That would
most likely be your expression when you discover that this post is actually
about Corona Virus... the infamous virus that has put the world on pause-COVID-19.
More than facts
and figures, we’ll be having a brief overview of the impact and different
perspectives the pandemic has created in our immediate society.
Without
wasting space and time, we’ll start at the origin, China. The outbreak of COVID-19 has left a lot of
people with angry questions ... ‘Why must it always be China?’...Or... ‘Who eats stuff like bats or frogs or other
gross unmentionables?’. I remember seeing a post on social media with a funny
request ‘Can’t someone just nuke ‘em already?’. It shouldn’t be wrong to
whisper that this is a question of a culture, way of life, a pattern of eating
et cetera.
A funny question could be... ‘What if our eating Amala or Fufu, or any other traditionals like even palm wine, led to a viral pandemic? Would it call for similar questioning?. Pointing of fingers will most definitely not help in developing the much needed remedy to this situation.

*This post
was not meant to induce arguments but to provoke thought and parallel
reasoning.*
Looking at
its influence on society as a whole, the ‘stay safe ‘campaign. We’re advised to
remain in isolation, as this is the best way to curb transmission. The effects
of the outbreak in our society can be broken down to caution and panic. Panic
due to lots of misinformation and exaggerations of the spread and virulence of
the pandemic. Indeed, COVID-19 has made us value little things as hugs,
unchecked movement, free sneezing(yeah), crowds and others. And even when this is
over, it has the potential to have indelibly affected our relationships with
people even down to our personalities as individuals.
It is best
that correct information be gotten, precautionary measures be taken, and
communication be kept running. Physical isolation is probably the safest, but
check up on friends and family, share advice, state of being and
experiences...we have phones and social media. Corona virus is not transmitted
by love, or simple care! Don’t visit though
Other
speculations remain, as to the genesis and intent behind the virus. But time
reveals all.
Corona is
dangerous, panic more so. But is the greatest danger the loss of sense of
humanity?
