Bueno dia guys! I did a survey on this Coronavirus Period i.e.what are people doing in-home and how is it going. And believe me,the responses were just amazing.
Coronavirus and Survey?
This survey is all about this Quarantine Period that we are facing due to Coronavirus also popular as COVID-19. We all know that this virus is declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO). It has affected almost 2.65 lacs of people all around the world till now out of which 11 thousand deaths are recorded. Countries like China, the USA, Italy, Iran, etc. are affected very badly by this virus. In India, there are 340 cases recorded out of which 24 are cured. Some countries are facing the condition of lockdown where some are facing the Quarantine Period. Lockdown is an emergency protocol that usually avoids individuals or information (statistics) from leaving an area and Quarantine is a cutback on the movement of people which is planned to prevent the spread of virus or disease or pests. For more information about lockdown and quarantine, I'll provide the link at the end of this article.
In India, some states are facing the Quarantine Period and some are facing lockdown. Schools, Colleges are closed and Government and Private Offices all are out of business these days. Everyone is advised to stay at home and not to go anywhere. At this time, I did a survey, which contains some questions like how much are you afraid of this coronavirus and what are you doing in-home during this quarantine period, etc. I got some 50-60 responses from the 16-25 age group of people. And believe me, I got some very amazing and new answers. If you want to fill this form here is the link Survey for Quarantine Period
What were the questions and their responses?
1. What are your best pastimes in this quarantine period?
The best answer I got for pastimes i.e. my first question was Spending Time with Family. Well in this busy world, people are seeking for family time. Well, coronavirus proved to be a very deadly virus but if we see the positive side of it, families are actually getting together and spending time with each other. The second most number of responses were expected i.e. use of the phone. Moreover, some were specifying that they love to use Youtube or Netflix and even use of VPN (not specified for what purpose) for the whole day.
2. Just a week has passed, how is your 'stuck in the home' going?
The answers were'Boring', 'I make myself busy with my work', 'Not Special', 'Literally very bad, in this modern world people cannot live without socializing with each other and due to COVID-19, we all are stuck in the home', 'V. Good' etc. These answers were representing one thing people who are living away from family or not, they are feeling very much imprisoned. Well, exceptions are always there.
3. Advantages of social-distancing in your perspective
Responses were like 'Less toxic people (Weird 😬😬), more time to figure things out, no junk food, you are safe in a pandemic and you can read a lot of stuff ', 'Introspection and doing the job from home on laptop and phone', 'Best and the only way to reduce the spread of this deadly coronavirus' etc were the most common answers. Here also some people mentioned spending more time with their family again.4. Disadvantages of social-distancing in your perspective
The answers to this question were like 'Economy will definitely be declined', 'Staying at one place causes overthinking', 'No social or family gathering even after staying at home (LOL, Though diplomatic answer it was)', 'It's like I'm in a cage (OMG)', 'Proper communication is missing and ppl who are working from home are facing some sort of difficulty. Neither they can spend time with family nor they can work properly'. The last answer was good but guys whatever the disadvantages we have to tolerate them all.
5. What will happen if the time period of this quarantine increases by 3 months? How will it affect you?
The responses to the fifth question were like 'Then that's an issue I am a little bit worried about. I will gain fat and can't walk, travel, exercise outside. I have to completely change my schedule', 'It will affect the lives of many people, those whose earning are on per day basis, the lower middle class will suffer a lot due to this'. Some were so sure, their answers were like '3 months is very big a period this will have mental scars on us. As it is really difficult passing the time without something actually productive happening', 'It has 2 answers: either I'll kill myself or I'll become the most talented person (LMAO)'. I don't think I need to do any commenting here.
6. What will you do if your mobile data is finished amid of day, your phone gets discharged and there is no electricity in your home?
Sixth question and best question because everyone wants it for good purpose but nobody wants it coz of their addiction. Let's check the answers, 'I have an inverter and I always have some downloaded stuff but I don’t use my cellphone that much I'm lucky that I really have some work to do ( Reflects attitude of someone).' Well, sleeping was the second choice by most people after the phone because it is the only way they can wait for electricity.
7. How are you feeling being with your whole family for such a long period after so long?
AND
9. Would you like to spend your time playing childhood games with your family? What are the games that thrill/ fascinate you the most?So I would love to share the responses of the seventh and ninth question together. These questions were the sweetest questions of the whole survey. Answers were normal like 'This is what I wanted for a long time sometimes I feel irritated but that’s ok', 'New secrets are revealed. It's liberating to share your whole day stress with your family'. Everyone was mentioning the childhood games they use to play like Tambola, Business, Playing Cards, Pillow Fighting, Hide'n'Seek (Luka Chuppi), Carrom Board, Ludo, Snake-Ladder, etc. I got all the positive responses from here. Everyone wants their childhood back and live it one more time. No tensions, not being futuristic, that everyday changing of the aim of life, that time when academics score doesn't matter much but still we compete for top rank, class-monitor thing, adding 3-4 benches in lunch and do a group lunch feel like we're doing it on a dining table. All those experiences were completely awesome and rememberable and remain different throughout life. Again some exceptions were also there, those who are not happy by their childhood. One answer amused me very much. He said that he doesn't like indoor games so he used to play PUBG on their roof and balcony. Childhood games seem very cringy to him now.
8. How can you better utilize this time for your overall growth?
The answers to this question were simple. They would do some MOOCS courses on Internshala and Coursera etc. Someone wants to learn cooking, enhancing reading and writing skills, complete some pending work.
10. How much scared you're from this coronavirus? How are you following those five measures?
'Responses:- Very much scared. In my family, I'm scared the most and my family members are so irritated that they want me to die (😨😱)soon as I spoke them to follow preventive majors', 'It's not the time to get scared its the time to be aware. We are taking all the precautions rest depends upon the people who surround us.' Well most of them mentioned that they are following two out of five measures of COVID-19. Lemme remind you those 5 measures:- Wash your hands often, Cough into the elbow, don't touch the face, stay more than 3ft (1m) apart, Feeling sick? Stay home.
11. Wanna write a conclusion or brief for this quarantine about what is your feeling in this period at home where no outing or hanging out with friends is happening, changes occurred in your life/daily routine due to this period, etc...
'Out of 24 hours in a day, I miss going out in the evening time but that's it, you just have to put your earphones into your ears obviously (What were you thinking?)'
'We should not waste this time and take it as an opportunity to do all the things we don’t have time for in our daily routine. See this is a bad time for everyone and only we can finish it. We should all support social distancing and help the govt. We don’t have to panic or create havoc by rushing to the markets to buy all the stuff for storage purpose it will be the cause of crowd accumulation. Just be calm and be safe everything can get better. Everything has an end now it's in our hands whether the virus would end or the world.'
'I am really feeling that all the things we all work for and leave everything aside are just temporary everything around us is just so transient. When life comes back to normal I would actually look at what is worth it and what's not.'
These are the questions. We saw different types of responses. Some were very funky, some were innovative and genuine, etc.. Well, this was a very great experience to see the minds of these big groups of people. Common things among them, some unique answers, some great responses, etc. It was a nice time and the most common answers for all question was "Spending time with family". So that's all for now. See you guys in the next article i..e "Funny things happening on Social Media platform during this Quarantine Period". Feel free to comment below. Till then BE SAFE and ENJOY FAMILY TIME
