Finally, I'm talking about the PANDEMIC.

Finally, talking about the pandemic. Theses words : COVID-19, pandemic, quarantine, self-isolation, etc ; I just don't like to hear them. The only thing relatable to those words are anxiety, deaths, losts, sadness and lots of negativity and I'm not going to lie, I HATED it.

 I was keeping up with the news since December and as soon as the country imposes quarantine - MCO (movement control order), everybody was reacting like a  bunch of doomsday preppers with a do this or die kind of mode. Things changed quickly overnight that the first two weeks of MCO was pretty hard on everyone.

There were also lots of rumors going around on close people that we know who are positive with the virus and the fact that there is no specific medication for it, we feared for the worst for these people. It wasn't helping that most of us, ended up bombarding our brains with constant death toll rates of the virus and it was depressing to be that way. By the end of the second week of MCO, most of us agree that maybe we should just limit the amount of time we spend reading the news because it does no good to your overall being but create more chaos and anxiety.

Fast forward today, almost three months since the quarantine, things are getting more relaxed. Infection rate is decreasing in the country and so it the death rate. Things seemed to be getting better and we are hopeful that the virus will die out on its own way before any vaccine will be produced. 2020 has been a very challenging year for all of us and I still feel sorry for people that I know that I am not able to extend much help to them in their time of needs and I can just hope that we can somehow make it through things and for sure things will get better with time. 

This pretty much summarize my thoughts for this year up until now! Hurray!
