Covid 19; A blessing to your income or a pain?

[DragonF]

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.

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.

I feel you mate, I also lost one of my relatives during that time of the pandemic. Though whether we like it or not pandemic is inevitable so we should be prepared for it and we should be more careful this time because we already have learned from that crisis.

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?

covid 19 altered my sex life in a very noticeable way. it is much better now than it was.

as for economy covid 19 has been a bit hurtful and or negative.

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.

My wife lost a cousin to it.

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.

[Kemarit]

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.

Yeah true. Those smart minded people who finds solutions to the problems of the society especially in pandemic really has earned decent or even huge amount of profit that time and made them very successful.

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. What happens is that they do it inhumanely, when many people need it just to save their lives, but the price is very high and even very difficult to obtain and many hold onto their goods to look for an even higher price.
Indeed, the situation is difficult to control. The government alone cannot do anything about actions taken by entrepreneurs like this. So sad ...........

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.
