The War Against Coronavirus The world has been flipped upside down. New headlines around the world are showing devastating things: an unknown serial killer is on the loose and we are powerless to stop it. It does not discriminate between age, colour, race, or even species, killing wantonly, painfully, suffocatingly. Isolated, lonely, and scared. Locked up in a room with no other human. Wake up everyday living the same life: wake up, eat, work, sleep and repeat. They look out the window, longing to go outside, longing to see people, longing to get back to ordinary life. This malicious monster has struck globally, spreading tragedy across ocean and land, shocking nations upon nations. Slowly but surely it’s killing the innocent people who simply wanted to go out and enjoy life. Going out, seeing friends, resulted in tragedy that ended lives. Spending last breaths thinking about how loss could have been avoided if they had just stayed… “I should’ve stayed inside, washed my hands, worn a mask, kept two meters distant.” But this is not enough. It is everywhere. Anywhere. Everywhere. We can’t escape this. We are suffocated by this. We have to learn to live with this destructive demon. The devil does not look like it is leaving, we are just going to have to live with this horrific villain. Coronavirus!
