HOPE FOR A BETTER  TOMORROW

Helloo, @GOODVYBESWITHSHAM was on a  short break but since I wanted to spice up your
quarantine season, I decided to write an article on the Covid19 epidemic. Hope you'll like it!
Don't forget to drop your comments as well as sharing if you enjoyed reading this piece.😊

At the beginning of the year, everybody was excited to start a new decade. However, it seems 
like the year 2020 had other plans. Just when Kenya was on the verge of recovering from the 
economic downfall that was faced in the previous year, Corona Virus happened. Let me take you 
way back in January. Do you remember when the Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani was 
assassinated at Baghdad  International Airport by  the US government? His killing sharply 
escalated  tension  between the US and Iran and stoked fears of a military conflict, after Iranian 
leaders vowed to revenge. The #WorldWar3 trended in all  social media platforms but luckily for  
everyone, the war never took place. A few weeks  later, a swarm of locusts attacked the Northern 
parts of Kenya,  travelling further into other fertile areas of the country, despite the efforts made 
by the government to chase them away. As if that wasn't enough, NASA announced the 
possibility of a giant asteroid which is said to be "potentially hazardous" hitting earth and  
possibly causing  a disaster to its occupants. NASA is the body in charge of aerospace and 
civilian space program in the US.

COVID19 is a common virus among the bats, and is said to have been transmitted to humans

through bat soup consumption, popularly among the Chinese. The 1st victim of the virus passed 

it to his counterparts through body contact and before they realized it, the spread of the virus 

turned out to be the current world epidemic. Another #HantaVirus which was also discovered in 

China, is trending on Twitter, whereby the virus is said to be transmitted to humans through body 

contact with a rodent's urine, saliva or its consumption. My dear Chinese people, seriously? Rats?! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

According to the World Health Organization's latest reports, Covid19 has so far claimed the 

lives of 16,362 people globally. So far, 196 countries have been affected, having 375,498 people 

tested positive for the virus. Unfortunately, Kenya is among the victims of the Corona Virus, 

having recorded 28 cases so far, according to the Ministry of Health of Kenya.

This pandemic has led to global lockdowns of learning institutions, places of work, businesses 
as well as country borders, in order to control the spread of the virus. Since prevention is better  
than cure, you can control the spread and contracting the virus through observing personal 
hygiene, as well as quarantining as required by the government. There is hope of overcoming 
this pandemic, because despite the lost lives, a promising number of the Corona Virus victims have 
recovered. 
Individually, as a nation and also globally, we shall continue to acknowledge the souls that lost 
their lives to the Covid19 virus, by following the set instructions by our respective governments 

to curb the spread of the virus. I believe all this shall all come to pass, sooner than expected.
