You Don’t Get to Decide When COVID Ends

More than a hundred days have passed and for the most part, we’re still stuck indoors. Some may find it difficult to deal with the looming cabin fever, while others may have new ways to cope with the quarantine. But whether you’ve gotten used to the new normal or not, this is no time to be complacent. 

With everything that has been happening, from celebrity call out posts to unfortunate current news, you wouldn’t really know where to put your attention on. 

However, despite this chaos, what is very clear is that COVID-19 is far from ending. Numbers are rising and with people going back to work soon and establishments starting to reopen, those numbers are bound to increase even more. Compared to around two months ago, there were barely any cars and people on the street, but now they’re back as if nothing happened. 

Just because malls are reopening doesn’t mean you should go out in big groups with your friends and family. Just because we’ve leveled down the quarantine measures doesn’t mean you should stop wearing a mask outside. Most importantly, just because you don’t know anyone close to you who contracted the virus doesn’t mean COVID is not a real, global issue. 

None of  these indicate the end of COVID. Rather, it’s a necessity for those who need to work and make a living for their families and loved ones. Looking at it from this perspective will put you in a place of empathy — you’ll want to follow strict health guidelines more. 

Let’s help each other out. Wear your mask, wash your hands, and keep social distancing.

You’ll find that there are actually a lot of productive things you can do indoors. Below are some activities you can start on to ease that cabin fever:

1. Get physical
