The Covid-19 Pandemic
The Corona virus has made a drastic change in the world. The world is facing many serious problems due to this virus. The number of deaths are increasing each day. The entire world is in fear of this deadly disease. People of any ages can be infected by the Corona virus but older people and those having health problems such as Asthma, Heart diseases, High Blood Pressure are likely to develop complications if infected by the virus.
Covid 19 is a virus which affects the lungs and it spread through social contacts and also through droplets emitted by coughing or sneezing by the infected person. Therefore, in order to keep social distance, the government has ordered lock down for a long period of time and because of this many important events which were planned to take place were either cancelled or postponed. It has affected us in various ways, for example, the examinations , important meetings , going abroad , house construction , house shifting , wedding and other important social functions etc . Many people who live on daily wages are facing financial crisis and by staying indoors for so long have disturbed our systematic daily routine of normal life.Prevention is better than cure . Even though medical science and technology have developed , the cure for this disease is not found out so far, and no one has invented any vaccinating against this virus . So the only way to prevent the disease is to take precautions. For this, we need to stay at home and avoid contact with others as much as possible and as we all know , we must wash our hands using soap and water or using hand sanitizers at regular intervals in order to keep our hands germ free and avoid touching of our eyes , nose , mouth frequently . We should wear a mask if we have to go out to purchase essential commodities . Most importantly , we should avoid junk foods and must eat healthy food that will boost our immunity power so that our body will be able to resist all kinds of virus and germs . Every clouds has a silver lining. We can also consider this epidemic as blessing in disguise, because of the lock and reduced use of vehicles for such a long time, we now have a pollution free environment. Another thing is that people have become more health conscious and hygienic. Though we need these in our earlier lives, we now understand the importance of cleanliness and eating nutritious food. Another good result of lock down is that the accident cases and even the crime rates have come down which bring more peace. People who have hectic jobs are now tension free and can have some relaxation . And , for us children , they also have more peace of mind since their parents are available with them always . People have plenty of free time to do kitchen, gardening , micro greens forming and have sufficient time to spend for their hobbies . The family bond are united together and above all, people have understood the value of prayer . We should have utmost gratitude and appreciation for all the doctors and nurses for rendering their selfless service and also for all the caretakers and volunteers who are working day and night for the welfare of the people . I hope and pray that this life creating pandemic may come to an end as early as possible, any way nothing is impossible for the God .
