It has been about three months that the global economy was hard hit with disruption that had not been experience in a long time.
Even the 1929 economic depression does not have negative impacts as the covid-19 economic impact.

Some of the effects of the Covid-19 affected both individuals and businesses. To individuals here are the effects;
1.Loss of livelihood as a result of loss of jobs.
2.Loss of lives. Those that died as a result of the Covid-19 infection.
3.Social Distance. There is a ban on freedom of movement.
4.Threat of everyone to everyone.

To businesses, some went bankrupt even some governments had to run to the UN and IMF for aids.
Most economies are re-opening and businesses are now operating partially.

The question is this; what will happened to the global economy if there is a spike in the spread of covid19 again ?

Yes, personally and globally covid has damages men life as well as economy of a country but there is no chance to spread of Covid 19 again because of vaccine. Different countries vaccine now are in final stage and we can hope for vaccine at the end of the year. So there is also no chance to damage economy again globally. But i think this is a learning for people that in future like Covid more pandemic may come as we damaging nature so we have to prepare for all things and hole world now will think alternative way that they did not in past.

thanks.

In my country and particularly in our place cases are spiking compared to past records so unfortunately there’s a continuing count of infected and deaths. Governments really have no choices on what to save first wether the people or the economy, what they did is opened some essential businesses and at the same time didn’t set aside the safety of the public which is practically the new normal. Its sad at the same time because the government can’t feed its people anymore and millions are still jobless in different parts of the country.
This is the reality that the government cannot feed it's people that's why some are begging for food to eat and some starved to death. Even the infected of this virus in our country is not flattening the curve rather it increasing so people are still going out to find job that may sustain the needs of their family because of no choice and no government helping them. That's the option of the government that at least some businesses could open, however, only vaccine could stop this pandemic so we can go back to normal things that we do.

The downfall of COVID-19 is already started, It is not going to hit again with that much strength as we have seen already. I have heard that people also donating blood? I think that is good we have more recoveries then the infected people will fall.

For vaccine I do not think it is going to happen, It will stay and will only vanish when everyone gets infected and get recovered maybe. It is getting down already though.

Not necessarily. You can get a vaccine out early next year with mass production within the first few months of 2021. Whether or not the entire population gets infected by coronavirus is another discussion. Sweden already has herd immunity and their economy didn't take a large hit. The U.S. can't decide between social distancing/lock down and herd immunity so they're stuck in the middle.

Almost 150 teams from different country are developing a vaccine now, there is hope, and doctors said that we should be excited. Some test are in Phase 3 now. Means they are testing the vaccine to people now, thousands of people try it already. They are testing if it can protect different people for a long time. I think one of these vaccines could succeed. We should be hopeful however, we should still prioritize taking precaution to avoid the virus now.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. Most countries in the world have failed to invent vaccines. The crisis has eased somewhat but is re-emerging. No one can flatten it until the vaccine is available. However, no one is already afraid of the virus infection. Everyone is going back to their own way. The government's crackdown has been lifted in many places. Everything in the business trade has been revived.

The economy of most countries are already functioning it's needed the government choose that risk as they can't fed their
people who loses jobs, nowadays most people are no longer afraid they needed to survived and even the vaccine is not yet presented
they chooses to live, there's no intact data that will tells that the situation is really flattened.

The number of new cases in the Philippines is increasing day by day and some municipalities are getting strict with their boundaries and implementing a longer curfew hour to limit people from moving from places to places. I guess the situation here in our country will get out of hand if people will not do their part to avoid the spread of the virus. Our country cannot afford another total lockdown because our economy is bound to collapse.

Two days before Russia again announced that they are at the final stage of their vaccination testing process and soon the mass production will begin in their country, but many countries along with WHO advised them to follow all the protocols in the testing process or it could create the  new problem if there is some issue on the vaccination given to the people after a while.Hope the end for this covid 19 is getting nearer.

Not all COVID-19 countries curve is flattening, some countries have even increased. This all depends on how COVID-19 is handled
in every country. Because some countries have been forced to open quarantine so that the economy will recover, but on the other
hand it causes increase in the number of positive cases. This is indeed a concern, but the reality is that the number of countries
with the COVID-19 curve is increasing quite a lot. So the discipline and awareness to comply with the COVID-19 prevention health
protocol must be further improved.

The infected cases have been decreasing regularly. Same as the death there is also an increased number of people who have got cured from the virus attack. People who are lacking in immunity is easily affected, and it is truly hard time for the entire world. In my life this is what I'm experiencing in real-time. Earlier several pandemic virus has caused in the world ending with higher life losses than covid-19.
Meanwhile in our country, the death and COVID-19 cases are increasing daily and people right now are panicking. Im thinking that this COVID-19 will gonna destroy our country.
The curve is far way to go to be flattened. Everyday my country is dealing more and more positive cases and its getting worst now. The health department are getting tired and almost give up, because a lot of people here did not follow the safety protocol especially when the Government started to loosen up the community quarantines. It seems that the people already forgot that the virus is still here.
What if the virus will spike again at its very worse? Or what if we might experience a second wave? I can't figure out what will happen next to us. Probably, the starving people will increase and the health system and the economy will totally drop down.
Same, the government can't even handle it anymore and just blaming the citizens. There are many task force and police every corner of the city during quarantine so I wonder why they keep saying that people are not listening to orders.

Even though there is a surge in the spread of the covid19 virus again, I think some companies and some tourist attractions and even the sports industry will no longer be closed and or suspended, so that no more lockdown system will be implemented because they will also prioritize economic improvement so it is not surprising when many protocols are set up to support the new normal era. At least that is a reflection of what is happening in my country, because this economy must be restored in any way sooner or later.
In our country the situation is getting worse, the infected each day are increasing big time compared to before. Its because of lack of discipline, many stubborn citizens are not cooperating and cant stay at home, didnt wear face mask and no social distancing. If there's no vaccine were made then I think the situation wont change. Currently we are put to lockdown again to control the infected of virus, the government is hoping it can flatten the curve.

As the vaccine is still far from the horizon and may be available at the end of this year, we still have about 5 months to look out for ourselves and be extra careful with our surroundings. Experts say that there are various mutations of this virus, so lack of discipline among people will really make the situation worse. Right now, what we can do is stay at home as much as possible and if we are outside, you need to be vigilant with your surroundings and use face masks/face shield and exercise social distancing at all times.

I agree that the situation is getting worse and they can't handle the increase of the COVID-19 cases per day. But I don't think that it's good to blame those citizens because they're the victim on this. How can we say that they're aren't really following the protocols if there are fines for disobeying it. Citizens are the one who's affected a lot and those who're in the position can't even feel the suffering of the people. So the statements of other people are true, lifting ECQ to GCQ without proper plan is an action of the government to have a reason for being incompetent.

In my own opinion, if COVID-19 will start to spread and make a vast number of cases again, I assume that there will be a massive riot in every country because a lot of people will die in starved due to losing their jobs and businesses getting bankrupt. That is why scientists, doctors, nurses, etc. are doing everything for them to provide a vaccine for COVID-19 to prevent this kind of situation from happening.
How i wish to have that kind if people in the community who are willing to follow the rules of the government. But sadly humanity is too stubborn. I really admire the taiwanese people cause they are the first country that defeat that virus and now look at them they're a covid free country. I salute to the taiwanese people and to their government.

Now a month and a half latter we see that curve did not really started flattering at end of June. It seems it is flattering now in start of August. We are having about 250k new infected a day and it does not look like there will be more in upcoming weeks. Back in 23th June there were almost half less daily infected.
If you look at the new infection around the globe, three countries contribute to the new infections and those are Brazil, US and India and they combine hundred and fifty thousand patients on a daily basis but the rest of the countries have almost controlled the spread, that being said we have no idea what the future holds and whether there will be spikes, vaccine is the only solution and it will take time until then we need adjust our life around the virus.


Yes when is pandemic you need to look all countries. In a month maybe this 3 countries will have little new cases and 3 other countries will have a lot. But what matters is number of all newly infected and if it will not go over 300k then we flattered the curve. We the Earthlings together.

That's actually good. That just shows that your country's economy is now slowly recovering. Here in our place, same thing is also happening. Almost all businesses are now open but of course, safety protocols must be strictly implemented and followed. However, our country's capital city is back to community quarantine for two weeks thus, some businesses were forced to close again. I hope that that implementation will help in the reduction of the positive cases in our country.

I am amazed at Dr. Fauci's skepticism. In my opinion, we are not waiting to be the first country to achieve a cure against covid19, humanity needs a cure as soon as possible. At this level, all tests and results of possible vaccines must be supported by global public health. There should be no improvisation, much less now. We know that we depend on science and the best scientists who are working hard against the clock.

Quote
I do hope that the Chinese and the Russians are actually testing the vaccine before they are administering the vaccine to anyone,” Fauci said in a congressional hearing on the coronavirus crisis on Friday.

“I do not believe that there will be vaccines, so far ahead of us, that we will have to depend on other countries to get us vaccines.
