I heard it first when my colleague was just joking about it. I heard it later on the news and then on twitter and then saw several shows regarding this topic.
I was super busy in my most important day and once I was through it all and watched the next day crumbling down upon us with the global crisis.
People were scared and stopped at the places, asked not to leave their homes, wash their hands and not to stock up and not to fear and fear and stay home.
Even then people didn't listen and went on hanging out as usual and then one fine day they had to declare it as a national crisis and now everyone is waiting for the day everything will be back to normal.
A virus which has caused havoc all around the world with its minor cold and cough and fever symptoms and enormous number of people dying because of this seems like an apocalypse.
I am staying in my in laws town which is closer to a Village and on a weekday when roads seems to be empty it feels as if the zombies have taken over the world.
My day starts with news about coronavirus and it ends with the news about coronavirus. I read and confirm and keep myself away from the rumours by fact checking everything we see in the news, tweets and what not.
Who knew a common cough , cold would cause entire world to collapse into an abyss.
Cities in lockdown and people not able to meet the communities to avoid spreading this anymore isn't less than any horror movie where we are scared of going out in the open.
Stock markets keep crashing down every single day, daily wedge workers worried about their next meal, rich and mediocre stocking food and essentials because of the fear of starving in upcoming days.
My husband said maybe it gave people opportunity to look back on our lives and think how we should be changing ourselves. It gave us a chance to take a break and try to figure out a more better way out there.
In all this shipwreck our environment surely flourished with the less pollution on roads, air and water.
People could see that not going as per the clock might not be that difficult as thought before and we can still slow down for the greater good.
Well the economy and the world is still suffering from all of its effects and we certainly will take a lot of time to overcome it, but as they say we have the courage and strength to overcome anything that potentially puts a obstacle in our paths.
I just wish it will be over soon and we will still be able to recover from its effects as early as we can learning the new lessons this solitude taught us. We can come up with new ways to coexist and reverse the damage done with our actions and live a life of less than more.
