The Positive /Negetive Impact of Lockdown due to Covid- 19
Negative Vives from Pandemic COVID 19
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems, and the world of work. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating. Millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty.
Millions of enterprises face an existential threat. Nearly half of the world’s workforce is at risk of losing their livelihoods. Informal economy workers are particularly vulnerable because the majority lack social protection and access to quality health care and have lost access to productive assets. Without the means to earn an income during lockdowns, many are unable to feed themselves and their families. For most, no income means no food, or, at best, less food and less nutritious food.
The pandemic has been affecting the entire food system and has laid bare its fragility. Border closures, trade restrictions and confinement measures have been preventing farmers from accessing markets, including for buying inputs and selling their produce, and agricultural workers from harvesting crops, the pandemic has decimated jobs and placed millions of livelihoods at risk. As breadwinners lose jobs.
Companies, businesses, and educational organisations are taking major hits at the beginning of 2020 due to the rapid spread of corona virus and the results of our survey show that 86% are expecting revenue to take significant falls due to the direct impact of the outbreak. The significant drop in revenue will have a trickle-down effect on the economy as companies are struggling to adjust their business strategies in preparation for an economic downturn.
Positive Vives from Pandemic COVID 19
It made us realize the value of health over money. Nothing really matters when health is lacking, has been a driving force toward a healthy lifestyle. There has been an increase in public health awareness, and people have become more receptive to what is being broadcasted and following them too.
People learned the concept of immunity and ways to boost it. There has been a shift toward preventive medicine. Hygiene practices have risen which would go a long way to improve our immune system and decrease the load of infectious diseases.
Children have learned the importance of hand washing. Since lockdown, the habit of eating outside food has also been curtailed. We learned to live on only homemade food. It has in a way helped us to improve our dietary habits.
Positive vives over Knowledge
It has given us knowledge that what we eat and how we behave daily determines how strong our immune system can be to enable it to fend off most problems before the use of medical intervention. Suddenly, from I do not have time for exercise, doing exercise has become a no-brainer, as we have learned the importance of a fit body and a healthy mind. To keep the mind healthy, various online yoga meditation courses such as the art of living have been offered. We are now happier doing exercise with our family members, sharing good quality time, and enjoying life. It is hoped that the world would now pay attention to the improvement of the healthcare system.
The lockdown has also helped by increasing our attention to local communities. People are avoiding larger supermarkets in favor of the local suppliers whose shops are smaller and easier to reach. Children and adults of all ages are visible at all times of the day, making it easier to identify the social and developmental diversities of our communities
Positive Effects over new ideas
New business ideas such as the production of PPE kits, N95 masks, face shields, and sanitizers have started. India has now become an emerging producer of these products. This pandemic has given a boost to the make in India campaign and has promoted localization. People have also got jobs in various healthcare sectors during the COVID-19 times and people have come forward for the same despite knowing the risks involved.
Before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the air around us had been deemed very toxic to breathe in due to the amount of greenhouse gases that had been emitted over the centuries. The Earth faced rising temperatures, which in turn led to the melting of glaciers and rising of sea levels. Environmental degradation was happening fast due to the depletion of resources such as air, water and soil. But after the corona virus lockdown commenced, there have been slight changes in the environment.
The lockdown had resulted in positive impact on the environment
The lockdown had resulted in positive impact on the environment. The environmentalists have successfully noticed the reduction of the emission of Greenhouse gases. The river is now more clear. Air quality has improved. Birds were rarely seen, are increasing in number. The green Himalayan Range was clearly visible after thirty years. It is exciting to see how nature – trees, flowers, grow up in silence, Sun and moon move in Silence.
After the lockdown was put in place in many countries, there was lesser travelling done by people, whether it is by their own cars, or by trains and flights. Even industries were closed down and not allowed to function. This in turn led to the pollution in the air dropping significantly, as there was a marked decline in nitrous oxide emission.
Plants are growing better because there is cleaner air and water, and because yet again there is no human interference. With everything at a standstill, plants are allowed to thrive and grow and produce more coverage and oxygen. Less litter also means lesser clogging of river systems, which is good in the long run for the environment.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that the outdoor air-pollution kills 7 million people each year worldwide and more than 80% urban population is exposed to unhealthy air. Since people stayed Home, have paved significant improvement in air quality.
The Conclusion on the Impact of Lockdown for Covid- 19 be it positive or negative
In conclusion, though there has been a positive impact on the environment due to the lockdown, there is fear that once people start traveling again or go back to doing what they have been doing, all the positive impacts will also disappear.
