Oh Snap

I still can't seem to believe how our world has changed in an instant like a switch has been toggled and here we are, nothing's ever the same because of the pandemic. 

Our medical force is heaving all over the world from overwork just to keep everyone alive with little to no sleep gravely sacrificing their own health and relationship with their families through social distancing and excessive gruelling working hours required from them to heal the ailing. If the current situation has turned physically and mentality taxing then be their guest.

The solution may sound easy yet seemed farfetched from reality due to budget constraints, mass testing. The University of the Philippines has a solution to this, a cheaper way to mass test however, the government would rather patronize outsourced ones from other countries which puts more strain on the country's empty budget. We are wallowing in debt prior to the pandemic so just imagine now how poverty stricken countries will recover from this? Many businesses had declared insolvency, massive lost their jobs and the worst, many lives were lost and people are dying of hunger. When is this strife ever gonna end? 

My appeal to mankind, let's not make the situation more painstaking as it already is by keeping ourselves safe through wearing of face masks and now, a face shield whenever necessary, not to mention being hygienic as it's totally out of the question. We are facing a war which only God knows how long it'd last. 

2020 is a totally unforgetable prelude to a new milleniun as a lot of unimaginable things we wish to just bury in the past emerged not to mention the recent blast in Lebanon. My heart and prayers goes out to the families of those who suffered. 

To wrap up this writing, I just wish everything will be back to normal again but our healthcare experts cannot do it alone nor our government. Please stay home for as much as possible because we have no choice really but to accept the current situation as being adaptive is good for mental health.

I know it's tedious to wash our hands all the time, disinfect everything, stay away from crowds for as much as possible. Don't risk everyone in your household 'just because' you're not a homebody person all your life. Don't be an Ostrich (not that I hate Ostriches in fact I find them amusing because they run fast!) except one of an Ostrich's traits is refusal to face reality, that they would rather bury their head than face the truth. This is not the time to deny what's visible to eye, let's accept and learn to get by with heaps of help from up above.
