City Vs Province at the time of the pandemic

many want to live in the city because of the extent of its axis of things. Just like the beautiful sights, malls, eateries, cinemas, easy transportation and much more. but don't you know that living in the province is quieter and happier? especially during this time of pandemic, it is much better to live in the province than in the city,want to know why?

Let us discuss three reasons for this

1. OBSERVING SOCIAL DISTANCING AGAINST THE SPREAD OF COVID 19

Due to the much smaller number of people in the province compared to the city, it is easier to implement social distance. if we notice the virus spreads more easily in the city than in areas outside the cities.in the city there are many malls and grocery stores in which so many people flock because of the so-called panic buying on the other hand panic buying is not very popular in the province because most of the people who live here still come from remote areas, have their own land unlike the city which often relies on market vendors, groceries and malls so it is inevitable to violate social distance due to the large number of people.

2. PRODUCTIVITY

Now that we are in the midst of pandemic, one of the mandates of the health department and the whole government is to stay inside the house and avoid to go anywhere because of the virus.In the city, because there are so many people and the strict implementation of the protocol, there is nothing that people can do but follow and mumble in the four corners of their respective homes. Eating, watching tv and sleeping are often done by most, especially the minors who are unable to go out to go to their favorite sights such as parks, malls, eateries and other places featured in the cities.In the province, meanwhile, because the places are not very civilized compared to the cities where there are only a few establishments and places to go, people are forced to think of alternative things to entertain their homes and reduce boredom throughout the day.

This is where agriculture comes in, as in the province there are many vacant lands that can be cultivated that's why, so many people are enticed to enter agriculture where they grow vegetables and fruits in vacant lands near their homes and raising of animals such as chickens, pigs and others for their entertainment during the pandemic that eventually help to meet the daily needs of the people and then the people sell the surplus of their crops for extra money. In other words, those in the province are much more productive because their activities are less limited than those in the city which are severely affected by the pandemic.

3. DEALING WITH DAILY NEEDS

When it comes in dealing with daily needs, it's obviously, that those in the city are much affected by this pandemic since most of the residents here rely only on buying food to be found in the markets and grocery stores, add to this that every home is also running out of money due to lack of source of income due to this crisis we are facing now.On the other hand, those in the province even though they are a little short of money but they can work out a way to sustain their daily needs by raising and caring of animals and planting of vegetables and fruits so that they can support themselves on a daily basis. This is something that the city is not able to practice well due to lack of space and resources.

In totality, the people living in the mountains or provinces have a better chance of surviving the pandemic compared to the people living in the city. because in the province there is still the existence of natural resources provided by our nature that have long disappeared in cities due to the modernization.
