TOPIC: Surviving COVID 19 Pandemic

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening where ever you are. I am
Trisha Camille Ortega, a student, a daughter, a human, and a victim.

“Happy New Year!” “Dear 2020, Please be good to me!” These are lines that
emphasized a lot of life deals with expectations for me. We can cope as long as
everything is what we anticipated it to be. This year has been like going on an emotional
roller coaster for me. The beginning, I mean, it wasn't so bad. There were certainly
some rough moments here and there, but it was all right. That's when things began to
go downhill when COVID 19 struck. We have time to prepare for pain and loss in a
mental and emotional way. But it's like wandering off the map in a foreign land when
expectations are disrupted and disasters strike suddenly. Many people are feeling
confused, left waiting, unaware about what their next few months are going to look like.

A pneumonia epidemic of unknown cause emerged in Wuhan, China, in


December 2019. At the beginning of January 2020, the virus was sequenced and
identified as a novel coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19.
The World Health Organization (WHO) cited that last March 2020, they called the
outbreak a pandemic, with current figures reaching more than 1 million globally infected
individuals. COVID-19 appears to be hitting a new and tragic milestone each day. More
than 210,000 cases have been identified to the WHO and more than 9,000 people have
lost their lives. Any loss of life is devastating. It's also motivating us to double down and
do whatever we can to stop transmission and save lives. Perhaps, by stepping beyond
our focus on the virus, we may learn how to survive it. Rather than thinking "how are we
fighting infections?" We may begin to ask, "How do we survive this current situation?"

The pandemic of COVID-19 continues to take a heavy toll on communities, families and
nations around the world, but it also gives rise to unprecedented acts of compassion,
unity and cooperation. We have consistently said that together we are all in this and we
will only succeed together. Governments are implementing unprecedented quarantines
and social distancing measures with COVID-19 to promote the containment and
reduction of virus transmission, efforts that are proving effective. Private and public
sector scientists are racing to find a successful vaccine that will be necessary for
preventing future infections and deaths, thus reducing stresses on the health care
system, the economy and community. The current pandemic of COVID-19 has created
exceptional challenges and has impacted the educational sectors, and no one knows
when it will stop. Teachers had gone through online teaching and some students were
experiencing depression because of the online class and modular learning modality.
Both are struggling with this new normal. Parents are also affected by the new normal
education system.
This year has been a self-reflection assignment for me. It made me deal with a
lot of things, for myself, the people around me and the important things that I have to
really cope with. There are times when I wonder perhaps the world wanted a time-out to
learn how to enjoy it, but it forgot to experience and feel it. Life is to be lived by
experience, not to be used for observing and comparing oneself with others as a
pastime. I'll learned something and I want to share it with all of you, “never forget to take
care and love more because you can't risk taking time or loved ones for granted in a
world where life is always unpredictable and ever changing.”

Despite of all challenges we are struggling with, I believe that the time will come
when all of this will end. I am also very grateful to all the healthcare professionals who
are on the front lines at COVID-19 around the country and around the world. This global
pandemic has been a catastrophe. I'm so grateful to them and pray for those who are
sick, too. I would also like to give my prayers to people who are losing their jobs and
struggling to feed themselves and their children. I hope to hold on to this feeling of
togetherness and acceptance of pain as we fight to survive this pandemic, so that it will
always be okay for people to share their struggles. We don't know what the world is
going to look like for days, months, or years to come, but I hope we can cultivate a
culture like this to make life a lot easier for us.

Now is a perfect time for us to look at the society we have become and how long
before the one we are currently facing; we experienced a different kind of pandemic.
With time, as the regulations of social distance begin to lift, individuals may begin to
appreciate life and connect with others more than they did before as a result of the
unique experience we shared while apart together. We must carry out a comprehensive
evaluation of the world's ability to sustain stability and solutions when faced with similar
threats in the future after we have resolved the pandemic, which will certainly happen.
To deal with these challenges together, we must also seek improvement.

Therefore, Live your life but practice social distancing, wear a mask anytime you
go out, and always wash your face and hands , but also be aware and no your limits to
do stuff you wished you had time to do: talk to friends, do a hobby, do volunteer work on
the internet or by phone. Distract yourself. Be happy. Be positive. Stay safe. Life goes
on. God bless us all!
