Pandemic Crisis

People almost all over the world are affected on this pandemic covid 19 virus. The most that is being hit is the economic sector. I am one of those affected millions. My life before this pandemic was hit in our country was fine. However, it all started to stumble down when lockdown strictly imposed for about 3 to 4 months in our country. Recently, I am still looking for whatever opportunities online to support my essential needs. On the contrary, there were few who did not affected but mostly did. What solutions have you done if you have been also affected with this crisis?

I was not having difficulty with financial back then but two months ago I was infected that really affected me and my savings badly. I think that everyone is struggling over something.

@hereandthere My company offered to pay a portion of the bill but under loan. They will just deduct it next year. From government agencies, I tried to submit to our local government office and I do not know if they will pay me something.

It is very hard. I am sorry you are struggling. My family was much affected, too. I do my part in the mask wearing, social distancing, etc. as much as possible. I want this to end, and so many just blow it off as a hoax. Sad.

You're right..at the stage of survival mode. It is okay and a little bit better if you have a stable source of income. In my case it's nothing as in zero... Crawling to survive... So sad and disappointing...

Once the numbers get down, we can still operate but following the guidelines. If people follow the guidelines the impact won't be so bad.
