As what we already faced, almost all country have been suffered because of covid-19. The number of infected keep growing and also the death toll increased every day.
Some of you maybe doubt about the existence of covid-19 virus, but the effect may come after us. Lots of company have been closed, lots of bussiness went bankrupt, is even harder to just wait for the recovery process.
IMF and World bank predict that lot countries will have recession, and the economy fall. Well in case of recession happen to your country, what will you do to safeguard you and your family economy, so that you all can survive?

Great idea. It will take some times until the world figure out the vaccines. Yet nothing will be the same.

@Belalangtempur69 No quarantine here, people are free to go out. Not even mask or social distancing are enforced though the police do forced big gathering of more than 20 people to disperse.

@JohnKu well that should be a concern, people should use mask when they go outside. At least that will minimize the chance of being infected.

I follow my own inner knowing of when to go out and what to do its my best guide.
Here its one day seems to go forward and twenty steps back by the afternoon and its really true what they give out in the media has people really confused.
Lots of jobs lost here and no reassurance from anyone of any kind.

I only take ten minutes at the most to follow it all a bit and then keep away from it the rest of the day.

The media doesn't really help, they keep spreading fear instead of positivity.

Yes, the effect is way beyond my imagination. When there is zero case in my country, everything is fine. But then many case appears and the company that i working for is affected, we no longer can export. Half of our company worker become jobless.

@Janet357 better move it to the state bank, reduce the amount slowly. Don't do it all at one, the bank wouldn't allow it or atleast make it harder for you.

Well if the bank is a state bank, i think it should be fine because the state will guarantee that it won't went bankrupt. If it a private bank, then you should pay a concern. The reputation of the bank and the insurance company pay for itself, most of them already passed some crisis.

They say when the neighbour loses his job it is recession. When we lose the job it is depression.

Yup, surely. But we need to stand together with our community, keep the cashflow around.

The only solution is for the government to help and support small businesses.
What I do to help the community of business people is to support locally made products. I buy only from them and currently avoid buying imported ones.
I am blessed not to be severely affected by this but it's not something that I should feel complacent about. I am just grateful that we are not hungry and we still have food to eat on our table.
