... And The Earth Stood Still!


Once upon a time! Time Time!

The earth was lockdown. The world was shutdown. There was no business as usual. The shutdown days varied from country to country. In some countries, it was 14 days. In others, 30 days, while in another, until further notice... There was no more group meetings or hang outs. Churches and Mosques were closed down. Restaurants, night clubs,  Hotels,  Parks, and Schools, were all closed until further notice.

If you asked someone questions, they were afraid to answer you because of the critical social distancing. And self isolation has become the order of the day. Doctors and nurses are working round the clock with face masks, hand gloves and protective gowns. Visitors were no longer allowed in the hospitals and in the nursing homes. During the crazy shopping, toilet rolls were sold out in most supermarkets.

Scientists and  Professors in the field of medicine did not no how this thing (Covid-19) spread so fast... The first and most important preventive care, was hand washing. Hand washing had become a world wide national anthem. No one remembered global warming anymore,  as everyone now wore disposable gloves and mask as preventive measure. The media was the only business that was booming, as everyone had to stay at home watching tv and playing games or web surfing.

Some hoped the Scientists would find a vaccine or cure... soon The developed countries were doing everything to combat this thing, just to minimize the fast spread. Well, everything looked so different and human beings were now living like allies to one another.

Some European countries decided to reopen starting from next week. The country with the first case, had already reopened few weeks ago. After the developed countries were planning to reopen, the third world countries were now starting their own lockdown, with brutality, leaving their citizens in pains. They had no water to wash their hands. They had no food to eat and some had turned to robbers. There was robbery every where. The police and the Army who were  to arrest the criminals, were now arresting and beating innocent people.

Well, I hope someday this thing will disappear completely from the surface of the earth and human beings will move on with their lives and their daily activities. The lies, the true, the fact, the fiction, the prediction, everything that this thing has brought shall vanish and fade away very soon. Those who lockdown the earth will be the ones to reopen it. With or without vaccines against this pandemic the earth will be reopened. No wars or pandemic can end the world until Jesus returns again. Do you get? Fear not! Live and embrace life with gratitude to God. 

Well, we have enjoyed the peacefulness of the earth in a long time, since after the ´´World War II.´´ The kind of peace human race experienced can not be penned down. Going back to human history, there had always be social unrest either by wars or pandemic. If people don’t die by weapons of war, they surely will die by diseases. So sad! However, no one can trace how this virus originated and how it spreads. Some claimed there were predictions about it and so on.

Well, investigation continues and we hope the truth comes out in due season. Hopefully a vaccine and antiviral drugs will be discovered and produced to immune people against the virus. Meanwhile, preventive measures continue. Personally, I don’t think the preventive measures should be a problem though but on the other hand, in the third world countries this a big deal.

However, doctors says the best advice is to follow public health directives and protect and others, and of course take care of yourself. Stay safe and peace to the world!
