WHAT COVID-19 HAS TAUGHT US

It's the most talk subject lately, COVID-19. It has taken a toll on all of us, globally. Despite all of this, it helps us to reflect what we all have miss out before this outbreak happened.

We all have taken things for granted for as long as we lived. Hygiene, saving for rainy days, emergency fund, quality time with our love ones and planning for things that matter the most.

1.HYGIENE

People are flocking the supermarket to buy masks and hand sanitizer. Items that only certain individu needed depend on their job scope. These people who bought in bulk without thinking about others who also need them are selfish. These create panic buy. Even toilet paper! Buy not to worry, for as long there are soap or handwash, you're good. Keep your hands clean as frequently as possible. 

2.FOOD SUPPLY 

Government has assured that stocks and supplies of food and basic necessity are more than enough during this restricted movement order. So please don't rush to buy groceries. Just get the essentials for this period, so you don't have to go out everyday. This also reduce the exposure to crowd and unnecessary contacts. Leave some for others when you buy.

3.FINANCIAL

Lots of business are closing and this event surely has an impact on the economy as a whole. For small businesses, self-employed and those who are paid daily, this makes the burden even heavier for them. It will be even hard for those who doesn't have enough saving to cover their expenses. In this situation, you wish you had save more. There are a lot of uncertainties in this world, not just this virus. Might as well prepare, because we  ever know what will hit us next. 

4.QUALITY TIME

Wish you had more time? Now you do..unless you're one of the frontliners (salute and respect to them). This is the perfect time to have that activities you and your wife and kids longing to do! Get that Monopoly board out, practice that song on an instrument, make that YouTube video you been dying to record. Tons of fun activity and playtime for the whole family you can do at home. Talk about the past time, read that book,cook that recipe..the list is endless!

So for as long as you can, cherish this moment. Try not to look the bad side of it..look for positivity. In this time, your emotion should also be look after..stay happy, stay active and most importanly..STAY AT HOME
