With our routines cut to bare essentials, it’s hard not to sympathize with this lady.

The coronavirus pandemic has evidently taken its toll on a lot of things – the global automotive industry, economic stability, and of course, on health. However, with varying degrees of restrictions and quarantines in place in several parts of the world, one of the most important hurdles that we have to face is the psychological adversity that this pandemic is hurling at us.

Being holed up inside our houses – with activities stripped down to just bare essentials – it isn’t a surprise that some things we usually do on a daily basis before may feel a little odd once when we get back on track.

These activities can range from hard chores like driving for hours, to simple ones like filling a car’s fuel tank.

 

Case in point: this woman who’s trying (and failing)

Silver futures for September delivery closed at $18.637 an ounce on Jun 30, up 3.17% in a day. The white metal has notched a gain of 31% in the second quarter — a dramatic comeback from a decline of 21% in the first quarter.
