A creature in Quarantine

Jul 29, 2020 4 years ago

When I was studying at school, my classmates liked talking about news and one day they talked about unknown virus in China:"Do you know that new virus appeared in China? It was said it came out of the bat".Even I watched about new virus in China on TV, too .After a few days, it was called Coronavirus or Covid-19 and some people asked:"Will this virus come to us?" But most people replied so:"No. Because so far no virus has arrived". And we believed it. But we knew later that we believed in wrong thing. I remembered exactly what day it was. It was 15th of March and at about 5:30 p.m. the phone rang and it was my aunt who heards everything before us although she lives in village. She asked:"Do you know that in Tashkent one woman and her family was ill by Covid-19 and therefore schools will be closed by tomorrow?"We were shocked from closing schools which were never closed by any reason before. Then we wanted it was official or not. Indeed, the quarantine was declared. In that day I was really stupid, because I remembered that when I heard this "good" news, I was very cheerful and even danced too. In those days I couldn't even imagine about situation in today. Who knew that we would stay all day at home and be very bored. At the beginning of April my dad was given a holiday and all of us stayed in three-room flat. But my mum had to work because she is a nurse. At those moments there weren't any taxis and she went from one end of the city to another on foot. And every day she went to work we were anxious about her health, because she worked at the section of the hospital which people with temperature and caugh came. That's why before she went to hospital she said:"God, save my health for my children, please". Indeed, in many countries economy shrank, but my family's economy was saved much. Because half of salary was spent to my brother's and my extra-classes. Due to they were closed spending money decreased, too( even clothes stores were closed). Furthermore, in those days musulmans' Ruza month began and it was blessing of the Creator, I think. Because rich people gave charity to poor people and it was good aid to people to live in. Moreover, in that month most women and girls learnt cooking. Because musulmans eat meal twice a day and they try to decorate the table as beautiful as possible. When I attempted to help, I learnt how to cook very much. But those 2 or 3 kinds of meals mde me fatter. I think many people gained a lot of weight in quarantine. And in those days I hadn't any problems without obesity and boredom. However, I knew that they were smaller than problems in today. But it is a life. Life is full of trials. For example, I tell you one trial which fell on our heads in quarantine. My mum went to work to the hospital which people with Covid-19 were in. Then I knew how difficult to be responsible for family's food and clothing. The most difficult one is missing mother. In my opinion, it is natural that missing mother, missing friends, missing previous life hurt every person. For instance, it is 5th month which we didn't go to school. Although we studied online, interesting conversations, discussions, jokes, friend became things in the past. In scients' opinion it will continue November-December. If so, I think we won't go to school this year,too. I wish all students patience from now on. These difficulties are God's will. Nobody can be against it. As there are 2 sides of coin, there are good and bad sides of every thing, too. Inspite of this virus brought many damages to people, it reminded people hygiene. Almost every person has forgotten it. But nowadays all people got used to it. For example, now we greet every person who come to our home with antiseptics. It sometimes reminds us history. Because our ancestors greeted poeple with water and towel. And even my 3 year-old sisters say:"Where is my mask?" and before entering home she say:"Wash may hands". Secondly, it reduced air pollution. You know, before many people used cars, but nowadays you don't see a lot of cars at streets. In addition, sitting at home is causing cleaning of some rivers and seas. Most people ask:"How do you think that ehat changes occur in our life after quarantine?" I believe that after this hard time, many good changes happen. Because in my country there is a proverb:" 15 day of month are dark and 15 are bright". So I think after bad time good time come. Eventually, fairytales always with goodness.
