I'm interested in how the public talks about economic ideas in relation to the pandemic. Why do people talk about the economy in opposition to public health measures?

For example , Boris Johnson made people to go out and spend money on restaurant & stores to recover the economy.

In Vietnam, where I'm from, citizens immediately agreed to quarantine and wear masks as well as follow any government mandates necessary to stop the spread. The same can be seen in many other Eastern nations. In the West, there seems to be less trust in the government and more reluctance to follow their guidance. Could this be linked to trust in government or is it because the West favors individualism and "freedom" whereas the East favors collectivist welfare and community? Could it be both? ]]> 2021-10-01 11:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1783962389 https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784039126 How most of the economy was devastated by the numerous lockdowns but a handful of companies (i.e. Zoom) were very successful.

In Germany, for instance, an entire party formed out of the anti-mask/anti-vaccination movement. This party called "Die Basis" was even up for election last week. The people supportive of this party and the movement as a whole often displayed violent and vulgar behavior during protests, which is why I was glad the party did not pass the 5% mark in order to enter the Bundestag. ]]> 2021-10-01 12:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784039135 https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784039519 How global and local infrastructure will change (office buildings, transportation) etc as a result of stay/work from home ]]> 2021-10-01 12:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784039519 The impact it had on the e-commerce sector, such as online shopping.

Although this was to be expected, I do not think that anyone expected quite the magnitude of the Anti-Vaxx/Freedom marches - even to the extent where one of the Freedom marches attacked one of the BBC news for his reporting about COVID. ]]> 2021-10-01 12:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784044891 The differences between the 2020 recession caused by the pandemic vs the 2008 recession https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784045540 Even though the pandemic caused us to go into the biggest recession we have ever seen in terms of magnitude, it was also one of the quickest to bounce back. Additionally, in the United States, there was a stark difference in the response from Fed in 2008 vs 2020. Science has predicted that there will be more frequent pandemics due to climate change, and I'm curious how governments will respond over time (will there be more systems implemented, will we continue to forget about our past mistakes) and how interest rates will respond ]]> 2021-10-01 12:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784045540 The mass hysteria that went on https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784046612 Some things that I found really interesting were the different responses across the world to covid-19.  Many powerful countries (USA) went into denial as a way of coping or maybe protecting their economy from a very strong external force that they were not ready to face. Also how different conclusions and theories were drawn to completely disregard the idea of another pandemic coming (countries around the world were not ready to take precautions due to the fact that they did not want to believe in a pandemic because they did not know how to cope economically, healthcare wise,etc). ]]> 2021-10-01 12:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784046612 Prioritising economy over the well-being of the population https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784047886 I’m unsure if this is a phenomenon, but it was quite interesting to observe government policy throughout the pandemic and how seemingly contradictory some of it seemed. I would have presumed that the governments priority would be the people and handling the pandemic in a way to would mitigate the loss of lives. However, the ‘eat out to help out’ scheme in the midst of the country’s turmoil illustrated how out of touch the government appeared from the population and its health. ]]> 2021-10-01 12:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784047886 The loss of trust in governments https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784049630 People in Singapore were very obedient to the governments rules and regulations during the pandemic, like following social distancing and lockdown rules. But due to the heavy regulations with bad outcomes, there are people who are starting to lose trust in the government.

Similarly in other countries where their governments shortcomings have lead to the people believing in their incompetency. I think this pandemic will make people rethink about their own countries politics and their governments. ]]> 2021-10-01 12:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784049630 Spread of fake news and conspiracy theories https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784051753 It’s been interesting to see how the spread of fake news/scientific information has influenced individuals’ response to COVID restrictions. This has been particularly noticeable with the objection of many people to getting the COVID vaccine. It is also interesting how the spread of misinformation has led to large scale protest to wearing masks, getting vaccines, social distancing etc... this shows that the spread of fake news and conspiracy leads to political action and protest ]]> 2021-10-01 12:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784051753 International response comparison k20034058 https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784056473 I am interested in how different countries have reacted and responded to the covid 19 crisis, particularly with a focus on how China and other countries in Asia, first effected by the virus, have recovered/reacted so efficiently]]> 2021-10-01 12:40:46 UTC https://padlet.com/PandemicDPE/8hucdj4soa0uaxoz/wish/1784056473
