As we know, covid spreads through contact and is a communicable disease that can spread from one person to another, we must keep our distance from each other and accept the concept of social distancing. The COVID -19 pandemic is an unprecedented crisis that brings with it a lot of problems, especially for the poor and marginalized sectors of our society. Those who have low financial life and other means have the hardest time in this covid pandemic. Financial problems make it hard for them to deal with this situation. This situation creates a challenge for us same as do or die, we have to unite to deal with this. Because of the high population of literate people and good technology we are at least not in that bad situation. Government, international health agencies, and main officials are trying their best to stop this pandemic, we can also see that many people are doing their best to do something or following governments. They are getting aware of it. Our daily life is full of contact with our family, friends, neighbors, and society. We talk to them, play with them, work with our colleagues, etc. It just means we need interaction to do anything, to do work, to play, and everything. Covid pandemic has created a mass loss to us. Many people lost their jobs. The country’s economy has widely decreased. Many people lost their family members. The public gathering has been avoided on a large scale. Many activities like gym, parks, schools, colleges, offices, and many others where social gathering takes place have been locked. Every country has prepared for lockdown. Every single shop is seen closed. People are afraid to meet each other. The situation is going out of control. Crime rates like stealing have increased because of no vacancy for jobs and unemployment. People don’t have money. Prices of medicines, medical bills, vegetables, and foods have increased a lot. People need to do jobs for money to eat. Some doctors and private hospitals make use of these opportunities to make money. Many people died because of covid and some died because of only thought of how much money he has to pay and cause of fear of corona. But there are still corona warriors who are risking their own life for our sake. Some people donated food, money, clothes, and necessary things to the poor. Here everyone needs to do his duties to stop the spread of corona. Everyone is a corona warrior if he/she is doing his/ her duty properly. We just need to calm down and to need to protect everyone. We need to sanitize 5 times a day, follow all rules, maintain social distancing, avoid public gatherings, etc. In this pandemic situation, everyone is helping each other. There are many donation competetions held to help them. Many people have supported it. Many means are used to protect and help them. Many health checkups have held for them. Foods have been prepared for the travelers which were returning to their own hometown because they lost their jobs. Many communities have special facilities for them. Police have prepared food for the poor. Societies have prepared activities like online and virtual programs to keep them entertained so that they will avoid going out. They even sanitize the whole society. They always find various ways to avoid public gatherings. The government has started giving loans to start their business. Every watchman watches properly and makes sure no one will come out of their house without an important reason. Schools and colleges have started taking online classes. They make sure they teach everything to everyone and complete their syllabus even if they have to risk their lives. Some schools have given their land to the government and hospitals to treat the patients. After every specific time, municipal parties disinfect various regions. Some communities conduct free online competitions to keep children entertained. Government and private hospitals are giving free health checkups and medicines to those who are not able to afford it. Many big companies had donated ppt suits, masks, and necessary supplies to the hospitals. Everyone did what they can. Here we can see that Police, Nurses, Doctors, Garbage picker, government, reporters and etc are giving their best, because of this corona warrior we are safe and sound. They work hard and even do overtime so that we don’t need to step out of the house. We should not do anything that will give their efforts in vain. Even we can help them and join them to stop the spread of covid pandemic by following covid’s basic rules, avoid public gatherings, to inform everyone about it, wear a mask every time we step out of our house, etc. We are lucky to have all corona warriors by our side. Even though without vaccine it can’t be cured and we need to follow it till the date we found that, we can at least do our jobs and do our duties to stop it from spreading. We can join many communities and social activities where help is needed. Help them to reach our destination where we can go back to our normal life. It’s very necessary to do that as it is affecting many people’s life, hurting them, and even ending their life. Just like every corona warrior, community, and social people we must have faith that we can fight corona, make it disappear and we will. Best of luck to all of us in this fight.
