My essay about the covid pandemic, any topic about it, how to fight it, and measures to prevent it in 2021, April 18.
In the world, a lot of people died because of the coronavirus. I would like to express my deep sorrow and heartfelt sympathy for them.
That started when orders disappeared. Last January, suddenly world traverses couldn't come to Japan. Shops had to close and our company did nothing. I felt that l couldn’t eat and might lose where I sleep. I was surprised, l lost my senses, l was taken to the hospital by ambulance. I felt that everything went wrong and l fought with you my English teacher. I wanted to forget about the spreading pandemic or didn’t want to think about it. TV news and SNS always gave us a lot of bad news. I felt that no one taught me measures to protect from it. Although l didn’t have work because shops were closed, l went to my office every day as usual and at the same time. I who was wearing a mask often, went the long way about. Ironically, the sky was really clear because there were no cars and people.
I thought while walking, l had time to do something, and this was the time when God gave us. For a long time, many people were busy, they must have wanted not to go to their office and they realized that for working from home, their long commuting time was not necessary. First, they were surprised at working from home with their family, though, and then little by little, a small ingenuity was born.
I thought that Japanese TV, media, and SNS should respect and admire Japanese people more, their efforts have been great, and praising must lead to more efforts, but they only told us companies. I’ve heard that some countries' leaders told people about their victory against coronavirus where people died more than in Japan.
People have to protect themselves, overcome it by themselves, they could do many things, but we couldn’t realize it.
Even during the coronavirus, l must be able to do something that I want to do. I started to study English again and could update my blog pages as far as one thousand. I started doing weight training to have dance class but l haven’t told it to anyone yet. (A TED speaker told in the past that a person who studies other languages tries to practice dance somehow.) When coronavirus is over, l am going to surprise my friends who would gain weight because of the coronavirus. You can start something from today because it’ll take a little more time until the end. I really love my job, though, it might not be needed by everyone now so I wait for a chance with being ready completely.
By the way, in the morning, l sometimes saw a father and his son jogging when l went to my office. The father seemed to be good at it, though, the son’s form and breaths were not good. I wanted to tell the son that and if it’s fixed, the son will catch up with the father or l hoped that the father taught the son about it, however, it continued for several months.
However, only a few days ago, l just saw two people jogging alongside with smiles!! The son has grown up greatly and it must deserve to overcome the pandemic.
To change your thoughts, to enjoy having time, and for me, not to watch TV were important. I believe that humans could grow up anytime and anywhere.
