Motivation Question

❓ What is your impression about the current global and national health
situation?

Faced with the current health situation because of COVID19, it is quite

impossible to find the words to describe what we are going through since this
is something that most of us have never dealt with before — the threat of
transmission of the virus, the troubles of being quarantined and not being able
to go out as much as we want, and the reality of major losses, both in human
terms and economically. At the initial phase of the threat of the pandemic, I
was scared and anxious about going out and making contact with people but
now on the 7th month of staying indoors and not being able to see my friends
and classmates and the longer the quarantine isn't lifted I am feeling more
upset and disappointed of the system of our country because even though
strict implementations were made and the longest to exist around the world,
the COVID19 curve albeit decreasing has not reached a significant level and
downward trajectory.
