COVID-19 SIDE EFFECTS AND SECOND WAVE MORE SCARY

he covid-19 pandemic has taken the world by storm and continually restricts the activities and movements of man. It has also proved to have many destructive phases dangerous to the existence of mankind. Although, the main scare of the pandemic is the fear of contacting it, but there are tons of side effects to the outbreak of the pandemic.

To begin with, the depression that came with isolating is more destructive than the pandemic itself, living alone and staying away from work, friends and all is more depressing than anything., It has always crossed my mind more than one occasion, that while we are trying to mitigate one pandemic, we may inadvertently be rearing another big headed monster.

Going out in this time now look surreal, everyone’s face covered with masks, some black, some white and some fancy, with floral fabric and even lace trim, but that can’t change the fact that half of the human face has been eradicated by this virus, only the eyes visible. They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but COVID-19 has changed this narrative drastically. Though the eyes tell part of the story, but the soul can be glimpsed only when one has access to the whole of the human face, once the mouth and nose is covered, there’s no way to get into the soul or heart of anyone.

The impact of this deadly pandemic continually show it’s face even when the world thought its first circle has been passed and it’s in his retrogression stage. Although, there’s a perceived improvement in our society in terms of movements and lockdown policy which has a transformative effect. Once we think the recently dull alleyways and roads begin to blossom, there’s this social distancing awareness that still remind us of the type of society we must share with our neighbors, family and friends. Despite all these awareness and cautious move to caution this pandemic, It’s seen now that the lockdown and restrictions have been relaxed, theres a rise in community spreading by reports made available to us in news and analysis.

The fact of the matter is, it’s easy to become depressed than to contact it going by the means by which we are to curb it, living in COVID days isn’t interesting at all, no night life, although football season is back, it’s still restricted. Even people who posses huge tolerance for loneliness has no match for this virus and what it demanded to stay safe. We have never knew, until now, how truly important are the small gestures of goodwill one finds in a stranger’s smile, in the brushing of hands, in the clatter of commerce. Even the atmosphere seems to have succumbed.

In summary, we need more caution in this period, It’s more deadly now that it seems we are getting over it. According to report, community spreading is on the rise and more death of older people are witnessed. The WHO projection for the second wave of the pandemic warn about the disastrous effect if the instructions are not well adhere to by the populace.

There has been rise in number of positive test results over the last few weeks all around the world, sports like; tennis, golf have also witnessed a sudden surge in rise of positive tests and more is expected in football in the next few days,

There is a need for us to be more mindful of our health in general without putting all concentration on COVID-19, live well….live hygienically…. do all that’s necessary to stay alive, COVID is still here and deadly, but we must stay alive.
