THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE FUTURE
Before December 2019, everything was going well and good in the world. Life was hustling and bustling, people were busy with their schedules, and children were happily living their life. It all seemed so alive, so normal.?
This was because no one knew what the last week of December 2019 had in store for all of us, throughout the world. It was in late December, 31st of it to be exact, when unexpectedly, several cases of pneumonia from Wuhan, China was reported to the World Health Organization (WHO).?
This seemed strange because these cases of pneumonia had no apparent cause, yet they seemed to be dividing rapidly, the cases started multiplying with every passing day, and it was not until January 2020 that a previously ‘unknown’ but new virus was identified in the lab samples of these patients. This virus was named the ‘2019 Novel Coronavirus’, and the disease that it caused was named the Coronavirus Disease.
But, unfortunately, this was not all about it. The disease was not contained within Wuhan, China, and slowly but gradually, reports were heard from different countries that a similar disease had taken its course in other countries as well. The main reason for this disease spreading from country to country was because of its unknown nature and rapid transmission from man to man, which at first, because of negligence, could not be controlled immediately.
And finally, with the uncontrollable and unexpected surge in the cases of COVID19, it was declared a ‘Pandemic’ by the WHO in March 2020. This disease took the world by storm and even to date, it has not been fully controlled yet.?

While everyone was scared hiding in homes and looking for ways to contain the pandemic I took another approach to help. My employer sent me from door to door serving dying veterans. Throughout that first lockdown, I was out there risking my life to save seniors on minimum wages. The things I saw during that period were mind-boggling.
I saw how vulnerable mankind is, so I decided to do the unimaginable thing based on my African ways of life to save my life and help those who needed help the most. The idea came to me that I should help using what I know. It will take three years to finalize a practice that will fundamentally affect how we will live in the nearest future.
