What’s Next Now?

Where do I begin? Firstly, I would like to take a moment of silence for all the lives we lost during the global crisis. It really took so long for us to move forward & carry on into the same, but also different, daily routines. With this new change and shift in how we attend to our tasks, let’s not forget to truly appreciate and thank all the first responsders who stood in the frontlines fighting this viral pandemic.

Secondly, I must say it’s been such a great joy to see how many folks have gone above and beyond to volunteer in helping their neighbors in the community. Whether if it was checking on them with a phone call, or even just going to get them groceries when they were not able to afford to buy more because of their tight budget while they were in search of a new job. It’s so amazing to see people getting to brighten each other’s day.

On one hand, the crisis has brought a lot of panic, anxiety, and lots of grief, then on the other (hand) it has taught us all to value the simple tasks and work of any job (much more) which seemed to be small such as: the mail workers (who bring packages and see to it that it arrives on time), the caregivers (making sure those being cared for are taken care of well) and to the ones who always work tirelessly to provide the best healthcare~the doctors, nurses, all medical professionals— putting their lives at risk 24/7 in order to save as many lives as possible!

Thirdly, let’s give a round of applause to the artists. The writers, painters, poets and creative minds- sharing their talents to the world with works bringing a smile on people’s faces. Putting a work of art that reminds us all to keep carrying on and not to lose hope even when things look dark/gloomy.

Lastly, let us keep on working together to build a better world for the next generation to come. They will come a time for them to learn about how the world came together to battle the corona virus. As long as we wake up and rise with the fire of our dreams burning in our hearts- we can keep on going to work & share our gifts for the world to enjoy. After all, we only one life and we can move forward by continuing to live with hearts full of love to share with the rest of the world.

Note: At this point for this submission/entry~ scientists have worked on developing treatments for those who test positive for covid-19. They also end up providing a treatment which they advise any one who has the signs/symptoms of the corona virus to take as soon as possible. This way the number of cases can be controlled & the curve can be flattened.

Leading to a whole different highly effective tactic to help lower the spread of the virus. Those with a chance of higher infection & at risk of infecting others are advised to still self quarantine (or isolate) at least for 14 days— before they can gather, hang or meet with their kith/kin.
