Topic: The unfortunate event that is Quarantine. - page 3. (Read 1583 times)

I made it a personal thing to contribute to charities during this period because I am lucky to be working at home right now and I do not have to risk my life to earn any money, or I wasn't fired and became unemployed neither, so it is only fair that I contribute to the world back and I did send some money to charities, I thought they must need it a lot right now with how much money they must be spending helping out people.

If we focus on what we could do instead of what we are doing, there are so many things we could do to help people out, it is really not that hard because there is enough wealth around the world to save everyone and give everyone a basic human life, yet some wealthy people unfortunately hoard all the wealth and leave the poor people to death and misery and starvation.

The quarantine has a lot of effects, especially on the people who don't have any savings and ready for this. People ended up working from home while the others are being removed from work 'cause companies aren't financially stable due to lockdown. The most unfortunate event for me is our government doesn't give importance to those people who really in need. They're prioritizing other bills that don't make sense during the pandemic and enhanced community quarantine was already lifted to good community quarantine which is some people are already allowed to go out now.

University of the PH here already predicted that we will have 40k confirmed cases in the 3rd week of June, and I hope it won't happen.

Agree with this, a lot of companies decided to reduced their workforce to lessen the workers they have to pay, and to have a safe working environment for social distancing. A lot of those companies may choose to have robots, machineries, and etc. to fill in the gap of those workers in the future. Especially they have to chase the money they have lost during the lockdown. Those robots wont need to social distance with each other. They don't get sick with this virus. Kind of scary when thinking about the robots in the workplace, is it a threat or a good thing, i don't know it may be both. I just hope workers who are unemployed now will still find a work after this pandemic ends.

Sad but true mate,i have some friends that has no income in this season and they are only relying in government support that is not enough for daily living ,and now their company declares closure things that bothers Him so much.

Actually this is also the problem of our community because there are some families here that has no capacity letting their children to study online,but they will look for free government offers for study,Hopefully will come true.

I absolutely agree with you.We are enjoying  our time in quarantine or we are passing our time leisurely . But just think about those people who are day labourer. How are they passing their time?They don’t have any work as a result,their whole family can be in hunger.Its very sad that, if this continues than more people will die from hunger than corona virus.

And about studying in online is like a dream for poor people because they don’t have enough money to buy food,how they can afford their children to study online??On the other hand,In village,internet connection is very poor.There is no way, you can attend online class from rural village.         

You are discussing something that has rarely been discussed by many people. The existence of a corona pandemic, in the long run, will result in deterioration in the quality of students and ultimately reduce the competitiveness of graduates. This decline in the quality of education is not only due to the ineffectiveness of online education but also the loss of the ability of parents to accommodate adequate educational facilities. In fact, this young generation is the productive generation whose contribution is expected to increase demand and drive supply after the pandemic ends.

Besides whether this is a kind of real simulation of world conditions in the future where humans scramble with robots to get work. The existence of a pandemic that causes an increase in unemployment may be equivalent to the concept of industrialization 4.0 where robots, algorithms, and AI dominate and the role of humans is shifted by the ability of IoT, especially repetitive actions that do not require problem solving cognitive interdependence.

First, sorry for the spelling mistakes.... 

Gambling? Well, no! If you want to lose money it´s up to you though. One investmenr rules is to never invest money you can´t afford to lose, so if you have enough and don´t know what to do with it, be my guest.

Production needs to go on, same goes for supply chain workers. Both don´t need the internet to run but are crucial to keep society alive. Many already found their way around by seperating product lines, or send their staff in reduced work time and applying for governmental support to keep them from closing. Btw, somehow funny news today that somehow passed the governmental message control: Austrian public agency for health and food safety announced today that in 2020, more people died of the common annual influenza than of Covid. Makes the lockdown even more pointless.

You have a point but remember that not everyone can work from home. Not all jobs require an internet or stay-home requirements to get things done. There are many great companies around the world that do not require internet in the production of their stuffs, example the soap companies, clothing companies, shoe companies etc. Lock down and quarantine becomes unfortunate for such companies and the world at large as production reduces or ceases totally.

To trade yeah but to gamble?i don't think it is a option in this quarantine when we have limited funds and may be lose in betting.
i think what we need is to find online Job and let our crypto stays Holding because we are near Bull run and we must not let our self being late in rally.

This is not unfortunate if we can use quarantine time The best way to go online would be to gamble and trade We can earn some money by gambling and trading. This unfortunate time will be easily overcome Get rid of the financial crisis.

Any source of what you are saying here about the vaccine as some sort of inhaler? I think it is too early to announce such development. Aug 2020 is just couple of months from now, I don't think they can provide the vaccine at that time.

Not only depends on the government is a very wise thought. we as a community must also support the government to overcome the Covid-19 problem by continuing to follow the rules and protocols that have been established. Covid-19 vaccine has been found by Oxford University and Astra Zeneca University. The research was funded by Bill Gates, who was the founder of Microsoft. The vaccine found is believed to be ready for use in August 2020. The vaccine is a type of inhaler commonly used by sufferers of shortness of breath or Asthma.

Quarantine was done save lives, and I don’t think at first they expected the outbreak to keep spreading after lockdown was initiated. But surprisingly, despite the lockdown the virus keeps on spreading. The most annoying is employees lost their job and won’t be getting it back even after the lockdown is over. It’s really annoying. I’m happy that I already got my own job and I’m not relying on any company to be paying me, even during the lockdown I’m still able to make income.

Schools have not resumed here, I don’t know for y’all. Have they resumed in other places around the world? Most kids here are learning online, but only kids that their parents can afford to pay for it. There are kids from poor family whose parents cannot afford to pay for this.

Majority of us are not online workers, actually there's a lot of people who got depressed because of the current situation that they lose their job.
They need the help of the government and maybe that is the reason why government are slowly opening businesses as halting them would bring worse effect to the people compared to the covid-19, in fact just yesterday I read a news that one OFW committed a suicide because he lose his job and he is a bread winner in the family.

We don't only rely with the government, we need to support them since the vaccine is still not available.

For people who do their jobs on the internet it only has a slight effect because most of their work is done online and payments are also made online. But for ordinary people who have offline work, there will be many effects that occur when the quarantine is done. Reduction of income or even no income at all, there were many layoffs, reduction in production in the industry and others have a negative effect that makes the economic cycle halt.

Waiting for government policy to overcome all these problems. So that people affected by quarantine still live properly.

Life is waht you make of it, and so is quarantine. I´m not even in one, but I started playing chess again. Anway, it´s a good tiem to start learning, e. g. there are plenty of free online courses on coding and developing on youtube. Educate yourself, use the time wisely!

Our current situation is really difficult and everyone should fight this pandemic just to survive physically,financially and spiritually. Government can't sustain the needs of millions of people if quarantine and lockdowns still continuous. Our only hope remains in God and those who are trying to make a cure for this virus. If pandemic continuous people will not only die to this virus but also in stress,and hungry. Most people doesn't have work now and our economy continue to down. I hope people can think about crypto because it will be a way to survive for our daily needs this pandemic situation.

If the developed countries are struggling then you would wonder how worst it can get for a third world country but the strangest thing i noticed is that majority of the poor countries are not having that much of a problem with the number of patients, may be because they lack in testing.

When the industries resume work then it will be back to normal  , it was refreshing to see the pollution to be under control but i hardly doubt we will see an event like this in a century.

It is better to be at home than to be spreading the diseases but the government should have taken a more cautious approach rather than closing down everything.

The quarantine and lock donation imposed in an effort to stem the corona pandemic in many developing countries are considered not effective. But at least the quarantine has a shock effect for the community on the danger of corona and the easy spread of corona, which in turn aims to raise awareness to take protective measures to ward off corona outbreaks. Staying at home without much activity while being filled with news about corona alert also educates the effects of serial killings caused by pandemics ranging from economic, social, and cultural life.

In many third countries, even though the pandemic has not subsided even though the number of victims continues to increase exponentially and has not declined, the government has decided to stop quarantine with economic considerations rather than security. The government has run out of ideas, over budget, and reduced income due to the amount of stimulus and relaxation made the government take the decision to open lockdown. Without economic rotation, depression will occur.

Opening quarantine and lockdown for economic reasons and ignoring safety considerations is a risky policy especially as developing and poor countries are not supported by adequate health facilities. In my country, even the black zone (above the red zone) remains opened with consideration of the lives of many people. The current semi-immunity policy of immunity depends on individual awareness. But in my country complaints have begun to emerge from medical personnel and doctors will be provided by the government for medical personnel, even they have begun to reject the corona patient.

That's the not a first aid, it's a way to prevent people from getting or spreading the virus, government does not give anything to cure the diseases, it's just to prevent.


The more we allow ourselves to be quarantine, the more we will die in hunger, this pandemic has affected our economy a lot, people struggle because they lose their job but we to fight this by following all the necessary safety measures so we can still make a living.
