South Korea and few other countries like Turkey managed to overcome COVID19 without the need to lockdown or shut down the economy entirely. Rapid testing is the only solution for a pandemic rather than making people go jobless and the ones who are homeless remain without food and shelter. Cases in some places are increasing despite there being a strict lockdown as they get infected by a person who has been in the hospital or who works in essential services. Not all Governments are able to help those jobless or give them enough money as per their standard of living.
Rapid test kits shows inaccurate results so many countries are not using them for testing purpose.Even if few countries managed to contain the spread still they ill get impact economically because the import and export will not become as before which is the one of the primary sources of income to any country.
Topic: The unfortunate event that is Quarantine. - page 5. (Read 1562 times)
Corona virus can kill humans, but quarantine can kill everything. Because quarantine makes many people lose their jobs, so people find it
difficult to buy daily necessities. The effect is many people are starving, so should not quarantine done too long. So that the economy can
run again, so everyone can make money.

Personally, I hold on, because. even from the forum, I get a sufficient amount for life, including payment of housing, groceries. People who have lost their jobs must go to labor exchanges to be paid unemployment benefits if they cannot find work right now.
This is a global pandemic, there is no way that anyone wouldn't be affected by this. Even if you had zero infected in your nation (which I doubt there is any) you would still be affected because other nations are affected and that affects you.
At the end of the day 2008 was something closer in the sense that it was mortgage crisis in wall street that almost killed Greece and Spain and Italy, but there were so many that wasn't affected, this one is affecting the whole world and that is not something we could just throw out of notion that easily. World is affected and world needs to regroup together as well, no nation should try to do it all by themselves, the ones that can would still take longer without help, and the ones who can't will be under big pressure and debt and would really hurt.

Apparently due to Quarantine , people are getting jobless ,but then again pause for a minute.
Some well established institutions are able to provide the financial support and they are shifting the jobs online . One should understand that, this is something that only some well off members of the society are enjoying. Unfortunately the people with small jobs are now deemed insignificant and they are sitting at home and hoping for it to end soon ..
This is making the economic gap between the two sections only wider .
Quarantine was not done properly , it is not the solution. People will soon starve and won't be able to pay of bills . With the loans from colleges and schools , kids will be deprived of a good future.
Soon enough if the Quarantine does not end , Corona virus won't kill us , but the economic situation will . Therefore I urge all of you to stay home and practice good hygiene. So that we are able to control the breaking economic crisis which is bigger than the Corona virus.
What are your thoughts ? Please feel free to share.

I agree. The quarantine is the unfortunate event that have ever happen because of the quarantine people are tend to stay home because of the implementing lockdown being implemented by the government to prevent the spread of the virus. Even though it is the unfortunate thing that have ever happen, the quarantine is some how the small step being done by the government to prevent the people from being exposed into the field where the virus might easily spread evenly that would affect a larger number of individuals.
Quarantine is not really a good solution at all but at least by doing such, we can lessen and slow down the rate of spread of the virus to say that we are now in control of the number of cases and death poll being stated on a daily basis worldwide.
Quarantine is not the solution because vaccine or medication is the real cure to end this pandemic. It is hard to admit that small time people are being jobless but the government is not letting them to be alone just like in our country that supports the needs of the people being affected due to the lockdown together with the private sectors and donations from groups of people, starving people are being fed because admit it or not, even quarantine is not a great solution, it is the only way we can have as for now but we can surpass this if we will work on hand on hand supporting each other to survive this challenge until this crisis ends.
Lockdown and quarantine has caused financial crisis to most people especially in Africa where most of the people fall within lower and middle income. These people survive on their daily earnings hence once they skip that daily business means no food on the table. Governments have to supply some of these people with food. Example is what is happening in Ghana.
even USA and EUROPE are affected Badly of this virus,Imagine in US alone there are million infections and hundred thousands death.But i am sudden what African People are facing now because the economy in Africa is really falling and what more with this COVID effect.

Across the world due to lockdown the economic activity has taken hit and due to which many industries have started to remove the workforce to an extent. This is causing a huge problem to worker as they do not have any job now. Also, daily wage earner could not even get the food to eat due to financial constraint.

So, the best thing they can do is this quarantine. What worries me most is that despite the lockdown and everything, the virus keeps on spreading. Most countries are thinking about fully relaxing the curfew restrictions so that people start working to get food and everything. Underdeveloped countries do not have any other options except lifting out the lockdown restrictions.
Some governments are so greedy these times. I heard that some provinces in our country are extending their ECQ so that they will receive money from the government. It is said that places under ECQ receive money from the government, hence extending ECQ means receiving more money. I am not saying that all of them are like that but there are some. Instead of lifting the quarantine slowly to help their people work, they are making it a lot worst.
Same thing is also in my area when the lockdown is enforced, the government will provide assistance with a trial period of 3 months and I think that assistance is not enough in my opinion especially those who are married and children are not allowed to work outside if it has been terminated by the company, now here many people are increasingly worried because they cannot go out to look for work while the government rules have been applied before so in my opinion it is difficult for the community and it seems like there is no good from the government for the people.
If the experts will not find a fully working vaccine provably we will struggle since day by day the number of infected is increasing and the lockdowns will prolong for sure many are suffering from hunger right now, but what I found in my country is the online transactions/selling is increasing and many people shift to sell goods to earn money despite on lockdown by the help of motorcycle services in apps or in kind, maybe your fellow countrymen should look after this since if everyone will be innovative for sure they will pass the quarantine with food in mouth.
There are lots or various online business that you can really try out on this quarantine period not just only watching yourself to go hungry as your supply keeps depleting every single day or just basically depending on your governments aide or support then it would really be worth if you do try out this businesses as well.If other can do it then you can do it of course.
Online selling had become the norm now since people cant go outside and people do need essentials which are on demand now which means if you do cater out such service then that would really generate up some income.
I know this thing wont fit out for every people but theres no hard for us to try because if we wont then its really hard to sustain in case this
lockdown or ecq would go further.
100% true. I know quite a number of people that have lost their jobs in my area due to the fact that their employers are trying to cut cost and the buisness is not that up and doing to move activities online. I just hope all this ends soonest so we can all go back to our normal lives

This is because during lockdown, people start panicking and come out in crowds to buy essentials. It should have been done in Jan while many countries got alert only in March.

It seems to be improving in some areas so let's hope this nightmare all ends soon for the better. Best to stay optimistic.
OP is a bit confusing, you say that the quarantine wasn't done right, and the next thing you're saying that they should stay home. Seriously, what do you stand for? Or are you trying to say that the government is not supporting or what exactly? The action they took is what they are meant to do, they shouldn't let people to continue walking the street and keep spreading the virus, that would be really dangerous and should be avoided, sadly they didn't avoid it early.

That is why the government needs to step in.
We shouldn't rely too much on the government that we end up doing nothing for ourselves, we need to find ways to make sure that we can put food on the table, the government focuses on utilitarian policies and that is the reason that they are having a hard time to decide what to do to prevent tipping the scale that will lead to chaos. We people should learn to fend for ourselves at the time of crisis. This is the most overlooked problem by the masses because they are theone causing it and you know what they say, people are blind for their causes. And what would people do when they can't go out like this?
I do know that we should not always rely on it, I just said that the government needs to step up. Despite that, what can people do these days? They can't even go to work? What do you want them to do? Invest? Not all of the people in quarantine can do that. Start a business? Really? People don't have a choice but to either rely on themselves or rely on the people that give help. If you will always rely on yourself, you can be lost, you don't always need to rely on yourself because that would tire in the long run and would end up in a bad position.
Yup, it doesn't really mean that we should rely to them all the time, but we can't also deny that they have the power to make things easy this times. Just like what @Janation said, there are people who are not in the position to fend for themselves, they need help and whose job is it to protect and help the people? They are in their position to provide for the people. The thing about "we should provide for our self" thinking is that it isn't applicable to everyone, I can say it too honestly, but I chose to speak for other people who can't say it. I can't say to those people that they should provide for themselves when they can't just really do anything to fend for themselves. Its always good to provide for our self and there's nothing wrong in relying to the government too because they can provide policies, laws, programs, etc. that will help struggling people in a certain country.
To some people who leave their homes for work, the quarantine and lockdown is an unfortunate event. To others who are into online businesses like ecommerce, dropshipping, shopify, crypto etc, it is a fortunate event.
I feel that, and you are correct, I am glad that my job is online and I can still earn despite of this pandemic. However for people within the family, most of them are still going to work for their job, otherwise, they will not survive to buy the basic needs, they just need to be extra careful not to get infected with covid as it will certainly make our entire family get infected as well.
Personally, lockdown has helped me to maximize my shopify skills and other online businesses. Now, lots of attention has shifted to these niche because of the quarantine.
I am not into shopify, but I find the dropshipping business attractive just recently. maybe I will give time to study more about it, and hopefully I can use my free time to be productive by educating myself about it.
