Impacts of Covid-19 Lockdown

Whether we realise or not but the Coronavirus has its positive impacts too on our society. Here, some negative as well as positive impacts have been mentioned that this virus has left on us.

First, we will talk about the Negative Impacts of the virus:

1. The Lockdown

The worst of all impacts of the lockdown can be seen onto our Economy. The economies which were said to be the most powerful have suffered due to this lockdown and the Indian Economy is not that much powerful in front of the economies of Britain, China and USA. Our economy will suffer because of this lockdown in short as well as long term.

2. The Lower class

The Lower class of Indian Economy is worst hit by this lockdown, thousand lost their livelihood (a means of securing the necessities of life) in these times, when they needed money the most. Millions of migrant worker who used to work on daily wages in the cities and megacities far from their hometown leaving their loved ones behind, had to reach their villages walking, on bicycles or on motorbikes. Hundreds of workers lost their lives in this turmoil (state of confusion).

3. Corruption

The funds provided by the government never reaches the needy people instead they reaches to greedy people. Some officials were seen providing the grains to their relatives instead of the poors for whom the grains were allotted. The government should built a solid corruption proof infrastructure in order to stop the misuse of the funds.

4. Poor quality of Health Infrastructure

This Coronavirus has shown us the poor health infrastructure in India. In the starting of spread, we saw that we didn't even have reasonable quantity of hospital beds in our hospitals. But we have seen progress too, our government with the help of our forces made some of the best hospitals in a very few days. But the virus has shown that it isn't enough for a country of 1.3 billion people. We should start working on it as soon as possible.

5. Fake news

The most annoying thing surfing on the internet was fake news, these fake news can be seemed unharmful to many but they are enough to create chaos (complete disorder or confusion) in a metropolitan cities (denoting large cities) like Mumbai. In the middle of the month of May, a news spread like wildfire that the government has arranged trains for Bihar migrants and within the short period of time almost the crowd of 2000 migrant workers gathered at gate of Bandra railway station, Mumbai. This could have escalated (rapidly increased) the number of cases in the region and could resulted into several deaths. This is the seriouness of spreading fake news. One should confirm a news with the Government's social media handle before believing in it.

6. Loss of Education

The classes are empty for months and will be for several more months due to this virus. This is the most tragic thing because the students are bearing loss due to this lockdown. Even though kids are enjoying their extended holidays and their mass promotions but in the end it's not in their own interest, and if kids are enjoying holidays and mass promotions rather than going to school then there must be some serious problems into our Education System. Although Government (CBSE) has reduced the syllabus for 10th and 12th but it will not going to be as effective as it should be. 

After describing all the negative impacts of the Coronavirus, now we should focus on the positive impacts that Coronavirus has on us.

1. Reduction in Environmental Pollution

When we were busy complaining about the economic losses we have borne due to this pandemic, the nature was recuperating (recovering) from the harm we have done in all these past years. According to the reports by the government and the concerned departments that there has been a significant (noteworthy) reduction in the gas phase molecules and particulate matter in the atmosphere. 

2. Peace of mind

The best thing about this pandemic is that it has given people the thing that they needed the most in their life, Time. The most important thing is that now we understand what it's like to have family and friends around us and we know the value of the time we have spent with them. We are now more grateful for the things and to the people around us. 

3. Learning something new

The wisest mind has something yet to learn and as far as I know most of us are not in the category of the wisest minds so we should never stop learning because one's wealth and health may leave him but his knowledge will not. In the past we had our excuses of not having enough time to start learning now that we have plenty of time we should learn skills which are related with our work so when this all gets over the world will see the new person in you who knows his job better than the rest of his colleagues (fellow workers). Learn something which gives you opportunity to earn more because this is the time where online services worth more than personal services. One who stops learning, stops growing.

4. Passion

Everyone has got their own passion hidden in the corner of their heart. This is the time to explore it,  embrace (accept willingly and enthusiastically) it and then with enough determination you could transmute it into it's monetary (related to money) equivalent. Because successful men did not become successful just because of their profession but their passion, they were passionate about their profession. Do not take this pandemic as a roadblock in your success but an opportunity which could define your entire life. If you have passion, embrace it and if you don't have, find one. Read books, read blogs just like one you are reading now and you will find out what is best for you.

5. We don't need much to be happy

There was a man who used to live with his family in a village. He earned his living by teaching in a country school and by writing news letters for country weeklies and newspapers. He earned a little but he was happy and then he decided to move to a city to earn more. He succeeded in earning more and saved himself a million dollar. But he was not happy then, he wanted to earn more and more money, wanted to buy more luxuries. Back in the day he had nothing but happiness, now he has the money but the happiness is gone.

This is the nature of human beings we can live happily without money but once we start earning it, we want it in abundance. 

This story is taken from 'The Law of Success' by Napoleon Hill. 

These months of lockdown have taught us that we can live without opulence (great wealth or luxuries), so start enjoying life without it.

At last the only thing left to conclude is that the negative aspects of this lockdown is just Economical but the positive aspects are Social, Physical, Mental & Environmental. So we should stop worrying about the situation and start thinking about how to make the best out of it.
