The Corona Virus pandemic has been going on worldwide for almost a year. It is true that in the beginning there was much panic among the people about Corona Virus which has now reduced a lot. I can remember, I did not go out from my house for about a month during lockdown due to Corona Virus. It may have happened to many like me. In the pursuit of life and livelihood, people could not maintain this lockdown for long. Another reason that gave the hope is the death rate. It is observed that the death rate is much lower than the rate of Corona Virus affliction. Another reason to take coronavirus lightly is that it is better to fight coronavirus than to starve to death at home.
Corona Virus is currently the name of a worldwide anxiety. Of course, inside all the bad ones, there is a possibility to have good ones. One of these is our habit of wearing masks. Especially in developing countries like ours where the rate of air pollution is very high, it is very important for people to wear masks. Due to the constant construction work on the roads of our Dhaka city, a lot of dust is blowing in the air. In addition, there is black smoke from the vehicles. People wearing face masks can protect themselves from dust and black smoke. Black smoke and dust from vehicles can cause a variety of allergic diseases in humans. So, wearing a face mask is a good habit. If we look at the previous time before the coronavirus, we will see that very few people used to wear face masks. People are now forced to wear face masks due to this pandemic situation. Now there is a new rule, if anyone does not wear a face mask, he will be fined. So, wearing the face mask is now mandatory.
Another important task has become the habit to the people due to Corona Virus. That is to wash your hands with soap frequently. Where before, we were probably wash our hands at certain times of the day such as after using the toilet, before meals and coming from outside. On the contrary, we are now much more aware and wash our hands very frequently than before. As a result, coronaviruses as well as other viral and bacterial diseases are declining in our body. Corona Virus pandemic have made this happen.
Also, health awareness has increased among us now due to coronavirus. Earlier we may not have taken many minor diseases like cold, and other diseases seriously but now we are quite aware of them.
Reading the above article you may think that I am speaking in support of Corona Virus. But the reality is that according to the Worldometers, so far 1,477,097 people around the world have lost their lives due to the Corona Virus. So, undoubtedly it is a dire virus. I just want to say that awareness of Corona Virus has improved some good habits among us. And we hope that these habits will continue in us.
Thanks for reading.
Stay safe and healthy.
