Title: Covid 19; A blessing to your income or a pain?
Post by: Nimix on March 15, 2021, 05:21:06 AM
Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been privileged to hear and listen to people talk about what has become of the economy.

Some see the pandemic period as a blessing, and some see it as a pain.

A lot got more rise in their economy while some drastic fall.

What's your experience? Did you gain more during this period or you recorded loss?

I feel bad because people are dying almost every day, including people that I know  :'(. I'm an IT technician so 90% of my work I will do anywhere through a laptop, so pandemic is not a problem to me in the economy sector but I just feel bad because of the deaths and those whose economy has been affected.

Of course, you earned more than in the last few years. Where's all the money that was printed in the pandemic?
Exactly, a lot of it is invested in crypto. And what about the money you wanted to spend on holiday? Also, already invested.
If you are not the gambler type and have invested your investments correctly then you have earned the golden nose, as we say so beautifully.
My profits in crypto have increased tenfold in one year, I have created a value that corresponds to my 3-year salaries. Still growing

And I work in the hospital with COVID-19 patients.

Because the Covid 19 pandemic has greatly affected my income. My income has decreased a lot because of the number of jobs that have been postponed and even stopped, due to social restrictions. But I didn't give up on finding money to support my family. I hope this Covid 19 pandemic will pass quickly and conditions improve as before.

I feel very bad because so many people are dying every day.  I know these people too I am an IT technician so 95% of me so I will work anywhere through laptop work, so the epidemic is not a problem for me in the economy sector but I feel very bad for those who have died and whose economy has been affected.

I really appreciate what you are doing with the action of not having to give up hope in addressing the pandemic problem that is happening because everything must continue with or without a pandemic, because the necessities of life must not stop at all, otherwise we will create another new problem, namely hunger. so keep the spirit as long as with a good cause there will be an open way.

It wasn’t really a blessing to my income (because luckily I was still able to go on working like nearly nothing happened), but now that everything started to get back to normality again I realize that I was able to save a lot money during the pandemic. I spent way less on eating outdoors for example or on other leisure activities (as they were all cancelled). Now that nearly everything is possible to be done normally I have way higher costs than a few months ago. I still need to figure out how to balance I guess :P

I would say it is a pain, hope it is temporary. It is a pain, because the prices on everything jumped up. My main expenses are utility bills and fuel. Both of them gained 50% during last 4-6 months. Even with a little support from government, expenses are still perceptible.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic happened 3 years ago, it resulted in nothing but loss of lives. Nobody will say that the Covid-19 disease is a blessing to him/ her. The outbreak of it caused a lot of havoc, some people lost their jobs and loved ones lives. And some were sent to isolation centers, therefore keeping them away from loved ones, most people couldn't travel because a lot of things were kept at a standstill. Even those who made lots of money through the sales of nose masks, hand gloves, sanitizer, lab coats, and others can't say is a blessing when their family, state, and country are in pain. COVID-19 is a curse, not a blessing to humanity as far as everyone is concern

I don't think that the pandemic did any good to anyone because there was lock down, and people were prevented from carrying out their daily duties. Some people lost their loved ones and some lost their jobs and they were unable to put food on their table. The government of every country ran at lost and since then, the economy of many countries have never been stable. While some countries economy was crashed by the pandemic. High inflation rate and lack of job opportunities increased. Whoever benefited from Covid 19 must be a greedy and corrupt person because it means that he has used the money that was donated to relief people from hunger to enrich himself during this pandemic period.

Frankly, I find it hard to imagine for whom the global COVID19 pandemic has become a trigger for regular enrichment. I can judge from my own country, where COVID19 has also greatly affected the lives of the entire population.
Perhaps some not very honest people managed to make money in the short term, for example, through speculative sale of protective masks, antiseptics, etc. But within 2-3 months the market was saturated with a huge amount of the same goods, already at a competitive price. So the benefit was short-term. But the global problem in the country's economy - it reminded of itself for a very long time. So the conclusion is: short-term benefit was probably in some isolated cases, but in general - the consequences of the pandemic had negative manifestations, and long-term ones at that

It's hard because I lost my job during the pandemic and it was difficult to find jobs at that time, but it is still a blessing because I was able to find a job after a few months of struggle, and guess what? It's remote work, so I shift from the office to remote work, and I don't need to have a budget for transportation as I only need to pay for my internet. It is a blessing in disguise as the other door closes, there will be a new and better door open, which is where I am working now.

I tried to prevent hearing or talking about what COVID 19 brings to our life because really it is a nightmare everyone hates to flashback .

But since this is already here then lets tackle a little.

COVID19 taken my JOb , my Cousin and my favorite Uncle   , this is what the virus taken from me/us .

hurting and drowning in the last couple of years so that is something majority hates to remember.

But now i come to a solution and use what i felt before as a instrument to make my life better now and that is to invest more in crypto .

That is just right many traders and investors encountered positive bias while some faced negative biased during the the convid19 pandemic in the sense that some took the medium as as advantage to excessively over hiked their goods and products to make double profits also considered as a caused of taxes being remitted to the pandemic regulator officers including to some of the influential governments bodies so that they could have the executive order of permission to proceed on their ventures instead of seating at home of isolations where all ventures where asked to shutdown as others does by law abiding as instructed by the pandemic authorities and on the process the financial consumers feces the wraths of the situation

There is nothing that has ever shape human civilization like the internet, not like there has never been a pandemic before but because there is internet, everyone was informed unlike back then when there was cholera outbreak and chicken pox but a lot people don't even know what was even happening talk more of looking for a place to take advantages. When Covid 19 came, everyone was literally getting information at real time and that was why many traders had advantage of the market but some people lost as well.

People losses weren't only financial, people lost lives because of the same pandemic and people loss lives because there was no food to eat, some people lost means of their live hood because of their means of making money is public gathering and pandemic stopped all that from happening. Some people died because of tension as many people were predicting the end of the world, so many things happened during the Covid but thank God it's all over now.

I could say it was a pain. It was a pain due to the increased in the commodity and limitation of movement. I am a salary earner. No support from the government. The expenses were much. You could not avoid them.

Hmmm, I don’t want to always remember those moments because it was a hard time for me as a pure water seller and one who always want to earn a living and put food on my table so as to satisfy myself, my family and those close to me who find it difficult to eat and there family, So it was a harsh days for me, but we thank God for His mercy because we are alive while some people lost there love ones due to hunger and sickness.

Many people were not spared from the event, and it was not just hardship that many people ended up having to return from 0 when it happened. This was something that could not have been foreseen, because it happened so quickly in just a few months that the economy collapsed.

But I look at the positive side, because if I only look at the negative side I think everyone can't avoid it. This is a very valuable lesson for our future lives, so we can have the thought that something unthinkable might happen suddenly like this event. The point is that we must remain prepared for the worst.

I don't want to remember the horrors of Corona because I lived a very poor life at that time because I lost my job when the whole world was in shutdown/lockdown.  I was completely disoriented after losing my job.  However, some money and food I saved helped me to survive a year of hardship.  But after Corona I took a job in a private firm and now I am in a good position with my family.  The terrible picture of Corona will remind me for the rest of my life.

For some other people it is a blessing most specifically to those who made millions during pandemic because of their success in business but for me personally it is a pain and then a super typhoon hit us hard after that pandemic so I am totally screwed up that time as we got double damage.

For me, I will say the both because I experienced both blessings and pain in different ways, because then I was working for someone and I was getting a lot of money from people aside my salary but once the COVID-19 enter, I was not getting money again, because there was no much people coming around again, the only blessings I was receiving then, is that I was time for myself, time to be around my friends and family, time to be online and know what is actually going on and also to listen to news, so these are my reasons why COVID-19 is both a blessing and a pain to my source of income.

There is always something that can be learned from every problem that exists. As you experienced, it is not impossible that when COVID hit, many, like you and me, could not do any activities because I was a cormobid and needed to rest at home to avoid transmission. because it could be fatal. because almost every time there is quite sad news about this pandemic, but what I regret is that there are those who profit from the suffering experienced by many people just for a mask, which can cost hundreds of times the usual price and is a rare item to find.I hope something like this doesn't happen again, and it's really sad.

That's a good point, there's always something good behind bad events. Sometimes we focus too much on the bad and don't see the positive side of what happened to us, it makes us think that we are the unluckiest person in life.

Even though if we look at the events at that time, many people are more difficult than us. The problem is that as long as it happens we never think about the positive side which makes us, especially me, feel so down.

But after going through all that, I just realized that now there are many good things that I can get from what happened during that time.

This is not just about Covid alone, it's everywhere. Just know that in every hardship that masses face, there is a group of people that enjoy the privilege it presents to people. Even in war, when people are crying that there is massacre and people dying, there is one particular person enjoying wealth gather from selling machin guns, weapons and bombs, that's how life work and that's how we have been living it.

Funny thing is, we might have some people that are still praying to have again the situation of Covid so they can still make money like they did before, they don't care about what people face, as long as they are happy, then they are good to go.

Yeah war is also a good example here aside from the pandemic because  business minded oligarch love this thing. War is a never ending problem around the world and it also mean a never ending profits to all warmonger.

Yeah, I can even see over priced products during pandemic and people has no choice but buy because they need it to survive. Business is business they don't care about conscience that is why that pandemic is an eye opener for us to prepare for something like that situation in the future.

In every problem, there will always be two opposing sides, so it's true that every time something happens that we didn't do anything about, of course there is something we can learn from because avoiding it can actually end up providing something positive.You are right that we feel that the events we experience are heavier than those of other people, but it is not always the hardest thing. There are even more things that we experience, but we don't actually give thanks for that we still feel the same. most disadvantaged, not seeing the better side.

Some other people have taken advantage of the recent pandemic happened around the world, they see it as an opportunity to start their own businesses. Unlike to those other people who have blamed the government and allowed the pandemic to make their lives miserable, you make use of this chance to move forward. We have all been affected by this pandemic, and unfortunately, other people have let it defeat them, making them unable to recover.

Not a few of them feel pressured by difficulties but are able to escape and from these difficulties with innovations that are successfully carried out and accepted by society, but there are also many who cannot enjoy it like that, because of other limitations and have tried but have not succeeded because society does not accept what they did.
So be grateful for being able to escape hardship because hard work that can produce results may not necessarily be done by others and this is certainly an unexpected exception.
In the end, everyone has a different destiny. It's just a matter of whether they can use that opportunity as best as possible. Congratulations to those who can escape the crush of hardship because of their persistence

There are actually three types of people during a crisis one is the blame shifter second is this panic person and third is this optimistic one so you might be one of these or even me but yeah depends upon the situation and preferences. But optimistic people will likely have a higher chance to survive in this situation because they are smart enough to find ways and create a solution to solve an existing problem that sometimes lead them into success even in the midst of a crisis.

Intention and optimism will clearly give we more confidence than others, agreeing that those who are always optimistic will always be able to solve every problem and create opportunities that others don't have. because those who are optimistic will think ahead with good analysis, are smart in placing situations, and can resolve things better. so that in the midst of whatever problems we will experience, let alone a crisis, we will be able to solve them well and test them, thereby achieving success rather than being apathetic.

Yeah exactly. I know we have all the struggle in life but not all people are smart in this kind of situation and only few will excel in utilizing their skills and smartness that will make them survive, productive and profitable even in the worst case scenario. Preppers will always knew this kind of thing because this is the skill they are honing in preparation for something like when shtf happens.

Intention and optimism will clearly give we more confidence than others, agreeing that those who are always optimistic will always be able to solve every problem and create opportunities that others don't have. because those who are optimistic will think ahead with good analysis, are smart in placing situations, and can resolve things better. so that in the midst of whatever problems we will experience, let alone a crisis, we will be able to solve them well and test them, thereby achieving success rather than being apathetic.
Yeah exactly. I know we have all the struggle in life but not all people are smart in this kind of situation and only few will excel in utilizing their skills and smartness that will make them survive, productive and profitable even in the worst case scenario. Preppers will always knew this kind of thing because this is the skill they are honing in preparation for something like when shtf happens.
Indeed, everyone is not destined to be smart and that is a normal thing, but in order to survive, they will certainly do whatever they can with the skills they have. Even though they are not intelligent, by being willing to look and observe well, it is certain that everyone who has a mind will be able to differentiate, So that you don't get worse or if you make a mistake, you won't make a mistake again. Once again, everything is returned to the individual to be able to reveal the shortcomings they don't have but can be exploited to be more useful.

Yeah maybe because that is part of the human instincts. But lazy people don't bother using this into something that might give them positive outcome in life. We can't blame these kind of people because it is their choice but they might regret in the future for missing the opportunities they been wasted today.

During a crisis situation if a specific individual is lazy there is a huge possibility he won't survive but the only problem with laziness is that they will find the easiest way for them to survive and that will include either doing good or bad.

In my case I did better, as I continued with my main job and earned more money online. Combined with the fact that I spent much less, the result was an improvement in my finances. But I would not do it again. As an experience it is good to remember but I hope that nothing like it will ever happen again.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been privileged to hear and listen to people talk about what has become of the economy.

Some see the pandemic period as a blessing, and some see it as a pain.

A lot got more rise in their economy while some drastic fall.

What's your experience? Did you gain more during this period or you recorded loss?
During the pandemic they are people that the pandemic favored, and their people that they did not favored. Every tough  season comes with an opportunity when critically looked into it. For example during the pandemic there are people who made a lot of money, at least I know some persons who made a lot of money during the pandemic and we were praying for the pandemic not to go why because that was their season were they make a lot of money based on the current economic situation of this country there people who are okay the way the economy is going why because of the money they are making.

It's clear that getting what you had before you stopped because of Covid is certainly not easy, because you have to search again and the need to work must be done immediately. If you wait for something that suited you in the past, it might take more time. But be happy if you can still work again, because many ends up not being able to get a job because they don't have the special skills that are really needed.
There is always a lesson to be gained from all these incidents and hopefully there will be no more incidents like Covid in the future.

COVID 19 became a blessing for me in disguise. I wasn't working yet I was been paid. With that, I had good savings since I don't spend on transport and other expenses which comes with coming to work. After the COVID, I used the savings to start up a laundry and salon business and that still fetches me good income till date.

Not all of them are the same as each other because of the impact of covid, you are one of those who can successfully use the opportunity in the covid situation for the business you are doing, but there are quite a few who are also successful like you, but there are also quite a few who cannot recover from the downturn due to the impact of covid. Finally, they had to stop working and until now they have not been able to return to work. Indeed, fate is different and the impact of the covid is extraordinary, hopefully this is the last thing to happen on this earth.

COVID-19 is both a pain and a blessing in disguise.

Pain, because some people lost their loved ones due to Covid and I can't imagine how much pain they felt during those days.
Imagine losing someone during a pandemic where some of your family are not around and won't be able to visit the wake due to some restrictions. I just can't imagine it. Pluuus, some of the people lost their jobs.

However, for some people, it is a blessing in disguise, since all businesses are closed, so the busy people get their quality time during the pandemic and spend their time with their loved ones instead. And some people find online jobs.

So I can say that it is both a pain and a blessing in disguise.

I can relate to this. I lost a close friend to covid and I am still finding it so difficult to overcome the lose. My experience with covid is such that I cannot forget in a hurry. Like I earlier noted, I lost my job coupled with losing a friend. I don't pray for such a pandemic to befall humanity again.

You can be sure that those who directly experience it will certainly experience trauma that cannot disappear in just an instant, especially the loss of relatives and friends due to Covid
Of course, it will continue to leave an impression and cannot be forgotten. Moreover, you also have to lose your job because of this impact, which, of course, creates an additional problem that you have to face in life.
I myself, who was not directly affected and had to protect myself strictly, still experienced very deep trauma because of the fear that haunted me every moment.
Hopefully a situation like this will not happen again and that is enough, because it causes many problems.

The same thing happens to me. One of my colleagues in crypto, is one of those people who introduced Bitcoin to me, teaching me a lot of things and those I need to do and such. The sad thing is, since that time, we have been unable to go outside and there's been no update on his social media accounts for more than 6 months. That is when we know that he already passed away.

We were not given a chance to at least go to visit him, aside from that, even if we knew it early the situation made it hard as we were in a locked-down situation.

Most of us has been affected and devastated by the pandemic and I do hope that it won't come again even if the chances is high. Those years was just a loss for most of us but for other lucky and smart people they made millions during that time.

I think majority of us was really affected by the pandemic, majority of us loss a love one a friend, someone we know and that's really devastated the whole world. But for those of us who survived, we should continue to go and move forward. That is life, we might not want what we have seen with the pandemic, but as humans, we are resilience, we should press on and continue to live and let us enjoy the memories of the loved ones we lost.

Been years though, and I think by now there are challenges to face, but hopefully there will be no pandemic in the next coming years. And we do hope that everyone is on the road to recovery.

That's right, let it just be a memory, and it won't happen again, because many people have grieved and experienced the loss of people closest to them and also lost their livelihoods and many have fallen down and can't even get up again. You are right that in a situation like that, there are those who can also benefit from selling online, but it is very unfortunate that there are those who take advantage of opportunities in other people's troubles so that they make a profit, if you could say they are looking for opportunities in other people's troubles.

That's the sad reality but you know what, if you are an entrepreneur, you will also do the same thing as those people. It's the same concept as supply and demand, since if people have trouble, they are looking for something they can use. Businessmen are the ones who will provide the people with what they need, and it is part of the business. It's an opportunity for them but it is not some kind of bad thing to do. The bad thing is only when they take advantage of the price like doubling it to the point that some consumers don't afford it.

Yes, the realization and I think the most important is their connections with other people really come in handy as they were able to be the first one to take the first move of finding the right products from the supplier going to the market. They can make a lot of money as the business focuses more on what's in demand.

No one blames them for being entrepreneurs and, of course, the time is very right to make a profit. But it should be done fairly and sensibly.

Yeah I can relate to this they use the pandemic to be opportunistic to other people you might not be killed by the virus but on the prices of products we all need. 😅 Sad reality to be honest but yeah we have no choice, we have to serve that as a lesson so right now I think we need to prepare for all the possible crisis that might come along our path.

That's because of their greediness and I understand your point. There will always be room for greedy people to take advantage of the needs of everyone, especially during a time of need. Just like what happened during the pandemic, the price of all the goods has risen due to those greedy entrepreneurs who set their products at a high value, making it look like we are having a loss in supply to justify the increase in value.

In the end, it only causes a domino effect where all entrepreneurs end up increasing the value of the goods as they get the product with a high value to resell to the public.

Exactly. I think this really has happened that time as I checked something online before buying from our local vendors prices really is quite high and that might also be the reason wh we call those entrepreneurs opportunistic. Hahaha But yeah I prefer to buy that way rather than buying online as risks could be very high as we all know that the virus came from China and items sold online also was manufactured from there so yeah not gonna take that risk. Better to buy locally even if it was double the price.

Yeah I can relate to this they use the pandemic to be opportunistic to other people you might not be killed by the virus but on the prices of products we all need. 😅 Sad reality to be honest but yeah we have no choice, we have to serve that as a lesson so right now I think we need to prepare for all the possible crisis that might come along our path.
there is nothing that forbids seeking profit when it is appropriate, but they can always be wise in the difficulties that are experienced equally where everyone is affected.
I agree, an incident like that will be a lesson for the future. If something similar happens, then it can be anticipated well. But it is very unfortunate that the role of the government, which has the highest authority, is to let this happen and not be able to act at all. unfortunately, the people are helpless in trouble.

No one blames them for being entrepreneurs and, of course, the time is very right to make a profit. But it should be done fairly and sensibly.

I respect your view and this is what is morally correct. But we are living in a world where everyone is thinking of their own comfort over someone's huger, there is no scale to decide which one is right because everyone has their own justification of doing it. Either we can make changes in the system with the intervention of government policies or just accept it as fate and continue to go with the flow.

Just a saying, No one is coming to save you, we have to do it on our own...

Well yeah exactly. It is also hard to depend on the government aid because it needs a lot of things before you van avail or get all of it. We really have to stand on our own in that kind of situation. I personally experience that during pandemic and I know most of us do on how hard it is to find supllies whether food, medical, and of course funds as jobs are cut off. The rise of heart attack and stroke was up during that time as well because of the fact that most people don't have physical activities on them especially during lockdowns. Health is really at risk and depression is quite common that time and I don't know how we surivive that crisis as me and my family was caught offguard when that happened.
