COVID 19 Impact now and then!

-
COVID 19 pandemic not only is taking our lives but is actually changing our whole life style. Effecting not only our manners and habits but also our whole way of living and earning!
How? lets dig into it thinking together:
Corona Virus

It changed our hygiene habits definitely, using sanitizer was not at all a habit for  many. Now we are very much concern of keeping ourselves sanitized. Wearing mask is a must in this COVID 19 period, but this also has some benefits, pollutants entering our lungs will definitely get minimised. It is a plus point for those especially who have dust allergies, knowing unknowingly statistics show about 10-30% of the world population has dust allergy which is the main cause of our bad health. 
There are also drawbacks of wearing it, wearing mask for a long time may cause bleeding due to friction with our face, also there may be increase in crime rates i.e criminals may take the advantage of the mask. I being a woman have seen molesters generally hide their face with a covering so that the don't get recognised. We are seeing memes being build telling father and son standing in the same line for buying alcohol yet no one recognises one another. At first sight it might sound funny but we know there are bad people also around us. Its a serious issue of concern!
Wearing mask

Another point is we the people who lived our life only to earn and spend, sat back at home taking it as  "Life is the first priority then comes earning and spending". Although many companies are allowing working from home yet their habits have also changed, they will definitely start lagging if they are again told to come to office all of a sudden. After all home is the sweetest and safest place for all of us!

If we look at the use of digital technology: 
  • The in home data usage of smart phones has increased 34% in US as compared to 2019.
  • Use of websites worldwide: Facebook increased 27%, Netflix 16%, Youtube 15.3%
  • Use of apps worldwide: Whatsapp +40%, Facebook +1.1%,  Netflix +0.3%, Youtube -4.5% Tiktok app 15.4%.
  • With the rise of social distancing we are using more video call apps to connect with people. Use of videocall apps worldwide :Google Duo +12.4%, Nextdoor.com  73.3%, Houseparty app +79.4%.
  • Video gaming has overtaken sports:  Twitch.tv +19.7% and ESPN.com -40.2%.

Taking a turn to our finance and business styles, we can very well see that we are more tending towards online shopping to keep themselves safe from the virus contamination. Due to which we have almost built a habit of e-shopping .In the month of April in the Europe and North America Digital sales increased 275%. Online shopping for groceries has increased 400%.

Most important these are the habits we have grown in the COVID 19 period and it is estimated that people are going to carry out these habits post COVID 19 period as a result small business men are going to face drastic loss in sales and suffer financial problems.
So its better for every small or large business men to be upgraded and start using e commerce platform(like Amazon and Flipkart) along with the shops they own to keep their income stable.

Also there is a drastic rise in Digital marketing. Now a days we are seeing a wonderful use of video calls due to social distancing. Brands are building their ads also celebrities are running shows right from their home. A few months ago also common people must not have thought how wonderful the Human mind is! We once more got the proof why we are minds are called Super of all other creatures.

COVID 19 may go away but its impact on our lifestyle will remain with us from now.
Stay home stay alive

P erhaps this is the first time humans get the feeling of being in a cage! That too for our own security.  Its been around one and half months of Lockdown due to COVID 19 in India. And the lockdown seems never ending. Perhaps once in a lifetime we have faced such a never ending lockdown. Not even our Grandparents or their Grand parents have faced such a situation in their lives in history. Is it true that we were never been caged? Well let me put some points to begin the debate : What about the prisoners?  What about a section of females? Yes, so human have been imprisoned before also. What has not come to our notice is their mental health! This is the first time a mass of people together getting the taste of being locked up . How is it feeling? Let me share some experiences. Perhaps for the first few weeks we all got the long time urging vacation. The PM giving us task to perform from home like applauding for the emergency workers at 5 pm on Sunday, then again on ...
