COVID-19

• The world as it is today has survived many
  calamities in the past. This includes historical
  pandemics such as the Spanish flu and the Ebola
  virus. To think that COVID-19 might be the end
  of the world is just incongruous. The thoughts
  that the coronavirus should rather instill in you
  are those of resilience and a healthy caution.
• After all, Charles Darwin once said nature is
  sustained by the concept of Survival of the
  Fittest. Therefore, beating the coronavirus and
  continuing to strive will be our test of
  endurance.
• In a few weeks, nations will be forced to lift
  the ongoing lockdowns due to economic and
  developmental needs. Despite the ongoing
  prevalence of the coronavirus among the
  population, this move will be inevitable. Our
  next goal, therefore, is to find out the best
  ways of Survival.

So what can we do to protect ourselves?

• Infection control We have heard this over and
  over again. Washing and sanitizing hands
  regularly, wearing a face mask or covering, not
  touching your face unnecessarily, etc. Have been
  widely recommended.
• Stay at least a meter away from others. This can
  be difficult especially in overcrowded public
  transports. The government is looking into what
  can be done to reduce this risk.
• Avoid unnecessary travel within or outside the
  country.
• Consider shopping online. This is the future of
  the service industry to avoid crowding at shops
  or malls.

So what can we do to protect ourselves?

• Prefer having home-cooked meals or order food to
  your home if needed.
• Support small businesses and local vendors by
  buying from them.
• Work from home whenever possible. Crowding of
  offices poses a huge risk. For those who need to
  go to work, employers can organize them into
  different shifts to ensure lower contact and
  lesser crowding.

So what can we do to protect ourselves?

• Build immunity eating vitamin-rich foods,
  probiotics, drinking adequate water, and sleeping
  for 7-8 hours contribute to a better immune
  system.
• Be aware of the symptoms for the coronavirus and
  make sure to seek medical attention if you
  experience any of them.
• Avoid visiting a clinic or a hospital unless
  necessary. Opinions and queries can now be done
  online via telemedicine.
