December 2019. Who could've thought that a flu that emerged from Wuhan, China could cause global catastrophe? The virus spreads throughout the world. Economies collapsed, death toll rises, unemployment became a huge problem. Businesses closed.
Nobody saw this coming that from a place in China, a flu virus much potent and deadly sprung and cause global deaths. Initially-thought to have come from eating bats, but it's a lab child virus.
Numerous lockdowns, health facilities on the brink of collapse due to surges and resurges. New variants mutate. Vaccines on the roll-out.
And now it's August 2021. Vaccines were rolled-out but it's still not quite able to reach herd immunities in some countries. We still live is masked world. We have been bereft of fresh outdoor air to breathe for 1.5 years already. How many birthdays and special occasions we've missed because of prohibited gatherings. Places of worship are likewise closed.
Online jobs and remote arrangements have been made. No work from office yet given that the pandemic is not yet controlled. Travels (international and local) and tourism is not yet permitted. We have such a sad, stressful life during this pandemic. Anyone agree?
