I hope you enjoying your best of health
2020 is a year of a great lost. As this year started, many issues are risen. Corona virus is one of them. As the virus began to spread , my college
Phase exam were started and on the day of March 22,2020, I was preparing my CHEMISTRY Exam then I suddenly saw the News on college
WhatsApp group that Tomorrow will be no exam. I felt shocked. Later I come to know that in city of China which is Wuhan a virus comes to us
which is Corona Virus. I took precaution and study online.
One day my close friend came to my home to meet me. I met him and he said that he was ill with fever previous week and now he is recovered.
Then the next day I felt a little fever and day after my health was in very bad condition. For instance my oxygen level rises, I cannot smell
anything, I also rarely taste food and flu occur. I got infected from my friend and my ALL Family got infected from me. It was not a fever, it was
actually the CORONA VIRUS. Once I realized that in got infected i was very worried and I felt that death is near. My mom and father are also
infected, My mother did not give hope. She gave me different type of soup and some other natural soups. I took some medicine and slowly I got
recovered. It was said who can hold his/her breath up to 20 seconds did not have any corona virus. Once I survived ,I quickly go to the doctor and
bring medicine for parents and ALLHUMDULILLAH by the will of ALLAH THEY ALSO RECOVERED.
Covid_19 has completely changed my life, my study, my routine and hence everything. But somehow I survived. Government also took many actions
and send SOPS and TOOK COMPLETE LOCKDOWN.ON March 23, 2020 first lock down occur and everything suddenly stopped. Our board exams also
cancelled and I promoted. The corona virus cannot be diagnosed easily. It diagnoses when it is in extreme case. It symptoms are FEVER, no SMELL
ISSUE, No taste in food, Weakness.
Pakistan reported its first 2 confirmed cases, on 26th February 2020 linked to travel history of Iran. The number of confirmed cases nationwide rose
to 7,025 on 17th April 2020 with 135 deaths and 3276 confirmed cases in Punjab,2008 cases in Sindh,993 in Khyber Pathunkhawa,303 in
Baluchistan,237 in Gilgit Baltistan,154 in ICT and 46 in Azad Jammu Kashmir. To-date 7000 Pakistani pilgrims have returned from Iran and placed in
quarantine in Taftan. Directing of pilgrims back to their cities without testing at the border resulted in introduction of virus in country. Pakistan’s
weak healthcare system with 0.6 bed for 1000 people and less than 0.75% of GDP as health spending is doubtful to bear the COVID-19 shock in case
of exponential increase in cases.
Now I conclude our experience of covid_19_that low literacy rate and general lack of awareness leading to non-seriousness of people towards the
adoption of social distancing and hand hygiene. The high population density in major cities of Pakistan can facilitate in the spread of virus. Three-
pronged approach of trace, test and treat needs to be aggressively implemented to halt the community transmission leading to exponential
increase in cases.
