COVID-19

Covid-19 is a pandemic. Billions of people are affected by this and many of them are dying. Kids cannot go outside and play; schools are closed and we can't visit family and friends. Some people have to quarantine and social distancing is something that is being practiced all around the world. Many companies have laid off their employees due to COVID-19. Many are jobless and feeling isolated. Covid-19 has caused many people to be anxious, stressed, lonely and possibly depressed.

However, so many good things happened as well. It has brought out the good side of people. In Italy, during the lockdown, some musicians and bands did free concerts online to help people cope during isolation. You hear stories where people have offered to pick up groceries or help their neighbors, and even strangers who are unable to leave their homes. You see so many examples of many communities coming together to help each other in this time of need. I think if people keep doing these acts of kindness, we will be able to get through this difficult time a little bit better and live in peace with each other. I hope we can return to a better ‘normal’ when this pandemic ends!
