“The First Quarter of 2020”

2020 doesn’t turn out to be the year that everyone wanted it to be. Outspokenly, the first quarter of the year was completely sucked because of the widespread of Coronavirus, and the rest is full of uncertainty. We don’t know when it will be passed, or when we will have the vaccine or cure of it. 

Seeing the news updated on TVs and social medias, people have been soaked with anxiety, worrying about ourselves and family who might be unconsciously infected with the virus. I am one of the examples. Recently, I have been really stressed of the situation in which I have fallen and challenged. This has irritated my own work and study too because I can’t concentrate well on the tasks. 

Even though I am currently working through online platform, still I am required to travel to my office as it is the place where I have to complete my duty as a teacher. Thus, I must be really watchful and always keep an eye on my personal practice of hygiene, in which I frequently wash my hands with sanitizer or alcohol. Plus, I also wear surgical mask whenever I am outside of my home to reduce the risk of bringing bad luck back. 

Besides, there is a good thing that my parents and my sister have stayed home since the government decided to closed down all public and private educational institutions halting all forms of physical classrooms. In term of proactive prevention strategy, I do really appreciate this effort from government as it supports social distancing which is the most powerful way to slow down the number of infections.  

Having tried all my best to prevent myself from this severe virus, I hope that I can increase the extent of my family members’ safety. Moreover, I hope we all will go through this hard time together.
