MY TAKE ON COVID-19

The current pandemic has indeed caused a serial disruption in the way every single thing is done globally. It is safe to say COVID-19 is here to stay, at least till it is completely contained.

There has been a conspiracy theory that this virus is not really new. It was known back in the day as SARS- Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. This virus resurfaced in 2019 and has been christened Corona Virus- No thanks to China!

A positive effect of this outbreak is seen in the digital transformation and acceptance by the entire world. The logistics and IT Industries should not be toyed with 😉. The Telecomms space has also seen the implementation of 5G in some climes.

The negative effects range from its impact on oil price and economic downturn cannot be overemphasized. A lot of people did not think this virus was anything to be worried about and did not take precautionary measures seriously- the global death rate reflects this.

It has come with a lot of lessons too like taking your health serious- the human immune system is key. Innovation is extremely important in this times as we have to continuously strive to invent better ways of solving daily problems- there is enough space for every innovative idea. The importance of having a PLAN B is also one not to joke with.

COVID-19 is not a death sentence. Take all preventive measures from washing your hands thoroughly with soap, using hand sanitizers, avoid touching your face, wear face masks + gloves and eating healthy meals that can boost the immune system.

Be gracious enough to turn yourself into the isolation units in order to help prevent the spread. This too shall pass!
