The virus has been with us for like what six months. I think most people think finding a cure for a disease is like magic. There are like dozens of disease that up to this day there are no cure for.
Here in the Philippines it's the same. We have million of workers out of work. Businesses are close and we are still waiting for the vaccine. Our president said that once the vaccine becomes available that when everything will go back to normal. And we are months away. From what I read it may take a year and half for the development of the vaccine. So yeah. Hard times ahead.
The government is spending a lot on subsidies. Trying to keep families afloat during this time. But I think it is not sustainable. We may have to start opening up little by little.
Although the economy is tanking I think it is temporary. Once we get people out on the streets it'll jumpstart the businesses and the economy will recover.
Stay safe and I hope we all get through this.
