Cov-19 - My Humble Opinion

My personal opinion on the corona virus:

I won’t mention comparisons with other viruses or diseases as those are easy to find with our Google friend.

However there is one thing I’d like to share:

The new corona virus, just like the other viruses already available on the “market” won’t go anywhere anytime soon. Maybe it will never go away. Hence, we need to learn how to live with it. Just like we all learned how to deal with the flu/influenza, swine flu, chicken pox, measles, dengue fever, yellow fever ... you name it.

It is very true that governments of every country must get hold of the situation and ensure the numbers will start dropping.

This panic must stop within the population as it is creating big economical issues.

If you simply do not go out anymore and you just buy everything in the supermarkets because it is the “Apocalypse”, let me give you 2 news (one good and one bad:

- 1st (good news) - you might survive an extra 30 days with your food supply

- 2nd (bad news) - only 30 days ...  :))

Jokes on the side, yes let’s take care more of our hygiene and accept the fact that this virus will simply become part of the normal life ... just like you have a seasonal flu.

Being in the financial services industry, I highly encourage everyone to keep track of their investment without panic, markets are low yes, which means: OPPORTUNITY.

In November, Hansard won “Best Digital Proposition” at the International Advisers Global Financial Services Awards and it’s at times like this when the strength of our capabilities stands out.

 Our award winning online new business function allows you to continue to do business remotely without having to see clients face to face and without putting your health at risk amid the current COVID-19 outbreak.

Educate yourself before you panic!
