All aspect of lives were affected the whole world was on total lockdown for months which mostly affect the world economic. A lot of people had to work from home due to how important they job is.

The world slowly begin to conquer the deadly virus all thanks to the health workers who put their lives on the line to help reduce to spread of the virus. Eventually cures were found but before then, millions of people around the world lost their lives. The covid-19 pandemic was a sad story which we pray we never experience such ever again.

What difficulties you personally encounter during Covid-19?

We all face different problems during the pandemic which was almost unbearable for some and other were able to handle these difficulties very well. The difficulties I encountered are explained below.

• Finance:

To reduce the spread of this deadly virus we all had to stay at home for months and most if not all business activities was put on hold which makes it really hard to get money to sort out many needs such as data subscription.

• Freedom of movement:

No one is allow to move around expect is an emergency so all visit to friends house are canceled which is difficult before I am not use to it. The only way to stay in touch with friends is through social media.

How did Steemit keep you busy or rely on information when you were home locked during covid-19?

Steemit is best decentralized social media where users write about a lot of topics which are informative. During the pandemic if I was on steemit I will definitely be posting a lot which will include my thought about the covid-19 and its effect on me and people around me. I am sure most users will do the same so I will learn a lot form their point of view about the covid-19 and some will also share valuable information which will really help understand the state we are in defeating the virus.

Did you sell steemit earing during covid-19 to reduce or eliminate the problems you face in your daily life?

This is a tricky question but I am sure due to my financial situation which was not doing okay as explained above I will probably sell few steem for data subscription because I need to always be online and on steemit for the latest update about the deadly virus. This is one aspect steemit has over centralized social media such as twitter where no reward is involve.

Did steemit help other people besides you in your country, city during covid-19 global epidemic?

Yes I am sure steemit does helped users already on the platform. Steemit is a platform where you can learn and interact with different people from around the world. So I am sure this platform would have been most visited for steemians around the world.

You informed people about steemit during covid-19 so that they too can get out of trouble by joining steemit.

Definitely I would have invite others especially my friends to join steemit. As said early it a place where you can learn and interact with other and the fact that you earn by doing this, will draw a lot of people to this platform. Most people were at home looking for something to keep them busy so assuming I was already on this platform I would have definitely invite all my friends to join.

What difficulties ,major issues,did you face during Covid-19's terrible disease and how did Steemit improve,support and help in your life during Covid-19 and other people around your city or country. (write own experience) ?

The covid-19 brought a lot of problems around the world and everyone need to adjust to this new way of life. All form of education was on pause expect learning form internet which steemit would have really helped if I was already a user. No movement to reduce the risk of spreading the virus form one place to another so the only way to keep in touch with friends was through social media which steemit will have really been a place to read how my friends are dealing with the lockdown through their story shared on this platform.
