Changes After COVID-19 -Several Thoughts
Of the many problems that beset
the world and mankind, epidemics are one. Through the centuries the world has
seen and suffered from many pandemics, and the years 2020 and 2021 have also
their quota of hardships in the form of Coronavirus calamity. Epidemics have
happened in the past, so when the novel coronavirus first made an entry as a
New Year guest at the beginning of 2020, none of us would have thought in our
wildest dreams that it was going to have this much impact on the whole world.
As a general rule, all epidemics are dangerous, resulting in loss of life and
property. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our life and daily routines in many
ways. Even a single sphere of life would be left unaffected. Many words that
were not very popular before the COVID-19 era are common words of today.
Lockdown, quarantine, social distancing, telemedicine consultation, work from
home, etc. are among them.
Accept Circumstances and Banish Fear
The pandemic has not only forced us to adopt new habits but also taught us numerous social lessons. Though the fear of this pandemic is well-founded, the optimistic fact is that the pandemic can be controlled by maintaining cleanliness, keeping social distance, and wearing a face mask. Coronavirus has spread to all corners of the world in gigantic proportions and the fear of the pandemic is well-founded. The speed and scope of the present contagion have left the world reeling under its brutal impact.
How Prepared is the Medical Sector to
Deal with Corona Virus?
The year 2020 has taught us many
hard truths. The coronavirus has spread to all corners of the world and our
scientists are utilizing all avenues to find a possible cure for this pandemic.
No adjectives would do any justice to the greatness of scientists, doctors, and
health workers. Leaving no stone unturned, our doctors and scientists are
delving into every culture's folk remedies as well as the latest developments
in science to help find a safe and effective vaccine for this pandemic. Let us
hope, that this will be accomplished in the immediate future without any delay, and
coronavirus may be eradicated from the face of the world. Luckily, there is
good news emerging from the medical field, seven different vaccines have been
rolled out in countries and more than 200 additional vaccine candidates are in
development.
The first reason why masks and
sanitizers should play an important role in the battle against corona is that
they expand the awareness of the cleanliness of individuals and society as a whole.
How many of you know, that fashion can be used for anything, not only for dress and
hairstyles but also for masks too? In fashion nothing is eternal, here
everything changes fast, likewise in the case of masks. Different kinds
and types of masks are available in the market. From homemade cloth masks to
T-shirt masks, cloth masks with filters, Disposable surgical masks, cone-styled
masks, and N95, KN 95. Today Masks are available in different colors, shapes,
sizes, and types.
Post-COVID Life-Several Thoughts
Global extreme poverty is expected
to rise high because of the disruption caused by COVID-19. In the immediate
future, the pandemic may push millions into poverty. According to a recent
study, the pandemic and global recession may cause over 1.4% of the world’s
population to fall into extreme poverty. To reverse this serious
setback to development progress, countries will need to
prepare a different economy post-COVID with new skills and innovations. Without
any doubt, we can say that the COVID-19-induced financial crisis took its toll
on almost all business ventures.
In the wake of the COVID-19 restrictions, many of our festivals are celebrated online. The advantage of
going digital is that the festivals have a worldwide audience. The COVID-19-led lockdown has compelled several people to diversify into areas of work that
weren’t their core focus, according to the latest survey. There was a sudden
increase in the sales of home sewing machines and mobile phones. Many of our
housewives have taken up sewing either as a hobby or to make a living. Those
who have enough time, pick up sewing as a creative outlet or to fight against
stress by making masks and PPE kits.
Welcome Changes in Life
The COVID-19 pandemic has
amplified the influence of technology in our day-to-day lives. Even amidst this
worse condition, technology enables us to stay within the safety of our homes.
IT professionals are enabled to work without considering the distance between
the workplace and their place of residence. Since they have work from home
facility, they can feel less stressed out and more comfortable without the
presence of their immediate boss.
All those who complained about
lack of time to spend with family or personal time with themselves,
fortunately, got an overdose of it. Though COVID-19 has brought many hardships
to people, the silver lining is the restoration of reading habits. Online learning is a blessing in disguise for the smartphone industry. The smartphone
segment rebounded after the lockdown to touch the highest peak in sales.
Because of the fear of pandemics, with customers barely walking in, many
businesses were forced to shut down. However, a few managed to survive and
moved to online marketing. Today we live in a time where we can buy anything
online, Online grocery has seen a surge in recent months.
People have become more
health-conscious, and much importance has been given to cleanliness, hand washing, adequate
sleep, good food, balanced meals, and meditation. After remaining closed to the public
for several months owing to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, tourist centers are
set for re-opening. The tourism industry is also embracing this change with
wide open arms. Another thing the coronavirus taught us is that if we give a
little gap and time nature can heal quickly, the clear evidence is that during
the lockdown period, the ozone layer started healing itself and the quality of
air has improved.
