Survival of the Fittest

Good day! I’m James Andrew C. Saurane, 19 years old, I live in Meycauayan, Bulacan, I’m ambivert but most of the time being alone makes me feel better, I also love hanging out with my friends and having all day bond with them because it makes me feel that I’m free. I think I’m charismatic & adorable.

On March 8, 2020, our President issued an order declaring the entire Philippines was under the state of public health emergency due to the Corona virus disease (Covid-19) the reason why the classes and also any other works are suspended, as of now the Department of Health (DOH) reported 76 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection. Philippines has 3,094 COVID-19 cases; 144 dead; and 57 recoveries. It’s better than the other countries having a multiple persons infected by the virus especially the USA.

Are we gonna win against this battle? or If it’s a game where level a we now?

According to Charles Darwin from his work The origin of the species, the world is a mechanism wherein it’s the Survival of the fittest and elimination of the weakest, so that for us to be able to survive we need to be strong, we need to be wise, and we need to be a great fighter. This Pandemic virus creates a big fear to the world but being afraid wouldn’t help us to overcome and win against this “invisible opponent”, we need to do something, let’s be optimistic & think that this crisis is a blessing that can makes us all cooperative. Most of the people believe that Covid-19 was come from China(Wuhan) and started spreading throughout other countries and become a big problem. Covid-19 causes many people to die and makes the community covered by threat, it makes us all prison on our own home, but we all know that this is just a prevention on the problem that we have. We need to strengthen our faith and believe that it will end up soon. We also be thankful to those front liners that serves their lives just to cure and fight against this opponent. Here at the Philippines we are free to share our opinion about the issues that we have, we are also known about being positive even though we’re facing a big problem, yet because we’re optimistic, many of us also gave much our time using social media and now there are many posts about the pandemic many people create funny images or memes just to make our problem lighter and loosen up the negativity brought by the virus. Mass media and Social media are helpful medium for us to be updated and know about the happenings in our country, many personalities giving their messages about what we need to do and the best way to prevent the spreading of virus but being dependent on social media wasn’t always helpful to us because there are many fake news and toxic posts that makes us more threatened so that we need to be wise for all the informations that we read and watched. As of now there are countries telling that they are recovering from the virus that’s the reason why we don’t need to be afraid and believe that God is just doing his plans to make the world beautiful again, waiting is worth to do. As of now due to Enhance Community Quarantine there are many things that we can do like ensuring you have entertainment items on hand such as books, board games and card games.
Take advantage of communication apps and keep in touch with friends and family, there are many to choose from that offer difference services depending on your needs. If you are able to, do some work from home to keep your mind stimulated. You could also consider studying and learning something new or playing an online game. Don’t forget to keep your body moving -do yoga, online fitness lessons, skipping, etc. Many apps are available for fitness instruction, as well as free content on streaming websites such as YouTube. Lastly, stay hydrated and keep regular sleeping patterns.

Nevertheless, here are some tips to ensure we minimise the risk of exposure to any germs, it is always advisable to wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand rub if your hands are not visibly dirty. When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. Maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing and have a fever. Tell your health care provider if you have traveled in an area in China where Covid-19 has been reported, or if you have been in close contact with someone with who has traveled from China and has respiratory symptoms.

I don’t want my family lost and I know many people have the same thought, so that to protect our loved ones we need to be strong for us to fight against the big opponent that we’re facing, always pray and make yourselves covered by faith, let’s be obedient and listen carefully to the government because they’re just doing their job.
