The pandemic has demoralised many of us, especially those of us who are employees and employers, with the lack of money, salaries being reduced and some of the really unfortunate who have been made redundant. It is difficult to digest that a virus could have affected the whole world this way.
Many of those employed overseas, particularly those in the Middle-East are stranded having been relieved of their jobs and left with hardly any money to even get themselves a meal. Repatriation of those stranded overseas is being carried out steadily, with the government having systems in place to ensure a smooth transition and making sure that COVID-19 will not spread all over this Island.
However, right now, we need to be aware that the virus could be lurking around us and be as cautious as we could be.
We should be happy that our Government together with the Forces have done a great job containing the virus and we should be thankful for this. We all wish that a vaccine would be soon developed so that we could get on with our lives. Until then all of us should try and boost peoples’ morale in any way we can whilst keeping our spirits up, bearing in mind that this pandemic will leave us one day. However, right now, we need to be aware that the virus could be lurking around us and be as cautious as we could be since only we can look after ourselves and not someone else.
