As the world is facing with an unprecedented serious disease called Cornonavirus

or Covid-19, it is mandatory that people stay at home and self quarantine to

protect themselves and others. However, staying at home still has its pros and
cons that make dramatic changes to human’s normal life.

First of all, staying at home means minimizing contact with people. Avoid public
transportation whenever possible, limit nonessential travel, online learning, work
from home and skip congregate settings — and definitely do not go to crowded
bars or even churches. However, on the one hand, a number of employees have
been made redundant and became jobless as a result of global economic crisis.
This leads to alarming unemployment rate, low income and heavy social subsidy
burden. Another negative aspect of staying at home is the change in daily routine.
Consequently, without self- discipline,not only labour effiency but also work
capacity is greatly reduced. Moreover, marital discord and family disharmony
tend to occur between siblings, husbands and wives, parents and children
resulting from children’s problematic behaviors as well as parental conflict
contributing to the sharp increase in divorce rate.

On the other hand, staying at home is an opportunity for people to spend time for
loving themselves. They are enabled to take care of themselves, relax and do
different tasks they have never done before. For instance, reading, cooking,
playing sports, meditation, etc… One additional advantage is staying at home
makes it possible for people to have more time with family and enjoy loving each
other than normal. Another point in favor of this is facilitating each person to
hone skills including time management, critical thinking, problem solving and
even self-discipline; Furthermore, children are able to broaden knowledge via
online learning so as to promote development and professional ability.

In conclusion, staying at home provides a convenient way to develop each

person’s ability and contain community spread during Coronavirus pandemic.
Therefore, its benefits may overpower the drawbacks of itself.
