Covid-19 Pandemic

It’s been nine months since we are battling against Novel Coronavirus Disease.
The coronavirus changed the way we live. Things are much different than they used
to be.It not just affect our economy but also our lifestyle. And we are now adjusting to
“New Normal”
I noticed that our Public transport looks very different, with social distancing in
place and commuters wearing masks and face shield. The Education system also
changed. Schools and universities have moved online, and some are having their
modular class. With the help of social media’s like Zoom,and Google Classroom we
are able to connect to our teachers to teach us with our lessons. In my own experience,
it is really difficult due to the poor internet connection here in our hometown. Work
has also changed, some workers removed form their work because of the protocols of
the Government. So some employees are now having work from home to minimize
travelling on public transportation and gathering groups in the office. Social greeting
have been transformed.There are no more handshakes, hugs and kisses. These
gestures has been changed and replaced by elbow bumps, foot-shakes or waves from a
distance.
As the number of Covid patients we have nowadays, I am deeply grateful to our
governments, and to all our frontliners. I am indeed amazed and proud because they
are our modern hero. They are risking and sacrificing their lives just to saved others.
As we struggle to cope up to the “New Normal” with the rest of the world, I hope
that the spirit of our resilience and the camaraderie among Filipinos and the global
community persist and win against all the forces that try to bring the whole world
down. Let us stay safe, well-informed and positive as we fight hand in hand. We will
get through this crisis together and we will be multiple steps closer towards a new
wold with a healed humankind.
