How is COVID-19 transforming me

Fear, anxiety, uncertainty, concern or hope, care, belief, faith, and co-operation how I am handling the Corona challenge?

I would certainly say that I was scared, anxious, and worried when I was supposed to travel this month for work. I was uncertain about what would happen if I traveled: is it a threat to me, my family, or others around me?

What if I got a fever and would be quarantined for two weeks: how would my family handle things, what would happen to my work, how would I be spending my time in quarantine….

I was overwhelmed with lots of questions, and they still remain.

I am a firm believer that every crisis brings with itself a lot of opportunities. We always need to be grateful for what we have.

I started to see people buying groceries in preparation for the uncertain time ahead. I understand the anxiety that comes from a feeling of uncertainty but buying a cart full of milk or more than 2–3 weeks of supply for toilet tissue rolls was something I failed to understand.

My fear was now transforming into concern for people and economy.
