The Lesson I Have Learned Through This Pandemic

A pandemic is a plague of an infectious disease that has spread over an

large region. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Even though a portion of the restrictions was lifted, the pandemic isn't
over yet. Today, 02.06.2020, there are still 3 MILION active cases
worldwide. So, here’s what I learned during this ongoing worldwide
pandemic.
First of all, I learned how to stay close to the people I love, while in
distance. Even though we had to obey the health rules and remain
isolated, we still managed to keep in contact through the internet and
social media. Seeing new faces, and interacting with other humans
outside the people I’ve been quarantined with, helped me a lot through
these tough times.
Second of all, I’ve learned to adapt to this situation, and the adaptation
had to be done fast so we could continue our lives at a somewhat
“normal” rate. I’ve learned to teach myself the lessons our teachers
would normally do in school. And, to be honest, it was hard at first, but I
managed to do it in the end.
Lastly, I’ve learned that prevention is better than curing and that
hygiene is very important. It is better to prevent getting a disease than
get sick and perhaps even die. So, my advice would be: wash your
hands as frequently as you can.
These are a few of the things I've learned during this ongoing pandemic,
now, my question for you is, what have you learned through this
worldwide pandemic?
