5 Advantages of Staying At Home in Lockdown

India is fourth among the countries severely hit by the Covid-19 crisis. As many people struggle to earn a living, the easing of lockdown restrictions has brought some relief. Those who were stranded have found their way back home.

To control the spread of the virus, staying at home is advisable, especially for people who are sick and elderly. Our planet earth has been healing since the lockdown resulted in a reduction in carbon emissions. The air has become cleaner, giving us the best views of nature that were once hidden by the harmful blanket of pollution.

The curbing of health risks is among the significant advantages of lockdown and social distancing measures. Although the restriction seems to test our patience levels, yet it has given us many simple pleasures of life we had been deprived of, earlier.

We discuss some benefits of staying at home in lockdown.

Those respondents who stated they would use a particular sort of person as a source of help were also asked what the disadvantages of this approach would be; responses are again summarised in Table 5.Top of page

Overall, fewer respondents identified disadvantages than advantages. Because of there being generally lower response to this part of the question, there were fewer obvious differences among sub-groups of respondents.

For the most common course of action, talking to a family member or partner, the disadvantages most often identified were that the other person might become upset or that s/he might not be able to relate to the problem. It was also said that discussing such an issue might be difficult or embarrassing.

Among the 396 young people who said that they would talk to a friend their own age, relatively large numbers identified possible disadvantages in doing so. The disadvantage most often mentioned (40%) was the risk of breaches of confidentiality; people in the 14-17 age group in particular were concerned about this. Twenty-six per cent noted that such a friend may not have adequate knowledge (females were more likely than males to mention this - 30% vs 21%). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander respondents raised the issue of confidentiality (48%), and also mentioned possible lack of interest or sympathy (33%).
