GCQ THE LIFE AFTER 3 MONTHS

after 3months...

its now MGCQ , for NCR, the dreadful time where we are separated from each other by
walls and windows, only to get out and see sunlight when we carry a travel pass, of
somekind, is almost over. but the virus remains. yes its still out there and its mutating.

people get infected, more, by the day, everyday. and while there is no over the counter
cure that you could take for 1 wk just like any flu medicine. people are encouraged
to stay indoors, (20 yrs old below and 60 yrs old above). so if you're customers are in
this age range, then you need to closed down your business. many middle class have now
become the new poor.

take for example the online gaming industry.  where I have 16 yrs experience.
how can one survive with 10 percent capacity?
of  accepting 21 yr old and up customers? who in their right mind will still continue this
business model? 21 yr old should go out  and work. not ask money from parents to play
online games. so this industry is the most affected. with only 15/hr rate, the business
required  more than 50 units per 60 sqm to earn. or at least 15 seats occupied straight for
 at least 6 hrs a day to have  break even.

aside from LANSHOPs, travel is ristricted to people with special passes, so no one
can get outside the country, this made lots of travel related business models to close
down, tourism is greatly affected. tour guides, jobless. this could go on til next year at
the minimum.

the icon of our culture, the Philippine Jeepnys are down.  lots of operators go to the
streets to ask for alms. its hard. also for the commuting public who rely on jeepneys to
go to work. for the working class, live is getting worse, for example my friend needs to
walk from a town in Malabon to Monumento, 15kms  because there are no jeepney
if you are rich, well off, you can choose not to work, stay home and just spend your
savings until this pandemic ends probably after a year or two.. or if you are pretty, you
wait for your sugar daddy, rich younger boyfriend to feed your luxuries and wants.
but if you choose the path of the righteous, then, you join the thousands of commuting
public, working only 3 times a week. and risk being infected, and die.

the future of the economy is not that bright,  survival depends on how a company
would manage cost cutting  with almost zero income coming in. and yet still has to pay
the debts.

life is hard for the lower class. but its dangerous for the middle class businesses. if the
company  is not pandemic proof, like groceries medicines, food... then its in danger of
collapse. everything depends on how good a manager you are, providing what the
community needs while doing this in the most budget friendly way.

till here, I would write another experience next month. please be healthy because
this is not the right time to get sick.
