“The first death for Coronavirus was found in Wuhan.”

I heard this on the news. Thinking that it was a random virus and only one person has died.

“We have found more than 100 people who have caught coronavirus. Masks are compulsory.” Even though I heard the news about coronavirus I still didn’t think it was serious. “Wuhan is in lockdown because of coronavirus. They are trying to build a new hospital for the patients.” I was shocked. I had never heard of locking down a country. I suddenly realised Coronavirus was serious.

A Few months later people couldn’t go anywhere they wanted, people couldn’t go to school, work or anything. I was scared. People started to fight for toilet paper, hand sanitiser and they kept buying things to prepare for lockdown. I don’t know how or why the world had turned into this disaster.

But this wasn’t the end…

“An Asian girl was walking down the street and was injured because of some people. They kicked her, punched her and spit on her because of the reason for being Asian and were called mean things because they thought she brought COVID-19 here.” Racism was happening. I started to shiver in fear. Why did COVID-19 come?

I imagined a world with happiness and fun, now it’s all bullying, fighting, racism. I couldn’t believe it! My routine became the same, tedious. Online school, lunch, exercise, study, sleep. Everyday I repeated the same routine. This is not fun at all. Now there are 4.71M cases of COVID-19 found world wide.

In these kinds of situations I believe that we have to stay strong and not be like who we are not. I think we should learn how to cooperate with others and understand others.
