places suddenly have no job and the question would be, will be government help in reducing their debt and funding them and most of the time it is highly unlikely the government will bail these small and medium industries.The most important thing is to maintain yourself by always maintaining cleanliness, using masks and according to the protocol set. The economy will recover if we together try to rebuild it.
It is not that easy to revive the economy because the debt starts increasing and what will the government do to ignore that, pump more money and what happens is inflation if they keep on printing and pumping money, maintaining a healthy diet and using mask is one thing you need to follow but it would have been great if we followed that from the start.
The number of infected people has dropped, many have been cured and recovered
That's why the government is trying to slowly restore everything, because they can't provide all the needs of their citizen.they have to do that because many are hungry.

Demonstrations that took place in the United States and did not lead to a second wave of the epidemic confirm that wearing masks and observing hygienic measures will mitigate the repercussions of the pandemic.
Adherence to these procedures and teaching the people to start with fear of the virus and that it may lead to human death and the destruction of the economy is the solution.
When people stop fear, they become less cautious and fail.

Restrictions are removed for the reason that few countries can afford to be in isolation for months.
New outbreaks will be but at least humanity now knows about masks. In any case, the crisis will be stronger and more destructive if you continue to keep everyone at home.
Yeah, there is really nothing else we can do. Do you know what’s more annoying with the lockdown? We went on a lockdown with hope that the virus will stop spreading, but guess what? It kept spreading and numbers increasing. So, what’s the need for a lockdown when it’s not solving any matter? And yet people are going hungry and losing their jobs? Nah, we better stop the lockdown and let people go back to their work, it doesn’t make any sense.New outbreaks will be but at least humanity now knows about masks. In any case, the crisis will be stronger and more destructive if you continue to keep everyone at home.
A lot of companies tried the work-from-home, but you do know that a cleaner and a security can’t work from home right? A cleaner might end up losing their job because they can’t work from home.
