CORONA LIFESTYLE

After Novel Corona Virus was declared a global pandemic on 11th March 2020. Everyone’s life had come to a standstill. The Government of India declared an indefinite lockdown. For the first time in history, a whole Nation and many countries faced such lockdowns. The economy of the countries crippled. Many people lost their jobs. Businessmen suffered losses during this lockdown. The stock exchange took a dip and even today its recovering. This is the first time in mankind when something of such a huge magnitude happened.

COVID 19 also hit the lifestyle of people. If I talk about myself, I had an active and healthy lifestyle before the pandemic hit. As days passed, the lifestyle got changed as you can not go to the office, gym, walk, you cannot purchase certain stuff for your diet, etc.

But one good thing that happened during the COVID 19 situation is people became self-sufficient whether it is regarding cooking food or cleaning the house. Most of the people turned out to be master chefs. COVID Dalgona coffee was in trend. Someone who knew just to boil water and preparing Maggi was now preparing coffee and flaunting it all over social media. From preparing a simple chapati to Chinese to dumplings (momos), people learned everything quickly but the sad part is that most of them don’t learn to wear a mask in public even now.

1. Everyone was working from home. But, a lot of people lost their jobs.
2. Initially, it took a toll for daily wagers but as the lockdown was relaxed people returned to normal lives.
