THE IMPACT OF PANDEMIC IN OUR DAILY LIFE.

Right now, the world is fighting against the coronavirus. It’s alarming because a lot of people
has been affected by the virus and the lives of many are stopped even mine. My daily routine
was totally change, before I can able to go to my friends and talk to them, but it’s totally
different right now “Messenger” is the only way so I can’t talk with them. I’m sociable kind of
person that’s why it’s hard for me not to mingle with my friends.

The fact that school is closed for the rest of the year, had such a huge effect on my academic
career. I am not used to be at home all the times and working on the computer. I usually in a
classroom surrounded by my colleague. However, since I am human, I can learn to adapt, but
for the time being, it is difficult. It’s affected me personally in the social and educational aspect.
We are now excluding ourselves from other segments of society by mutual distancing. This
made me feel very much disconnected from my friends. Humans are made to be out and about
and socialize with beings on Earth. These unfortunate events have led many people to be
disconnected from society. This has allowed my mind to go to the dark side, where my fears
came out. My biggest concern is, "How long will my life be on hold?" I’m afraid of how long I
will be stuck in the house and can’t able to see my friends. Will it be a couple more of weeks or
will it be a couple of months? Food insecurity and psychological distancing are two things we're
seeing as well. Instead of what is going on in the world, People are extremely scared. and
cautious about food supply and interactions with people. People are scared and are being
advised to keep inside, so we stock up on supplies that will last them about a month. Usually,
people get stuff that we will last them about two weeks, but now we need to stay at home as
much as we can. We have no idea how large this effect will be or how long it will last, but we
are ready for it, and we call upon ourselves to be good stewards and our friends to help us and
pray for us as we do our best also to serve others in these days.
