COVID-19, as everybody knows is a worldwide pandemic, and it has affected health, economy, and people have lost their jobs too. Everybody may be thinking that COVID-19 is substandard but it is not, it has a lot of positive aspects too (pun intended)! We can perfectly relate to the quote- ‘All bad things have a good part about it’ by relating to our current situation.
This pandemic has created many different changes in our lifestyle but not all of them are bad for example, The postpone of gatherings, traveling, etc. lead to less pollution in the air, land, and water (from vehicles) and subsequently less traffic and cars on the road which was a huge problem before the pandemic. The accident/death rate has also reduced because of the decreased number of vehicles on the road. The crime rate has also had a great downfall in all parts of the world. There has been a reduction in vehicle transportation and industrial activity which allowed nature to recharge and replenish. Due to the lockdown, people have been able to spend more quality time with their families despite jobs for adults and schools/colleges for children. The virus has given us a lot of spare time which was used to do other activities before the pandemic, taking advantage of the extra time people have been able to learn new things, get innovative and create new things (youtube, websites,etc.)
In this situation, we can’t do much socially and outside your house like go to school or to your office or go meet your friends. To “replace” this everything has gone virtual from schools and offices even hobby classes have become virtual! There have been many improvements in software and technology with new ways of learning like Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom. Then, of course you get tech-savvy and have a lot more knowledge about technology or different kinds of updates and websites.
The coronavirus is a disease and to stay away from it, we need to stay hygienic and stay healthy, for a better immune system so our body can defend itself from COVID-19.The virus has taught us to be hygienic. For the people who get affected with COVID-19 there needs to be a properly functioning healthcare system, so people can get cured from various diseases and live a healthy life afterwards. This gave a chance for the government to realize and improve the healthcare system in different countries.
We would like to conclude with a quote - "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”
