In such a fluid time, the coronavirus has resulted in an avalanche of other problems such as turbulent stock markets, a sharp drop in oil prices, disruption of concerts and conferences, retrenchment, and tourism greatly affected. Countless flights have been canceled, companies are downsizing and for those without any back-up plans, the coronavirus is going to hit hard. We’ve learned that in such a time of crisis, it reminds us to always have Plan B because life in itself is unpredictable. Things will not always go the way we want it to and it always pays to be adaptable. As frustrating as it can be, the coronavirus teaches us to be resilient in the face of adversity and to be patient. It’s easy to succumb to our worries and let it rule our thoughts, but it takes greater strength to understand the matter at hand and deal with the consequences responsibly. There’s so much to learn from the COVID-19 outbreak, but we feel that the most important lessons are centered around people. Even though the coronavirus continues to spread, racism, fear, and harassment is spreading even faster — and that’s alarming. Knowledge and transparency are key to curb the growing fears but most importantly, it boils down to people’s perspectives and mindsets. While some may view COVID-19 to be a curse, it serves as an extraordinary chance to improve our healthcare facilities, our political stance, our plans, and our general outlook. If COVID-19 can’t unite us, is there anything that can?
