Lockdown the world over, the lessons we have learned from them.

As Mothers we teach our children hygiene. It is something we pass on to them. This past couple of months, the world learnt the same uniform hygiene etiquette rules. All to keep us all safe and to protect people against the virus,  which has invaded every aspect of our lives. While we await a cure or vaccine, we cannot continue to live in a bubble.

How to wash our hands.

Wear masks.

Keeping social distancing from our fellow human beings. 

How to wait in line.

The correct way to cough.

Our New normal has changed and we can now all move forward.  Permanent lockdown is not the answer.  We are now equipped with the tools to move forward, live our lives.

Governments needs to trust their citizens and realize that as adults,  we need the space to move forward,  both personally and professionally.  Allowing fear to cripple and destroy livelihoods, is not the answer.  Scientists are working hard to find a solution for the virus, in the interm we have to take precautions and carry on with our daily lives.  

Allowing citizens who was caught by the lockdowns across the globe everywhere in the world to travel again (not just on repatriation flights which many cannot afford, as they already hold vouchers for travel and cannot afford new tickets on those repatriation flights).  Many foreign nationals have lost their jobs, because they cannot get back home.  Borders need to be opened,  air travel resume, it is very important for everyone concerned.  International travel as we know it,  will become obsolete otherwise, setting the world back decades.

The time has arrived to restart the global economy and get everyone back to work, whilst applying the lessons we have been taught by this virus. The new normal, is different,  no doubt about it. We all have to practice and live by the new rules, no matter where you live or what you do. This is how we all contribute our little bit to keep each and  everyone safe. We are all in this together. 

We feel for each and everyone who has lost loved ones, they paid the ultimate price.  

Scientists across borders are working hard to find a solution for all of us, so that no-one need to lose another person they love to this virus, Covid-19. 

Happy Mother's Day!
