During the year 2020 local stores and small businesses were hit hard by the pandamic of covid. There was a widespread of shop closures around the world due to coronavirus. All sorts of british businesses were hit hard, experiencing a 41% drop in businesses activity. Asian business owner activity fell by 26%. i think the shocking statistic speak for themselves.

These effects of Covid may be oblivion to the common citizens but big businesses have had to fire employees to sustain thier finances and save money through those unexpected times. more than 2 million employees were fired for company financial benefits. The guilt you experience for a split second is nothing compared to the deprevation of those who were unjustly disadvantaged from a financial security.

Many people might not have noticed after the long period of lockdown, businesses such as uber or taxi driverssuffered as much as the employees fired. an uncounted amount of taxi drivers bore the bruntsince people didn't travel. Citizens on benefitssuffered more since the government was financially struggling to cope with the after math of the pandemic. The affluent part of society eased themselves from work and put thier feet up while the impoverished struggled to sustain 70,000 households in the ukthat twere made homeless during this epidemic. This horrific statistics nudges as all as to the government politics and thier involvement.

Were the government lenient toward us? No, for instance the average electrical consumption bill for an average household per year was £1200. after Covid the bill rose drastically to £1500 per year. this burden added to those that were unremuneratedduring Covid. So are the government really willing to sacrifice themselves for us? are we really insured for? If so why so do the facts jolt us?

I think my opinion is pretty clear throughout the whole of this article, however I will justify for those who are suffering underneath the law and the affluent who can show nothing but sympathy. This must stop, the government must support us and they should help those who bear the pain by putting a smile on each day to show they are fine. Hence local businesses really are strugglinf and so are the ones linked to it.
