Positive Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic, Post-Lockdown

 

HELPS YOU BUILD GENUINE RELATIONSHIPS

·        We all have been so busy living the ‘life,’ many of us have lost those real, genuine moments we have with our loved ones. It could have been the busy schedules, running around to make ends meet, & rushing to be in urgent meetings.

·        The COVID-19 situation has positively impacted the way you emote and maintain relationships. You get to spend your time

with your family and plan your work better. This actually helps you build a better future for both your work and family.

ENTIRE LIFESTYLE CHANGES TO PRACTISE BETTER HYGIENE

“Being hygienic is no longer just a good habit, but the very skill you need for survival.”

·        Times have changed, and people are now aware of how important it is to keep yourself clean. As social animals, the very engineering of humans is the ability to emote & connect with fellow beings. That’s not going to change, and that’s something we cannot change. But these recent times have made us all aware of how to do that more hygienically.

 

·        From shaking hands to namaste, we all have had a lifestyle change for the good. We’re going to remember to cover your mouths when we cough, to sanitize our hands after touching anything else because we know what can happen if we don’t

INNOVATIONS TO STAY CONNECTED AND HELP EACH OTHER

·        This quarantine welcomes ideas, hacks, tips, & tricks to beat the lockdowns & help our communities. Companies across the world have started thinking about coming up with product & service ranges that enable you to be as connected as you are with your teams and also your loved ones. Finding creative ways to not let the boredom of four walls get you is the newest trend and rightfully so!

·        This has opened a new way of thought. Organizations cannot just stop functioning altogether, and each is coming up with the ultimate ideas to attract & sustain both their customers & employees.

 

·        This may as well lead to breakthroughs & innovations. Innovation happens for nothing, but when the environment demands it! And let’s wait for the coolest ideas that can take the world by a storm.

 

·        By coolest ideas.. we mean to act right. The wise thing to do now is to remain calm and healthy while looking after each other. One way to further prevent the spread is to conduct surveys and collect valuable information from people.

 

A NEW WAVE OF TOOLS AND SOFTWARE

Companies are in need of online tools & software that can help you make this shift to digital classrooms & virtual office spaces seamless.

 

“This has opened the doors to any applications that let you identify & enhance the workflows & processes that are crucial when you have to run your teams or for teaching/learning digitally.”

·      A major line of tools & software that can help you survive another pandemic or one that can help you work around your established workflows are going to be welcomed.

·      These major lockdowns have ushered organizations & factories to take a step towards the robotic era as a thoughtful move to defend such a pandemic halting the manufacturing industries a second time.

EDUCATION BECOME DIGITIZED AND AFFORDABLE

·        The pandemic had posed a threat to the whole education system. Schools, universities, and colleges have been shut down. Yes, it is saddening but have you looked at the brighter side yet? Educational Institutions have found a way to overcome this immensely challenging series of events. Classes have begun again, thanks to technology.

 

·        Online classes have become the new norm for educational institutions and it has come with a few benefits too.

 

·        Institutions can now save on the infrastructural costs and as a result, the students needn’t bear the brunt of the costs, making it more affordable.

 

·        Moreover, parents will get first-hand knowledge about how classes are taught and can directly understand how their child perceives concepts. As the online education system grows, we can expect an increase in the reach and accessibility of education within every section of the society.

 

 

 

 

        Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic

          On people's livelihood.....!😥

The pandemic has decimated jobs and placed millions of livelihoods at risk. As breadwinners lose jobs, fall ill and die, the food security and nutrition of millions of women and men are under threat, with those in low-income countries, particularly the most marginalized populations, which include small-scale farmers and indigenous peoples, being hardest hit.

Millions of agricultural workers – waged and self-employed – while feeding the world, regularly face high levels of working poverty, malnutrition and poor health, and suffer from a lack of safety and labour protection as well as other types of abuse. With low and irregular incomes and a lack of social support, many of them are spurred to continue working, often in unsafe conditions, thus exposing themselves and their families to additional risks. 

Further, when experiencing income losses, they may resort to negative coping strategies, such as distress sale of assets, predatory loans or child labour. 

Migrant agricultural workers are particularly vulnerable because they face risks in their transport, working and living conditions and struggle to access support measures put in place by governments. Guaranteeing the safety and health of all agri-food workers – from primary producers to those involved in food processing, transport and retail, including street food vendors – as well as better incomes and protection, will be critical to saving lives and protecting public health, people’s livelihoods and food security.

In the COVID-19 crisis food security, public health, and employment and labor issues, in particular workers’ health and safety, converge. Adhering to workplace safety and health practices and ensuring access to decent work and the protection of labor rights in all industries will be crucial in addressing the human dimension of the crisis.

 Immediate and purposeful action to save lives and livelihoods should include extending social protection towards universal health coverage and income support for those most affected.

These include workers in the informal economy and in poorly protected and low-paid jobs, including youth, older workers, and migrants. Particular attention must be paid to the situation of women, who are over-represented in low-paid jobs and care roles. Different forms of support are key, including cash transfers, child allowances and healthy school meals, shelter and food relief initiatives, support for employment retention and recovery, and financial relief for businesses, including micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. In designing and implementing such measures it is essential that governments work closely with employers and workers.

Countries dealing with existing humanitarian crises or emergencies are particularly exposed to the effects of COVID-19. Responding swiftly to the pandemic, while ensuring that humanitarian and recovery assistance reaches those most in need, is critical

 

Loss in Pandemic :

Grief is our emotional response to loss. COVID-19, presents many unique challenges for those who are grieving. Whether there loved one died of complications of coronavirus or through any other means, bereaved persons are now making difficult decisions about funerary services in a time of social distancing, often after experiencing little or no time with their loved one in their final days as a result of new visitation limitations in place at health care and hospice facilities.

Because the coronavirus pandemic is not expected to be resolved in weeks but is projected to intensify and continue for months, it is important that we radically reorient the ways in which we provide support for grieving persons.

 

Benefits of Social Support

Human beings are by nature social creatures. We gather in times of joy and celebration, and we gather in times of pain and tragedy. The impact of social support on the grieving experience is a tremendous one – being supported in one’s unique grief allows the bereaved to work through and make sense of their loss, feel their emotions be validated, and begin to adjust to a world in which the deceased is no longer present.

 

Supporting Grievers in a Pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic has thrust our country into an unsettling and unprecedented reality in real-time. For someone who is experiencing a death loss, the pandemic may greatly impact their grief, whether their loved one died as a result of coronavirus or not. Their expected grief responses may be significantly worsened by the fear, confusion, and anxiety that surround us as a result of this public health crisis. Importantly, social distancing, "stay at home" orders, and rapidly changing guidelines for business closures can put them at risk for not receiving the social support they need in their grief.

When someone we care about, whether a relative, friend or colleague, loses a loved one, we want to demonstrate our support for them. We want to, literally, "show up" for them. Supporting grievers, which is so crucial in ordinary times, cannot be abandoned due to restrictions that may prevent us from being physically present. If someone you love is experiencing a death loss, consider the following strategies for supporting them.

 

"The reality is that you will grieve forever. you will not 'get over' the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. you will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to."
