I think my country is quite different cos at the initial time covd19 emanated, things become difficult affecting the price of goods and services especially food stuffs and other basic amenities. That was the first phase of convid 19 ranging from 12/03/2021 to 01/09/2021. During this period I almost go begging cause of high price of food and means to make money was frozen as a result of serious restriction of movement.

The second phase of lock down was less severe maybe because of the repercussions of the first phase. Well I thank God that my country is not under any restriction again. Things have started going back to normal now, while the wise ones have started investing in skills acquisition that could help to avert the infliction of any further lockdown.

You will hear similar stories from all around the world. Here in India, the lockdown was announced all of a sudden and people were given just a couple of hours to stock essential items. And the shopkeepers took advantage of this and increased the prices by 2x or 3x. The worst affected were migrant workers, who got stuck without any access to provisions. Many of them tried to return to their native villages by foot, walking for 1,000 or 1,500 km continuously.
