Covid 19....a true test to Humanity!
My country Uganda became the latest country to go on semi lock down yesterday as per the President's instructions. Mass gatherings of people have been banned and schools closed for 32 days pending review of the situation. Most of Europe is already on lock down and many countries all over the world have closed borders and banned foreigners from entering! I had never lived in a pandemic before until now. The previous pandemic was the influenza of 1920 which killed an estimated 50 million people around the world. I can imagine that's a truly frightening number but covid 19 has caused such chaos, such panic and brought out the worst in people! We are now creating divisions based on how many cases have been discovered in certain countries and people from those countries have now become "persona non grata" We need to stand together in this situation. While i understand how bad the situation is, i think we need to handle it with more sensitivity. Lets not trade insults...
