Coronavirus.
Pandemic.
It took time to learn about it. It took time to adopt measures to fight it.

Social distancing.
Washing hands.
Wearing masks.
Some advised us to take Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc.

The nation ran out of toilet paper.
The Debate was: toilet papers vs bidets.

Unemployment because of Covid. Stimulus checks.

Hunger, and long lines for food.
Lockdown. Stay home order.

Zoom was booming and saved companies money on meetings. No plane tickets, hotel rooms, or restaurants charges.

Staying away from gatherings.
Schools went online.
Graduation ceremonies online.

Covid impacted our culture.
Most restaurants transitioned to delivery and outdoor dining!
Outdoors dining was already the norm in many countries.
Corona brought that welcome change here.

The vaccine became available.
It helped prevent hospitalization and death, which is a good start.
The vaccines are all good in general, but we need to follow the guidelines of safety regardless.

Some told us that the process of developing the vaccine was quick, which is something that could not have been in years past.
I was wondered who would be willing to take the vaccine?!
To my surprise, many people waited in lines overnight to take it!
Amazing!

It looks like the more people who get vaccinated, the fewer hospitalization cases we see.
I think the vaccine is good to take as soon as it becomes available
Yes, I would take it.

One year passed by.
Many people lost their lives.
Many families lost their loved ones.
I hope the vaccine will put an end to this pandemic

One guy from India claimed to find the cure:
One cup of Pepsi cola mixed with yogurt for two days as a cure and prevention.
I took it as a joke! Unfortunately, many did not.

Smoking is another story.
If you smoke that will help you when it comes to Covid, supposedly.
I am not encouraging you to smoke.
Just sharing what I’ve heard!

Covid shut down the world
But everything in this life has good and bad sides…

Covid brought families together.
My three kids graduated.
Although, no jobs yet.
We are all healthy.
Blessings.
Covid taught us a lesson to slow down and reflect.
Be safe.

Thank you for reading.
