Unlike gambling, you are not in danger of dying and infecting a lot of people that might also cost their lives. Gambling cannot be compared to the pandemic because, gambling habits can be surely cured over time with proper guidance and persistence without affecting others.
Gambling may have a perilous impact on your financial status, but you still have an opportunity to recover the money that you had loss.
