One of the dreadful combats that shook the globe was the continuing battle against Covid
19. The global Coronavirus pandemic spread like a wildfire as it continued to harm the public
health and the life of the people. It had brought a life changing impact on people around the world.
The good life that everyone had dreamt of, suddenly turned topsy-turvy. Since, the virus was first
discovered in the last quarter of 2019, it had infected millions of people. Many had lost their lives
amid the pandemic. Life became feeble, dusted and perished like bubbles in the air as positive
cases constantly rising up in the different parts of the world. Some were silently screaming of the
pain of losing their loved ones while facing the nonstop day-to-day battle against the horrible virus.
Corona Virus Disease or Covid19 was a nightmare that constantly haunting the quiet and peaceful
life of people. It was a pest that destroying the country’s economy. Consequently, the global
economy fell like dried leaves on the ground. Many businesses, large or small closed due to this
incurable disease, as a result many people lost their jobs and continued to fall in the hands of
poverty and were locked in great depression. How painfully beautiful to think that the world was
getting so dangerous. It was not safe anymore to be alive.
During the best of times, the worst of times where there was a threat to public health, the
government was moving and was constantly looking for a solution to overcome and fight Covid 19.
They stepped in to meet the financial needs of the people. There were also our brave frontliners
who looked like lions in the fight to combat while caring for and rescuing the patients tested
positive for Covid 19 from the certain death bed. Despite the crisis that people were experiencing
due to the pandemic, many of our fellowmen were still willing to give a hand. Even our fellow
human beings who were suffering in life were also willing to give continuously to our neighbors.
However, in the midst of this pandemic, there were still some men who clasp with their crooked
hands that instead of helping, they were torturing the people mentally and emotionally. Many of
them were sweet poison with a heart as hard as stone.
On the other hand, this pandemic was a mirror that reminding people to be more careful
with themselves and their life. That cowards die many times before their death if they stop living.
That in order to keep the peace, one should war!
