Hi,
In my POV, this pandemic can begin to challenge human relations with nature and the environment. Humans are part of nature, and we cannot control or possess it. Human wants to work for nature instead of against nature.
So in the end it took nature close to human life
Thank you doctor @Valentin Vasilev...I fully agree with you.... spending more time on sports is good for both physical and mental health. Sincere thanks for your contribution.
Dear Dr @Windhya Herath...I endorse your point of view...that we humankind has to live as per the order of nature. Living in harmony is good way of life. All thanks to you for your time and valuable points to this discussion.
People learned sanitation techniques and use of masks along with awareness related to infectious diseases.
Dear Dr.Yoganandan,
In this pandemic period, many people have realised the importance of cultivating vegetables in their backyards..
Thank you doctor @Mubashir Ali Rather... True. I agree with you that there is a general trend emerging on the issue of hygiene, cleanliness and maintaining distance between individuals. Sincere thanks for your contribution and support to this discussion. Regards Yoganandan G
Dear Dr Sreenivasan, I fully endorse your point of view. Many people want to eat organic vegetables....as they think it will enhance their immunity. All Thanks for spending your valuable time to enrich this discussion. Regards Yoganandan G
cooperation sense , elevated between communities to evade the consequences of the pandemic especially in poor communities.
Dear doctor Mosab Nouraldein Mohammed Hamad. You have provided yet another dimension to this discussion. Communities started working closer and self-reliance has become the buzz word. I fully agree with you. Even bigger countries want to be self-reliant. Thank you for your time, your wonderful support and contribution.
Yoganandan G. Thanks for your nice words, further more charity societies and others non governmental organizations (NGOs) must play the key role , as community supporters. Thanks once again .
Dear Dr Mosab Nouraldein Mohammed Hamad, from your argument it is crystal clear that how various stakeholders including NGOs play/ should play a critical role. Thank you for your continuous contribution doctor. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Dear Yoganandan G. during the lockdowns and shutdowns caused by the COVID-19, it was possible to verify a sharp drop in emissions and pollution globally. When countries start to work on restarting their economies, the sustainability criteria must be the core of our recovery efforts to maintain our course towards a climate-resilient low-carbon transition, rather than continue the previous vicious cycle of environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and zoonotic infectious disease outbreaks. Kind regards, Ernani
Yoganandan G. Thanks Dr., your question is very important . and positive behaviors lead to healthy and good life even during lock-down
Dear Dr Ernani Contipelli...I appreciate your views on climate change...and the focus should be recovery efforts. You have clearly mentioned the need for Climate- resilient system of functioning. Thank you for your detailed response and contribution. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Dear Dr Mosab Nouraldein Mohammed Hamad, yes. You are correct, at the time of difficulties and challenges, positive behaviour/responses could be the only solution. Thank you for enlightening with your point of view. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Dear Dr Abdul Aziz, Yes. You have pointed out the visible changes taking place throughout the world. You are right. This behavioural change slowly affects all the culture ( cultures evolve). Doctor Thank you for your kindness and support. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Hello, I would first like to point out that Yoganandan G.'s question was a great way to notice if people changed some unhealthy habits. To be honest, because my household consists of 5 other people, TV time did not decrease as much as I would like. While proper hygiene and self-protection have improved. Nevertheless, we own it to ourselves and others to care about our health and of course the environment, which is constantly pushed aside.
personal hygiene is very important not for protection from diseases but for dealing with community members.
Dear Dr Sofia Gushi, very interesting point is put forth by you. True. Some of the not so good habits either increased or stayed at pre- pandemic level. Also, I endorse your point of view that family has become little more closely knit unit, supporting each other. Excellent contribution to this doctor. Thank you so much. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Dear Dr Mosab Nouraldein Mohammed Hamad, maintaining hygiene has two benefits. 1. Health dimension 2. Society acceptance.
Really appreciate your contribution doctor. Warm regards Yoganandan G
During the period of the Corona pandemic, I spent more time at home with the family, arranged research prepared for the promotion of my senior researcher, and attended many seminars and conferences online, and my reading rate increased and perception, especially on ResearchGate.
the main notice that neighbor become to know each other in their reality of kindness or bad
how they help others.
We notice that it is the change towards good behavior around healthy habits and adherence to them, as well as the trend towards eating healthy foods that support immunity, intense attention to personal hygiene and healthy habits and encouraging children to do so, I think even after the end of the epidemic these habits will not change because we, in general, have become accustomed to them. On the other hand, we have more time to spend with the family, and this is also important.
Manal Hadi Kanaan Agree with you, most of people take alot of vitamin C and D containings foods , and that will promote their immunity.
Writing research paper, research proposal of my PhD, reading of books and articles are good behavioural changes happened during this Covid-19 pandemic period.
increase the appetite for reading and doing research and to evaluate the strength of your company.
Enhanced behavioral awareness and behavioral insights in terms of behavioral health and safety.
Dear RG friends, what a nice question. My answer is twofold. First of all, I learned to be modest, man is not omnipotent. Secondly, I learned to appreciate the contact with other people even more (I miss them). All the best, stay safe and healthy, Carl
With every difficulty there is always a relief! A belief towards change.
Improving self organization skills and behavioral modification such as resilience and behavioral flexibility.
Yes, despite the black side of the CORONA pandemic, there are good behaviors such as spending more time with kids, having good time for rest and rearranging the life affairs.
Regards
Family time increased. now we are physically distant but more socially related with each other. now students can learn any where any time. children are getting more attention.
I'm retired now and always used to say that I was very busy; never bored. But that was when I used to go out quite a bit.
Now, I'm staying in unless I really have to go out.
But still seem to be very happily busy! How I'll find time to go out more once the COVID-19 danger has reduced, I have no idea! I never get everything done that I want to get done in a day.
Mary C R Wilson You can write notes about your observations during your professional work and publish it.
The atmosphere becomes cleaner, Biodiversity revives little bit, people become aware of cleanliness, started thinking about natural resources conservation and serious for any future pandemic
increase attention to poor members of the community .

Kindly accept my sincere gratitude. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Dear Dr Dharmesh Chandra Sharma ,Good sanitation and cleanliness has become the focal point of discussion in many of the societies where it was, until now, not that important. On this aspect the pandemic has played a level playing field where the people around the globe feel the importance of cleanliness and good sanitation. Thank you doctor for your contribution. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Dear Dr Afraa Ibrahim, I try to understand your one sentence response - Calm and contemplation. Wonderful point. You have conveyed the importance of being calm at the time of crisis.

Dear Dr Mary C R Wilson, I have spent few minutes on your statement - I'm staying in unless I really have to go out - trying to figure out the inner meaning of it. You have conveyed that our priorities are changing and all those activities that we were doing until this point of time is not that important. But something else is important. Maybe it's our beautiful life. Thank you doctor for your thought provoking statement. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Dear Dr Mosab Nouraldein Mohammed Hamad, thank you doctor for your feedback and I agree with your point of you that researches are very busy especially at the time of crisis. Warm regards Yoganandan G

Dear Professor,
This is a very interesting topic for discussion that you have raised.
After reading the topic of discussion, I started thinking about the possible answers from my side. This is because, Professor, as you know, it is very difficult to locate changes in oneself. After a few hours of intense thinking, I have come to the following few points:
1. I have become a more confident man. When this pandemic commenced, I was very nervous. Months of lock down has taught me to stay with stress and enjoy life while being in stress. I think I am more confident today. I can handle crisis without much help from others.
2. There is nothing wrong with team games in life, but after months of secluded life, I have started believing that everything in life is not a team game. There are certain games that have to be played individually.
3. I read it long ago that we should not worry too much because worry robs our peace and happiness. Moreover, most of the things about which we worry, does not actually happen in reality. In this phase, I have realized these.
4. I have started believing more in the power of nature. Since the beginning of the pandemic, everyday I keep on getting newer and newer stories about the pandemic and vaccines to control it. Unfortunately, nothing takes shape. So, I am sure that nature has created this and now nature will do something to get rid of this. Man is nothing but a puppet in the hands of nature.
5. Last but not the least, I have started to save money. I am thinking about the future. Now I want to survive for a long time. There is so much to be done in my life. I have actually started to believe in the opportunities that life brings in front of us.
There have been changes basically in my thoughts. I am sure that many of my habits will also get influenced because of these thoughts but that will take some more time. The conclusion is that I am saving money for future because I am in my thirties and want to live for a long time.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Anamitra.
Dear Professor Dr. Yoganandan G. , thank you for your kind answer. It is good that my answer resonates with you. I grant us as human beings that we learn to look beyond our noses. I have tried to write an article about this. I used the Ubuntu philosophy as a 'coatrack'. The link is below.
All the best, stay safe, and keep healthy, Carl
Article COVID-19, SUPERDIVERSITY, CRISIS-COMMUNICATION AND LEADERSHI...
People became more socialized and families are gathering and spending more times together. While, for the knowledge and scientific work, reading and writing are the best of it.
Got concern about such works which were thought to be very easy and pity, but the actual scenario made crystal clear by this pandemic.
* preparing food exclusively
and many more.
This period contributed to the fact that we began to look at things in a different way. We became tolerant and forgiving others and we like to spend as much time as possible with our family and loved ones.
Bushra Abdulhamza Abbas Agree with you, more forgiveness is present during pandemic , in some countries , they forgive prisoners , to protect them from infection with corona virus in the prisons.
As we travel less, we see the family more and notice nature more.
Namaste has been started and atleast peoples realized still nature or "The Grest God" is in existence ....not nature can thrive all achievements whatever peoples thinks
Dear Dr Anamitra Roy, From your first three points I could understand how the crisis make men/women psychologically stronger. I think like our body gaining immunity to diseases, our mind also gains strength during this situations. Fourth point suggests that how we have to live in harmony with nature. After some point of time, nature will restore the balance itself. Lastly, many (including me) has started saving more. I am very much thankful to you for the detailed/insightful views. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Dear Dr Carl HD Steinmetz, thank you sharing this wonderful article in this forum. I have read and just wish to say "Wow- excellent".
Let me outline few (heart not mind) touching points put forth by you.
1.this means that our world has to be organised differently
2.(older people) their bodies have often already (partly) abandoned them.
3. Ubuntu - holistic way of looking at man with unparalleled connections.
You have analyzed the impact of Covid-19 on African-American Society.
But more than that I have learned about "Ubuntu" philosophy.
I do have a doubt - What do you convey by "we are fully committed to the 1.5 meter society"?
Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to read your Master Piece.
Warm regards Yoganandan G
I will write an article on postive and negative impacts , and share it with you, all participants.

Dear Dr Michael Issigonis , Yes you are correct. But, travel restriction is imposed upon us, spending time with family is partially ones choice but thinking about nature is purely the discretion of individual. Your point is well taken. I immensely benefit from your contribution. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Dear Dr M.K. Tripathi, I agree with you that the Namaste has (nearly) become Global. I could understand that many renowned researchers like you and Dr Michael Issigonis, Dr Carl HD Steinmetz, Dr Anamitra Roy , Dr Manal Hadi Kanaan , Dr Windhya Herath, and Dr Ernani Contipelli evoking the nature - implying the nature should be natural. Many thanks for your insights and valuable contribution to this discussion. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Strong commitment to healthy and preventive habits through social distancing and reducing travel.
Antethar Jabar agree with you , and that efforts safe lives of millions of people.
Covid-19 pandemic changed many aspects of our lives and brought some good manner in the human being. For example, Almost all the people of the world awarded and habituated to hygiene. Most of the people washing hands several times especially before taking food. It saves them from a lot of diseases. During pandemic and lock downtime, people able to spend quality time with family that made stronger the bonding of family members. Moreover, creative works like write-up articles, literature, drawing, etc. increased significantly.
it enhance the desire of marriage in many youth , due to low expense.
Dear Dr Antethar Jabar , I agree with your point - healthy and preventive habits through social distancing - reduced the spread of covid-19 pandemic. The lesson learned by humankind. All thanks for your positive response. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Dear Dr Biswajit Karmakar , you are very correct in pointing out in your reply that - creative works like write-up articles, literature, drawing, etc. increased significantly.

Many thanks for highlighting and contributing this dimension (creativity) in this discussion. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Dear Dr M.K. Tripathi , thank you for your kind reply to this discussion. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Of course there are a lot of positive and negative impacts due to COVID-19. Many business and management practices are expected to change after the COVID--19 Pandemic.
it improve pharma trade , soft ware trade, telecommunications trade, and reduce investment in tour .
The only behavioral change I will point out is that this pandemic improved work environment and proved that remote work is possible.
Dear Dr Mahfuz Judeh , I completely agree with your point of view- all the business are undergoing lot of transformation in the way they organise, conduct their business operations. Deeply thankful to you, for highlighting this aspect in this discussion. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Dear Dr Ohud Saud Alqahtani , You have pointed out remote working and improved efficiency in business operations. It has two impacts 1. Employees are working from home- so less office space is require, - this is not good for infrastructure sector. 2. By asking employees to work from home, companies have conveniently reduced their office overhead charges like water bill, electricity bill, ,security salary, coffee/tea expense etc., Accept my sincere thanks for your excellent input into this discussion forum and your invaluable support to my research work. Warm regards Yoganandan G
Yoganandan G. Agree with , the point of re-organizing of business, from pre to post COVID-19 era, Many thanks,
