The invisible killer

By: Edzy Adeline I. Estremos


Of all the major epidemics of the world like
measles, polio virus and severe acute
respiratory syndrome (SARS), CoVid-19
made the biggest mark in the history. This
disease was the "world's biggest outbreak"
that have made the whole world "globally
pandemic". The 2019 novel corona virus-
acute respiratory disease or 2019 NCOV-
ARD had shaken the human world and was
renamed as CoVid-19. All of a sudden, the
human realm changed into something
different. People have been so conscious of
their health. We become very cautious and
vigilant of the health-related issues around
us.The changes brought by this pandemic
are the new terminologies used like
"quarantine",14 days quarantine , general
community quarantine (GCQ) and enhanced
community quarantine (ECQ),the
observance of one meter distance or social
and physical distancing, the person under
monitoring (PUM), the person under
investigation (PUI), the quarantine pass that
must be showed to the authorities in every
checkpoints and the strict "no
facemasks,no enter" policy in each
department stores,pharmacies,within the
city proper and also in the community is a
must to avoid the spreading of CoVid-19
disease. And if these qurantine protocols
will not be observed, penalties will arise.Due
to this corona virus,suspensions of classes
in all levels are hereby extended. The
corona virus as "invisible killer" lives in the
hands for 10 minutes,when it falls to
metals,it survives within 12 hours and when
it falls into fabrics, it also survives within 9
hours. So,washing our hands with anti-
bacterial soap and water for 20 seconds and
washing our clothes with anti-bacterial
detergent and water and being exposed to
the sun meets the purpose of killing it.
Gargle with warm and salt water kills the
tonsils germs and prevents them from
leaking into the lungs. If the virus is
exposed to the temperature of 26-27°C,it will
be killed as it does not live in hot regions .
Also, drinking hot water and sun exposure
will do the trick and staying away from ice
cream and cold foods is strictly advised.
Because of Corona virus,we need to protect
ourselves. The corona virus (CoVid-19) is
large in size where the cell diameter is 400-
500 micro and for this reason any mask
prevents its entry. This virus does not settle
in the air,but is grounded,so it is not
transmitted by air. The adherence of the
instructions of the world health
organization (WHO) and the United Nations
Children's Fund ( UNICEF) fulfills the
purpose of preventing viruses. The corona
virus is a silent killer that ends million lives
and tremendous number of corona virus
patients were being cremated to prevent its
transmission. Virulent as corona virus has
deteriorated many health and many lives. It
was so bad that the dead patient of corona
virus has to be fully-covered by thick
plastics and be burned. Eventhough many
families have not seen the bodies of their
love ones, they stayed strong and remain
faithful to God. It is very painful to meditate,
but it is a must. All of the frontliners
nowadays were at risk. That is why they are
called as "heroes in the hot zones" because
they cure patients with Covid-19 but with a
higher probability to be transmitted to them,
where anytime they can be positive by the
corona virus. They just putting their fears
away because it was part of their
commitments as nurses, doctors and
medical personnels. It was their main duty
to serve fellowmen most esapecially in this
time of health crisis. Although many people
today are degrading and descriminating the
professions of our medical doctors and
nurses, let us always be kind to them. We
must be fair. They too are humans,they
deserve to be treated well. Social
descrimination to all medical personnels
does not give bigger contributions to our
society today. Instead, we should lift each
others back to be able and be motivated to
serve and fight against all sorts of viruses.
Let us heal as one. Together we can beat
this crisis when we help each other,share
each other and love each other. Love will
heal mother earth and all of the people living
it. I believe that this pandemic will pass one
day. Through sincere praying, I strongly
believe that miracles will happen because
the true miracles are found in our hearts.
Being strong is all we needed. At this
time,we need to oblige quarantine protocols.
Together we become tougher than ever.
