The novel pandemic COVID-19 has brought unprecedented despair to the world and people are struggling to stay safe. However, with several countries calling for a lock down, there is still hope of containing the infection. However, the death toll is still in thousands and there are still some accounts of people not taking the threat seriously.


So, since a lot of us believe real-life accounts more than news reports, here are some that will help you understand the magnitude of the situation. Please take these words very seriously and follow every protocol that has been advised by health officials and your government. 

Losing a family member is a pain most of us know but if we can prevent it by staying indoors, do it. 

If places of worship which are the first people go to when in crisis can be empty, the least you can do is stay and not put yours and others life at risk.

Nobody wants to read about endless obituaries in the newspaper and we need to take proper care in order to make sure that we or someone we know doesn't end up there. 

The old deserve to live their life to the fullest and they are the most vulnerable to the virus right now. It is unfortunate that we are losing so many people. May their families find peace.

Nurses and doctors are at the front line with all of this and are watching people die every day; they are putting their lives at risk so they can save others. Please think of them the next time you 'feel like stepping out of the house'.

The situation has gotten to the point that the Italian government has called on retired health experts to come and help them during this crisis.

Countries have varying mortality rates and that just means you never know when it could get worse.

People are also dying due to stress and other reasons because the fear is real and is a huge trigger for those with mental health issues like depression and anxiety.

No one should have to bid goodbye to their loved ones from far away. Stay home for those who have already lost someone, stay home for those who could lose someone.

This is a reality no one should suffer from. Families will never be the same again and it's time we act responsibly and take this extremely seriously.

Take care, people of the world. It's us against the virus.
