When Staying Home Means Saving Lives

By: E.R.D. Vins
“Stay Home! Save Lives!”
This is the thunderous sound of 2020; the plea of the frontliners to escape the threat of the unseen
enemy, the CoViD-19 (Corona Virus Disease). President Duterte, the government officials, the personnel
from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Department of Health (DOH), the policemen are
shouting to stay home so that the rising number of positive cases of CoViD-19 will not increase which can
lead to death.
Staying home is being advised in the meantime that vaccine for the virus is still on the process of
producing. However, it resulted both positively and negatively in all aspects of the people’s lives. Since they
stay in their homes, they have enough time to sleep and rest, and develop new skills or use the talents and
skills that were not practiced anymore. They have also quality time with the members of the family to chit-
chat as a result of home quarantine. Hence, parents are able to monitor their children, teaching them
household chores and other skills. Furthermore, less carbon dioxide is being emitted thereby making the air
and the sea clean. It seems that the seas and the sky have relaxed from pollution. Consequently, people have
the time to take care of their plants at home, and plant vegetables in their backyard. Thus, they have also the
time to meditate, reflect, and pray to God that He will protect them from this pandemic.
On the other hand, it also yielded disadvantages physically, mentally, socially, economically, and
spiritually. Due to not allowing people to go out of their houses except for very important reasons, they
became sedentary and less active physically. That is why, others really see to it that they can have physical
exercise even if at home. In as much as they wanted to go out, they could not go to the places where they
want to go like churches, malls, beaches, and other places. Drastically, it also affected the livelihood of
many of the people as they were not allowed to work and that they just relied on the government subsidy.
Thus, it can be realized that there is a great anxiety the CoViD-19 pandemic brought that even if they
wanted to look for a living, they were not allowed because their safety should be prioritized. It became the
waterloo of people around the globe.
Even if there are pros and cons of staying at home caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, indeed the
situation is telling that everything has changed, and that humanity is experiencing uncertainties and
vulnerabilities. Therefore, by staying home one could not be infected by the virus, and it is a great help for
the frontliners who battle to save the lives of those infected by the virus
