KaitlynnD Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 There is no doubt that the coronavirus did have a huge effect around the world. A lot of people lost their job and first work countries experienced a big decrease in their economy. It is actually a good thing that several countries are already slowly bouncing back. On the other hand, there are still some that are struggling due to incompetent leaders. We've been in this situation for almost a year now and still hoping for better solutions aside from the vaccine. But as much as possible have yourself do a lot of hobbies to keep yourself not idled as much.. for me i played a lot of video games and even online poker with friends to have atleast something to do during this pandemic season.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
