The world was caught by surprise by the modern pandemic Covid-19 virus starting January 2020. One by one, countries affected begun to mandate its people to stay at home to "flatten the curve". The way people lived changed suddenly, how business operates, the world slows down, and we have no choice but to stay home to do our part to save lives and survive.
Staying at home does not mean we will get bored and just wait for things back to normal. I cannot understand some people complaining about being bored while frontliners are sacrificing their lives to fight against the pandemic and those victims suffering from the agony of isolation and fear. As we stay home, we can take our part in taking advantage of the time we have right now. Here are some random things we can do at home:
1. HELP IF YOU HAVE THE MEANS IN CASH OR IN KIND . Helping one another is one of the positive thing that happens these days amidst the crisis.
