In this post, Clea Colaco, 12, from India, attempts to shine a light at the end of the present bleakness that the world is going through.
A lot has happened in the past five months. Yes, I am talking about the Coronavirus Pandemic.
It all started in Wuhan, China (December 2019) when a newly formed virus started to spread from one place to another through human contact. When the condition grew worse day by day our leaders took certain initiatives.
The pandemic has started economic wars, people are left jobless and global hunger is more than ever. In this process, schools, certain companies, churches,etc. have shut down because of the risk of people getting sick.
Some of us think that we are better off without it but there is a positive side. So let's focus on that side. For example : -
- The air has never been cleaner since people rarely leave their houses.
- We have improved our sanitation methods.
- Most people all around the world are helping each other.
This pandemic has taught us a lesson but it has cost lives. We just have to let it go and leave that behind us to believe in a better future.
All these struggles are a test in life and we must be able to pass it. This pandemic is another one of these tests and we must gather up all our courage and patience and we must overcome this pandemic and move on.
Which is why we should remember this Dumbledore quote:

So when your darkness comes by, try to turn on your light by thinking positively or talk to your friends or family about it.
Stay Home, Stay Safe
Some preventive measures against the coronavirus are: -
- Wash your hands regularly (more than usual).
- Wear a mask when you are going out.
- Go outside only for important things like for a doctor’s appointment or for grocery shopping.
- Try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
- Stay in bed if you feel unwell.
- Seek medical attention if you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing.
