Global effect
The Covid19 outbreak has led to the breakdown of the world system. Businesses, International trades, and local trades had taken a wrong turn and many struggling countries are already on the wage of recession. It is not a new thing anymore that most countries Government has advised her citizens to stay indoor in other to curtail the spread of the Virus. Eventually, the Nigeria Government announced a lockdown order 14days ago in other to reduce the spread, but just yesterday night, the President addressed the Nation and he placed another 14 days to calm the spread. While this is good in one aspect, there is another side effect that could hit the people really hard. The good way in the sense that the restriction of movement by the lockdown will probably curtail or probably stop the spread of the virus and the bad way for the citizens that have to move daily to get their daily bread have to forcefully stay at home, which could lead to an increased rate of poverty, crimes, and aggressiveness in search for food. Robberies are already going on in some part of the country and more violence & hunger will add that might lead to the death of many.
Personal effects
This covid19 affected me personally over here. Schools were closed and I had to come down to stay in the house. I am an extrovert and staying in a place for so long makes me feel really bananas. I stay in the house 24/7 no fun, no outing, no picnics, no visiting friends. The part I miss is the aspect of going for lectures, meeting new people and getting new ideas from the outside world. I also like eating street foods. Yeah, many people don’t support this, but I like street foods. Now every street food seems like contaminated foods, and not safe anymore.
Before the outbreak, I was supposed to have my exams at school, and I was also planning on enrolling into a dancing class after my examination. I have flair for music and I like to improve every part that will give me values in things that I do. However, all of these have been put into a standstill for now till further notice. When will Covid19 be over? The World Health Organization (WHO) today claim that it is only vaccine that will end the spread of the virus which will take a while. The animal system is strongly immune to the virus so possible solutions will be tested on humans.
Now all I am stuck at home all day with my annoying younger siblings, making silly videos, sleeping eating, playing, watching movies and playing soccer in the evenings with my elder brothers. The majority of news now is Covid19 and with no hope of when the virus will end. The things we see are recoveries, deaths, and cases. It is recorded also that some patients that were cured and discharged at South Korea are testing positive again. This virus shit is causing more alarm and scary. I can’t just wait for the end of the virus and stay at home to be called off so that I could go back to school and do my things again, to have the chance to go for picnics and feel the world.
Stay safe
So guys stay good and safe and I hope you enjoy your quarantine and use it judiciously. This is the time and global chance to have a better version of yourself. You could do some good to yourself and better your life when you go back to society again. For this period do not forget to wash your hand and sanitize after touching surfaces, practice social distancing and watched for any sign or symptoms. I believe if we follow the rules we’ll all come out of this together and have our normal lives back. I believe that there will be light at the end of the dark tunnel. We just need to stay indoors and take the right precautions.
Thanks guys and stay safe.
