COVID 19 PANDEMIC — THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN

COVID-19 ....things will never be the same again!

These insights from WEARGOODVIBES.CO touched my heart ♥️ in these unprecedented times and I wanted to adapt these thoughts using my photos and collages.

I didn’t feel like I have to think up new thoughts, when the words hit what I feel at the bullseye.

This is dedicated to my family and to my extended family in the workplace and all my dear friends near and far who may not be physically with me but always a part of my life.

Thank you to the Zamboanga City frontliners,  and all over the world, especially to the Ciudad Medical Zamboanga family for your dedication and service... where performance excellence begins in your hearts! 💕💕💕 (P.S. some staff photos are from the CMZ FB Page)

I hope you can relate as you read through these images....

We thank the ALMIGHTY GOD for the all wonderful people around us, who help us and who give us HOPE in these challenging times of the dreaded extremely contagious COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

We have scary thoughts of rapid spread with intubated patients and imminent death.

Nations have, then, implemented the ENHANCED COMMUNITY QUARANTINE a.k.a. “LOCKDOWN” (starting March 20, 2020 1 AM in Zamboanga City, Philippines) to “flatten the curve” (www.flattenthecurve.com) meaning we need community isolation measures to help limit the spread  of the novel Coronavirus and reduce load on the hospitals, thus, would be manageable by the medical providers.

Aside from proper hand washing, PHYSICAL DISTANCING (previously known as “SOCIAL DISTANCING”) (en.www.org/wiki/Social_distancing), which is a set of infection control actions intended to stop or slow down the contagious disease, most effective for infections transmitted by droplet spread, is now “strictly” implemented  by the community BUT which is so difficult for us, Filipinos who loves to be around family and friends! 

In fact, the cry of our leaders to STAY AT HOME and to STAY ONE METER APART is so difficult to obey!

PHYSICAL DISTANCING as well as  QUARANTINING can affect a person’s mental  health leading to stress, anxiety, depression or panic (en.www.org/wiki/Social_distancing), thus, we have to help each other see the GOOD in these trying times.

Anyway, although, everyone may be so “faraway”, we are very fortunate that in this digital age, there are so many ways to be connected... and to keep our minds busy! Let us open our minds and our hearts to appreciate the perks that this dismal present brings.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY DEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

STAY SAFE.
BE WELL.
STAY HOPEFUL.
STOP THE SPREAD.

❤️♥️❤️
