Are the sins that are still being committed by the people? I don’t know if it’s
natural phenomenon or a punishment to our wrongdoings. But sometime later around
the last day of the year which was December 31, 2019. There was a man confined to a
hospital in Wuhan, China. He suffered similar symptoms just like the flu that lead to
Pneumonia and later on his death. The shocking thing is that it didn’t stop there.
Because as the man passes through alleys, streets, buildings and later in the hospital.
He was already transmitting a new type of corona virus affecting hundreds then
thousands then later on population of the world, including our country, Philippines.
The sad truth about is, many are suffering. Many stores, shops, clinics and such
were forced to close. Many grocery shops when this thing hits the fan. Where out of
stock of necessary products. There was this on time where I go to buy an alcohol for
sanitary purposes but was sold out due to the demand.
In connection to this, I heard a news that said “The World Bank is committed to
supporting efforts to strengthen the Philippines’ capacity to prepare for and respond to
natural disasters as well as health and economic shocks like COVID-19,” said Achim
Fock, World Bank Acting Country Director for Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines and
Thailand.
The World Bank has approved a $500 million (about ₱25 billion) loan to support
the Philippines' efforts in the fight against COVID-19.
