Covid-19 The new normal?
No, never! Though covid-19 has been there for about a year and it might seem like this is the first pandemic, it is not. There have been longer and more dangerous pandemics before. One example is the influenza virus or Spanish flu. This pandemic started in 1918, since there weren’t many scientists or doctors that time, it was hard to develop a vaccine. Spanish flu mostly affected young people and more soldiers were dying due to Spanish flu compared to the soldiers dying at the war. This pandemic ended in 1940.
Even though this pandemic was very dangerous, it ended. And, I believe that if Spanish flu ended even though there were very few doctors and scientists, this pandemic will definitely end soon. Till then people around the world are taking precautions. Even I took precautions like
~ Wearing a mask
~ Washing my hands from time to time
~ Follow social distancing
~ Not going out as much as possible
~ Celebrating festivals at home
And if the school reopens, I will take all the precautions.
I believe that Covid-19 is never going to be the new normal, because this pandemic will end like every other pandemic did. However, this is just my way of seeing it , it’s just my perspective. So, I ask again -
“Is Covid-19 the new normal?”
