In the beginning months of 2020, a little-known something being referred to as COVID-19 had arrived across many parts of our planet. As time transpired, it would be explained that COVID-19 was, in simple terms, another coronavirus that had been discovered in late 2019 in China, a coronavirus that was identified in 2019, hence the name COVID-19. This coronavirus would later be identified as a second mutation of an already known coronavirus known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). This second mutation would take on the name SARS-CoV-2 and become synonymous with COVID-19. People getting tested for COVID-19 would be getting tested for the presence of SARS-CoV-2, with people saying things like, “You got COVID!?!” or “You got the Corona!?!”. However you wish to think of this, the fact remains true that daily life hasn’t been the same since the onset of this coronavirus.
There hasn’t been a unified stance across our nation with regard to putting an end to this COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2). Pose the question of “why?” and things begin to get personal, perhaps. How is it that an advanced nation such as the United States is unable to control such a situation?
What would happen if everyone bunkered indoors for “X” number of weeks? The cause and effect of everyone going nowhere for an extended period of time would be understood by all mankind for the sake of putting an end to this pandemic. So again, the question of “why” comes to mind, as in “why aren’t we doing this?”.

With a hope to answer some of your questions regarding the reluctance of so many people to do what is necessary to slow this deadly COVID-19 down. The swine flu of 1918 which I read was horrific and deadly killing millions upon millions of people. This generation, the most horrific tragedy we have experience in this country was 911, and the Republicans destabilizing our democracy, putting 80% of Americans’ freedom at risk! and now COVID-19! I think people have become desensitized to reality, especially when our leaders are not doing what is necessary to slow the COVID-19 or set examples. The President’s refusal to follow procedures which are, wearing a mask and keeping a safe distance in public caught the virus and was hospitalized. You would think! People would excise their commonsense to a level of preservation and listen to professionals. I find commonsense is no longer common and age does not make one intelligent. This COVID 19 is not going away unless we do what is necessary, Proper diet in order to build a strong immune system, Think right! Faith in your body to do its things. Stay inside, if you go out wear your mask and keep your distance. If you see a million people going in the same direction, that does not necessarily mean that is the right direction, it simply means a million people going the wrong way! We stop COVID-19 by doing whatever we must do!
Hurrah! After all I got a website from where I can actually obtain helpful information concerning my study and knowledge. Gertrud Hammad Terrene
