Global Economy

Life is going to get a lot more difficult for some people in the days ahead.

My family and I are all staying well so far. I too hope it lasts. My daughter has to worry and I am helping her financially, as she is self employed and this is of course hurting her business.I am retired with although not huge income, it's steady income and I don't have to worry about working. My son and daughter in law work for the government and continue to work at home. My son already worked from home anyway. I worry about my daughter in law's parents catching the virus because they aren't being careful enough about social gatherings. They're senior citizens like me, and you have to be SO careful. I hope you and you loved ones stay well, too. I sure hope they start sending out more stimulus soon. My daughter and millions of others like her are having such a hard time.

So far my family is still ok and hopefully we will all survive economically during this trying times.

The thing we are worried about is food and whether it will start dwindling again in the future. Financially we will be okay, and we can easily go without things if necessary. I know that's not the same for everybody.

I've been worried for some time now about how this is all going to affect the world economy, and our own local economy. The recent jobs report that was just released here in the US did offer a small glimmer of hope, as millions of new jobs were added in June, a slow start to what I hope is a long recovery.

My family is okay, too. I hope the virus will get away soon.

We are all still fine, I think being " still fine " gives us more time to stock up and prepare incase something more catastrophic falls upon us these coming months.

My brother and I are okay. I'm retired and he is still working.

Glad everyone in your family is ok, my family is ok too.I do hope this is over soon.

I'm ok. I hope the virus goes away soon.

Currently we are OK but if remain for long then very problamtic situation comes and people will start robbery and crime.

We definitely need to reopen businesses but practice strict social distancing and wear masks. Unfortunately, there are some who will not follow these simple guidelines endangering many others, spreading the virus, and delaying the process of reopening. This places a hardship on small business owners who need to return to work to survive.

You are right. As far as my husband and I are concerned, we are okay as my husband works and we have no kids. But am worried of my mom because no hospital admits her because of her covid. I hate this year.

It is a huge worry. I try to keep my mind on nature. If not I would be crazy. Not good for many business owners either.

Is your country doing anything to help you? Our country, Trump administration pretty much said screw the virus,we do not care. Congress was talking about doing a 2nd stimulus package.I was like I did not get the first one and apparently neither did 35 million Americans.My brother was telling me they thinking of only doing it for businesses and not people because they are not working and they do not deserve any help. I think maybe they did not need to be elected to congress to to get their 1 to 2 hundred thousand dollar paycheck and all the free health care that everyday Americans will never see. What happened to this country? Its so sad. Over do mortgages are starting to be reported, oh this is when crap hits the fan, when people cannot pay for their place to live is how economy collapsed last time. Thank you government.

Glad that your whole family are all right so far ! We are fine too.

We are some of the lucky ones. There are many out there that have lost their jobs and businesses and can't put food on the table or pay their bills.

My husband and I are OK. There are a lot of people that are not OK and struggling.

It's a tough time for the entire world.

I read many multinational companies has closed down. Many stores and fired many of their workers. The OECD has predicted that global economic growth is at a level of minus 6 per cent. I am very lucky to hang on in the hardest situation and we should always think about the future of our health too to survive.
