    Don't let pain define you, let it refine you.

    the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters - one represents danger, the other
    represents opportunity.
    John F. Kennedy

    Let this year - 2020 - be a learning curve in our life's trajectory. A year in which we reset the priorities of our life. Our health, family, and personal care should always take the topmost position among our
    priorities. We must practice equality in thought, word, and action without being biased towards any community, religion, or skin color. We must follow our principles in life and stay committed to them. Our lives
    must be a testament to continuous learning. And we must take utmost care of this planet - our mother earth if we want future generations to stay here.

    While this is the first pandemic caused as a result of a coronavirus, Dr. Tedros said that it also is the first pandemic that can be controlled.

    The fundamentals of public health have proven successful to containment of the COVID-19, according to Dr. Van Kerkhove. She cited some of these
    measures, specifically mentioning activating emergency mechanisms, taking it seriously from the start, repurposing government officials to tackle the
    virus, testing, quarantine, case and contact finding/tracing, mobilizing the population to protect themselves and practicing basic hygiene.
