The Swings of my pandemic life


This pandemic has changed our lives. Our daily routine has changed drastically. Its not just about one country. The change that it has forced is global in nature.  People are now stuck at homes. Working from home mostly. However, there are people who are working from fields and are directly involved with this disease. These people are NHS workers.


While others with different jobs are now sitting at home and are waiting for this whole situation to change. But one should be reminded, that this situation won’t change. It will take time.
People who are stuck at home are consuming more and more content online. By reading stuff related to corona and watching movies, shows and documentaries to kill time. One of the problems is also the fear that people will start saving money and cut all unnecessary expenses because the economic future is quite uncertain for now.


There are some countries who have gotten the situation well under control and are now on the verge of resuming their normal routines by allowing personals to go and work from their offices and take their children to schools and do whatever they were doing before covid situation but with some SOPs that must be followed in order to avoid 2nd and 3rd wave of this pandemic.


Economic situation globally is very unclear.  Economist have predicted the impact of this pandemic on economies and are scared of how things will be post pandemic. Some businesses flourished while some were taken away or went bankrupted.


Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos issued a statement saying:

“The COVID-19 crisis is devastating for many industries, including the creative community. Almost all television and film production has now ceased globally — leaving hundreds of thousands of crew and cast without jobs. These include electricians, carpenters, and drivers, many of whom are paid hourly wages and work on a project-to-project basis. This community has supported Netflix through the good times, and we want to help them through these hard times, especially while governments are still figuring out what economic support they will provide.”
