The The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the challenges and hindrances in each sector and every aspect of life. The digital connectivity replaced the physical movement and e-currency (use of credit and ATM cards) replaced the physical hard currency. Let us discuss, how Corona has affected the worldwide lifestyle? And how it changed the world’s trends?. In this regard, the entire world is much worried and thinking to save the Global economy, lives of peoples, livelihoods, food and the rest of human belongings.
I had listened to my forefathers about the many disasters. When they faced acute food shortages and water scarcity. In the times of pandemics, they had to eat the leaves and dried covers of trees. We were assuming that, these are no more than fairy tales. As we didn’t witness such type of any disaster which compelled people to eat tree-leaves.
Today, I am recalling those stories and feeling much upset. If the world is not l getting successes over this pandemic of coronavirus then around 7.8 billion peoples will face acute food security in the coming months. The corona virus is spreading rapidly in every country which will leave the worst impacts on all aspects of life.

Online job, e-income

I totally agree. As much as this is impacting us now, I think there are so many ways that we haven’t seen yet that it will affect us in the future.
Thank you Rachel Loza for your endorsement.
Just do whatever Dr. Fauci says.
Great Dr Fauci it the great.
There have been so many things that have been impacted by this. Hopefully we can all come out of soon.
Thank you Danielle for you feedback
I think we’re going to see a significant shift following this to work from home style employment. As businesses realize they can get the work done without necessarily having to incur the costs associated with providing an office space (rent, utilities, furniture, etc.), it’s going to open a lot of eyes to the possibilities. It was an option that many shrugged off without giving it a second thought, however, this situation has forced many to adapt.
Thank you Britt K
What’s great about this event though, although it has impacted us in negative ways, is that we are seeing our humanity. There is so much love and support coming from everyone.
Thanks Jon for your feedback.
I have been thinking about what life will be like once this is “over”… And I fear what’s to come, it’s going to be a crazy fear-filled world.
Dear GIGI,
It can’t change our life on 180 degree angle, but it is affecting our economy and skills. Hope we will win from this VIRUS.
I think the biggest impact it has is how you see what matters and what doesn’t. Now people are realizing the true value of a thing and people around them.
Dear Kathy,
Nature is reclaiming everything, peoples are lock-down so they are realizing the true value of things whenever we get free will fly with available resources and new strategies. Thanks for your true feedback.
This is what people were calling the “end of the times.” We need to open up our true eye and see what really matters, take time to reflect, work on self-improvement, learn more what we always wanted to know about.
But you are right saying that our lives have changed drastically and will open to new possibilities and ways of living.
No matter what is it? But this is the time of planing, organizing and strengthening our-self as well as national and international level too.
Thanks for your feedback and endorsement.
This virus has affected every single person in the world. Not too many things have ever done that. I am praying that it slows down soon.
Thank you Jackline,
You know, why I am reading this article, I’m listening to a podcast that is saying that this coronavirus will cause a new world order, something way different. We will go to G0 where there are no world leaders. Interesting theories going on about the future.
Yes, I have listen and read many rumors about about “A New World Order”, “A book written by Sylvia Browne (End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies) and one other book written by Dean Koontz (The Eyes of Darkness) A Movie “Contagion-2011” all these are the witness of something is going on. But I think we should understand the ground realities and go ahead for FUTURE. I hope our future is bright!
Everyone has been impacted by this pandemic. I hope it all changes for the better.
Thank you Kiwi.
You are correct. And all are waiting for the good time. This time too shall pass
