COVID-19 pandemic has a great impact to us especially in our day to day lives. Overall, there are many changes happened to each and everyone of us neither bad or good. For instance, countries around the world observed general community quarantine (GCQ) which cause livelihoods to stop. Many people suffered due to the fact that they lost their jobs and still there are mouths to feed. Furthermore, students experienced academic freeze which may affect their lives. Lastly, this cause people to be anxious about their safety and health especially healthcare workers and many other front-liners for the reason that they are risking their lives to give holistic care to these COVID positive patients. On the brighter side, families stayed together in their houses. They have the chance to bond with each other. People can do their hobbies like planting plants and exercising to keep one's body fit. Also, others put up small businesses and sell it online. Many people also learned how to use computers and other gadgets because they used these for entertainment but most importantly using these for online classes and meetings. As of March 2021, there are over 2 million deaths have been reported and recorded to the World Health Organization. We need to take care always so that we will not be infected by the said virus for the reason that it is contagious and it kills. Educating the public about the virus transmission and how to prevent it can slow down or stop the spread of the virus. To fight against this virus, there are certain protocols we need to follow and observe around the world. People around the world are required to wear face mask and face shields in going out in the public. Handwashing and sanitizing are also essential. We are taught to disinfect anything first like groceries before using them and washing food like fruits and vegetables before consuming them. Children and older adults are not allowed to go outside due to research shows that these groups are the most at risk. We are also grateful to researchers for patiently studying this virus. For determining the cause and ways to prevent the spread of the virus. Vaccines are now also available and I hope in the future these vaccines will have a 99.9% effectiveness. For this reason, people will be safe and maybe others may trust vaccines again. As of the moment, we are on the brink of the pandemic and we all hope that this virus will stop the spread and we can continue our normal lives in the future.
