 Reflection

The outbreak of corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an unpredictable happening

that lives and businesses of the people from different countries put at risk. A lot of people
are not prepared for this, even the government. Also, because of this pandemic, cities
from almost all over the world are put into lockdown to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Since this type of virus can be easily transferred from one person to another, it was
advised to close the cities, so that there would be no mass gathering around the cities.

However, this type of precautionary measure put most of the businesses into an
end. Business personnel were forced to close their businesses or establishments because
of the lockdown and for their employee’s safety as well. It just not affects the businesses,
but also the life of the employees and other people who will not be able to get paid
because they don’t have a job.

For me, there are still ways in order to earn and that is to work from home. I think
this is the best way that an employer or people who are working in the corporate world
can do for his employees while the cities are on lockdown.

For other citizens, just like the IMF chief said “governments should consider
measures like cash transfers, wage subsidies or tax relief”. It’s time for the government to
take actions; a lot of people lost their jobs as this pandemic continues to spread
worldwide. Lockdown is also one big effect for a person who needs a job. During this
time, the government should release funds for these people, to support their food and
other daily needs. Also, for me, for the landlords and other billing institutions, I guess
they should stop monitoring the rents and bills of the lessees and their customers for the
mean time.

Since a lot of institutions are not well prepared for this kind of situation, the
International Organizations like the IMF and World Bank should help and support
countries and other health organizations to fight corona virus, so that countries would not
be on crisis.
