Over the years, life has been going and changing in its various ways. From natural disasters, to unfortunate attacks, to diseases that spread worldwide. This is how life goes on. With all of these unfortunate experiences comes a great outcome where people can learn a thing or two. Today, we have a huge global crisis going on. This coronavirus has many people in tears and in hospital ventilators. It is truly a traumatic experience.
This all started in a city known as Wuhan, China. Unfortunately, people think this virus is just another virus. What people don’t know is that it is a sign from above. Our Lord and Savior is watching from above and He sees everyone contributing to this endless sin. He came down to earth and took upon a 100% human form to finish the scriptures that were written around eight hundred years before. He died on the cross for us so that he can pay for our sins, but the time has come where everyone is getting out of control.
This coronavirus originated in China. This was because the Chinese people believed that it was okay to eat exotic animals such as bats, rats, snakes, etc. It is known to be a delicacy to the Chinese when they eat these animals. If you are wealthy you can eat such animals. What these people don’t understand is that they are harming themselves and others around them from these stupid choices.
According to The Atlantic, three months ago, no one knew that Covid-19 existed. Now the virus has spread to almost every country, infecting at least 446,000 people whom we know about, and many more whom we do not. It has crashed economies and broken health-care systems, filled hospitals and emptied public spaces. It has separated people from their workplaces and their friends. It has disrupted modern society on a scale that most living people have never witnessed. Soon, most everyone in the United States will know someone who has been infected. Like World War II or the 9/11 attacks, this pandemic has already imprinted itself upon the nation’s psyche.
Having fallen behind, it will be difficult—but not impossible—for the United States to catch up. To an extent, the near-term future is set because COVID-19 is a slow and long illness. People who were infected several days ago will only start showing symptoms now, even if they isolated themselves. Some of those people will enter intensive-care units.
As of last weekend, the nation had 17,000 confirmed cases, but the actual number was probably somewhere between 60,000 and 200,000. Numbers are now starting to rise exponentially: As of Wednesday morning, the official case count was 54,000, and the actual case count is unknown. Health care officials are already seeing worrying signs: dwindling equipment, growing numbers of patients, and doctors and nurses who are themselves becoming infected.
Italy and Spain offer grim warnings about the future. Hospitals are out of room, supplies, and staff. Unable to treat or save everyone, doctors have been forced to think the unthinkable: rationing care to patients who are most likely to survive, while letting others die. The U.S. has fewer hospital beds per capita than Italy. A study released by a team at Imperial College London concluded that if the pandemic is left unchecked, those beds will all be full by late April. By the end of June, for every available critical-care bed, there will be roughly 15 COVID-19 patients in need of one. By the end of the summer, the pandemic will have directly killed 2.2 million Americans, notwithstanding those who will indirectly die as hospitals are unable to care for the usual slew of heart attacks, strokes, and car accidents. This is the worst-case scenario. To avert it, four things need to happen—and quickly.
There are four things that we can do as a global community to prevent these things. We should take care of third world countries as a start, next, everyone should try to be decently clean at all times, also people should try to help the less fortunate to prevent tragic incidents, and lastly, we should all come together as a whole, one human race to strive to be the best we can be.
All in all, these countries and their people are all struggling to survive due to this pandemic. It is truly saddening to see people lose their lives to a virus started by uncivilized people. They ate dirty foods that caused this whole issue. I truly don’t understand why these people thought it was cool to do such things. All because of these people we have lost many precious lives to people. I pray for everyone struggling with this virus because it has taken a toll on everyone’s daily lives.
