My Actifit Report Card and Update: April 19 2020

Hi Everyone,

I'm back with another Actifit Report. I am still struggling to remain active during the lockdown. I have been spending more time in the garden with the dogs. I've been chasing them up and down. Mango misses his longer walks. We will have to check the forest again soon to see if it is less busy.

I have mowed the lawn again. It is growing well with the better weather and it cuts fairly well as it has been quite dry. I have also been kicking around an old football for a bit of entertainment.

Content Update

I have been busy with my Hive content. I have posted twice about Covid-19 and have posted once on my new account @captainhive.

My focus for Covid-19 has been Government intervention strategies and the impact on the economy. In the first of these posts, I outlined possible Government intervention strategies. Strategies can vary from doing nothing to comprehensive support packages for businesses and people. The post also discussed targeted support for the vulnerable and/or most effected.

In the second post, I analysed the possible economic impacts of discussed strategies. I analysed these strategies using basic macroeconomic models such as the AD-AS Model and the Phillips Curve. These models were used to visually display the impact the strategies would have on output, prices, and unemployment. This post also compared funding approaches. The Government could fund expenditure directly with tax revenue, borrow by selling bonds or with newly created money. Each of these approaches have different implications.

On a lighter note, I posted from my @captainhive account. I intend to use the @captainhive account to showcase some of the pictures and characters I create to help explain my Economics content. This account should help promote my own work as well as Hive, hence the name @captainhive.

That brings me to the end of another Actifit Report and Update. I hope you all have a great week ahead.
