Biggest Pandemic Lesson

The coronavirus pandemic has been a great opportunity for people to learn what lack of preparedness means especially to the medical community. However, that is not everything as people now are better but the lessons learned are very many and various depending on the body or the person involved. Coronavirus hit my family hard and I was very stressed that I won’t finish school in time. However, my school was very punctual in bringing in ways through which we could learn online and still finish in time. The biggest lesson that I learned from coronavirus pandemic was that the people close to us should be cherished and taken care of. That we should spent more time together with our loved ones because if we lose them and we were not close enough we might likely regret.

I had an aunt I was very fond of and since I was very busy with studies, I never managed to go to see her yet I very much wanted to. She was also very fond of me and she had always wanted to meet me and talk to me. However, when corona virus struck the country badly, I just managed to video call her and we did no talk for long. After the video call I was informed the next day that she was positive with corona virus and she had been put into isolation. With her being in such a position I could not actually ask her what she wanted to talk to me about since she was stressed and all talking had to be light and towards making her feel better. Within a week she passed away and I was left with a big hole in my heart as I tried to understand what she meant to me. From that time on I called all the people who were close to me, all my friends and I began being socially active since some of the people we love the most can experience death at any point or at any time with the corona virus.

Therefore, from the experience, I understood that any person you love could die anytime and the best way is to live like it is the last day. That means loving them to the maximum, taking care of them and generally cherishing them every other day. If people actually lived with way, we would have not enemies or jealous people as everyone would be working towards becoming better and the people around them would help them become better in every way possible. This could be the ideal society and in a way the pandemic has tried to show us that we could develop that society by focusing on how o become better. By making ourselves better than what we were before and trying to make sure that whatever we do we do it with the knowledge that someone else will be affected either positively or negatively. The pandemic has taught me that love is free and should be given to the people close to us free of charge and in the best manner possible.
