Living in Quarantine

Quarantine has suddenly become a normal circumstance in our lives. No more eating out, no more playing around, no employment and for many, there’s NO MONEY.

Following a recent survey (early May, 2020), in New York alone, more than 1.4 million people have filed for unemployment benefits. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, many businesses have been closed leaving behind so many jobless.

Does this really have to be like this?

For some people, life hasn’t stopped completely. This includes that group of people who have been maintaining an online living.

Effects of Online Work in Quarantine

I’ve known some of my friends who have been working full time during this pandemic. They are completing 35 – 40 hours a week and getting payment accordingly.

Fortunately, most of remote works weren’t hit hard. Many companies are now trying to implement work from home policy to fight the pandemic.

What this means is, if you avail an online job, your life is exceptional and it’s still not that much frustrating like many others at this time.

How Much to do Online

If you’ve been living online for a while, you’ll know that, most of the works can be completed online.

With the help of technology, followings are some that you can avail online:

• Jobs
• Shopping
• Banking services
• Food delivery
• Education
• Workout lessons
• Medical advice
• Entertainment

As you can see, online living hasn’t been impacted much with the pandemic. Online living actually helps to stay quarantined.

Online Living During Quarantine

Covid-19 spreads from people to people and hence you have to restrain your movements and mixing with others as much as possible.

With work from home opportunity, you don’t really have to move out of your house. Of course emergencies are an exception.

Is just online work enough to stay quarantined?

Actually, there are some related issues.

As of payments. Almost all the banks now facilitate electronic fund transfer. With this, getting paid for the online job and paying your bills aren’t a big deal.

Now that you have job and money, and you took care of the bills, you need cloths and foods. There are plenty of online shops that provide home delivery. Without being physically present, you can get any stuff.

You availed your necessities, now you need some relaxation. During normal days, you’d go to the park or some amusement facilities.

It’s always best to spend time with kids and elders in the family. May be you can play some indoor games together or do something creative.

For other possible entertainments, you may have to limit it to Netflix or similar.

The sad side is, no matter how you maintain online living, it’s never equal to the natural lives that you are used to. Specially the leisure times.

However, with online living, you can support the society best to tackle the coronavirus issue. With such support from majority of the people, you can hope that, this serious pandemic will soon come to an end.

Helping Society with Remote Works

In the present time, maintaining social distance is inevitable. It’s difficult to maintain it, if you need to go out of your house.

Usually, you need to go out of your house if you have a an errand to run.

With work from home opportunity and all other online services in hand, you don’t have much reasons to go out.

Possible purposes to go out could be attending clinics or hospitals for physical examinations or other emergencies.

With such limited requirements to skip quarantine, spread of Covid-19 can be slowed down to a great extent. Doing this, you’re greatly helping the society by staying quarantined.

Can Everybody Avail Online Living

Anybody can actually get to the life of online living. There are a lot of ways to earn money online, which I plan to explain in another post.

However, as a matter of fact, we still need some people in the field to take care of us.

This includes law enforcers, doctors, nurses, firemen, delivery men and suppliers.

These important figures provide extremely important services, that can’t be accomplished online. We actually need them on their posts to keep our lives going.

If we don’t maintain quarantine, we’re making these people vulnerable. They’re our lines of defenses and the last thing we’d want is they’re harmed.

To keep all of us safe, it’s very important that you stay home. To stay home for such a long time is hard but if you’ve got plenty of things to do, it’s not strenuous.

Online freelance jobs don’t have time limits and you can work as long as you want. You can work on the things that you love.

You’ve got resources of entertainment and have the facility of shopping.

If such online living can is implemented, Covid-19 can be stopped sooner and we all can go back to our normal lives.

Finally, a HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE to all the medical practitioners, nurses, law enforcers and all others who are risking their lives to protect us.

If they aren’t in the field, we can’t even think to proceed with online work. Let’s all pray and hope that this serious nightmare ends soon.
