What happens during an epidemic, how to protect yourself during a pandemic, how to reduce risks.
The coronavirus pandemic has affected everyone, and everyone has their own view and truth about the situation. In this article, we share our opinion on what is happening in Georgia and provide recommendations on how to behave during this difficult period. Listen carefully to reduce your risks both in life and in business.
In this article, I want to share with you my opinion and conclusions regarding what is happening in Georgia during the Coronavirus epidemic.
Fear rules the world
It is obvious and logical because fear is the emotion that is genetically inherent in us and for many generations, people have been governed by this emotion and continue to do so. This is very effective, especially in the short term, especially when people's self-preservation instinct is activated.
It is important to understand that we will never know the truth about the events taking place, each of us will remain with our own opinion, and everyone will be right in their own way.
Now people's behavior in this situation, not only in Georgia but also in the world, can be divided into three classes:
- These are the people who don't care. They deny everything and consider everything that is happening in the world right now to be fiction. You can see them in restaurants, in cinemas, in clubs - they are not afraid of anything.
- These are the overly cautious people, those who stockpile sugar, buckwheat, toilet paper. These people provoke demand for illiquid products because of their panic.
- This is the most interesting class. These are the people who benefit from the situation that has arisen. They buy assets on the falling market, speculate on information, intimidate people through social networks for the benefit of sales, and sell illiquid goods at a huge profit for themselves.

My opinion on how to behave during the pandemic.
This is by no means a recommendation for action, just my vision:
Firstly, don't wait, but go negotiate and solve problems with creditors and landlords. If your business has suffered due to the current situation, if you cannot repay a loan, if you have rent that you cannot pay, if you have a mortgage. Don't wait until you enter into a confrontation and the situation worsens, go and solve the problem. It's difficult, but we're all human and everyone understands the current situation.
Secondly, don't panic. Because we don't have up-to-date information and we need to live normally. Everything is changing rapidly and it's important to abstract from external sources, it's important to step away from all news feeds to simply maintain a level of rational thinking.
Thirdly, don't travel abroad, it's better to postpone the trip. Because when you go somewhere, there is a big risk of getting quarantined for two weeks or more, even with a simple cold. I'm not trying to scare you, just warning you.
Fourthly, due to the quarantine, because everyone is being cautious and preferring to stay at home, there is a huge amount of time that you can use for your own benefit. You can learn or start working remotely.
We cannot influence the course of events, it is not within our power. But we can avoid sowing fear and panic, not publishing pseudo conclusions, and not folding our hands in favor of those who benefit from it. Everything always ends happily. Just listen to my opinion.

Особенно откликнулись слова о том, что важно использовать свободное время с пользой. Во время пандемии я начала изучать новую профессию дистанционно, и это действительно помогло отвлечься от негатива.
Спасибо за такие важные рекомендации! Абсолютно поддерживаю призыв решать проблемы открыто, договариваться и избегать лишней тревоги. Важно помнить, что любые трудности временны, и в итоге всё действительно заканчивается хэппи-эндом.
Сейчас это неприятное время осталось позади. Здорово, что снова есть возможность путешествовать. А советы из данной статьи, кстати, можно считать подходящими под любой форс-мажор. Так что не потеряли они свою актуальность.
