The coronavirus has changed the way we live, and it has changed my daily life to some extent as I am stuck in my house, like many others, during this time. There is no such thing as lockdown here, but as someone whose mother works in a hospital, I feel like I should stay at home instead of unnecessarily going out. I don't want to harm myself, my family, and others. Therefore, it is better this way because I feel safer. However, since the government announced the "new normal" scheme, many people, including some of my friends, are going back and forth to cafes, restaurants, or public spaces, although the situation here is terrible. Currently, my hometown is going through a wave of infection; it is severe with more than 200 active cases as my home hometown is a small town with only less than 200.000 population.
The cases are increasing day by day instead of decreasing. Even people who practice social distancing can be exposed to this virus when doing essential activities like getting groceries or working, let alone those who spend their time sitting for hours in a coffee shop, taking off their masks, and chatting with their friends. I hope these people will realize soon that by doing so, it will only prolong this pandemic.
However, I'm thankful that there are still people who are doing everything to help stop the spread, no matter how boring it may be. I appreciate them. As for me, my routine is repetitive, and sometimes it is dull. I want to see my friends, we had plans to go on a trip, but it got canceled. I have been staying at home for at least six months, and I am fully willing to do so in hopes that we can return to normal soon.
Many people out there are not in the same position I am now, they can't be with their family because of this pandemic, and it must be really hard for them to spent tough times alone, so I am grateful for the blessings that I got. I plan to pursue further studies or work far from home, so I am glad I can spend time with my family before I pursue those dreams. I always ask myself if things will ever go back to what I consider "normal" again. I hope that it will, and I hope that I will get the opportunity to do the things I want to do. I understand very well that we may have to do this for a long time, maybe until the end of this year or maybe until half of next year.
