COVID-19 HEALTH WORKERS OUR HEROES ARE TO BE APPRECIATED
This is an unforgettable moment in our history. COVID-19 pandemic have had an impact on our businesses we depend on for daily survivor, the health sector of our love ones. The way we live has changed. It amazes me how a lot of people think that health workers been Doctor or nurses are superhuman. The fact is that they really like their job which is to serve humanity. In the past heroes were the people that fought at the war frontline. Recently, the cup has a turn, our frontline heroes are our health workers. why? This is because our health workers didn’t fight with guns, or muscles or bow and arrow but they fought with commitment. Health workers are the heroes at the heart of humanitarian action. When COVID-19 pandemic broke out, a lot of people were afraid to even go out. Some of them closed their companies, shops and business but these doctors and nurses were out there sacrificing their lives to save people.

Now Everybody Knows
And how is everybody faring with lockdown measures? I'm taking precautions daily about how not to wind up with the virus. COVID-19 is a tricky devil from what I've read. I'm determined to avoid getting it, so I have invested my time in learning about lemongrass tea which is a gentle immune system booster having no side effects. It even tastes like lemon without the citrus chemicals that could give me heartburn. But anyway, lockdown is a measure that has been taken to prevent the infection from spreading. I'm hiding out at home until it is absolutely safe to go out. I have a physical therapy in-person appointment coming up at the end of this month.

Several months ago I started feeling so fatigued that I couldn't get out of bed. Working a 9-5 was my biggest challenge in ways that didn't make sense: I simply couldn't wake up in the morning. In addition to this I started getting strange virus like symptoms, landing myself in the ER where I was sent home with a "general virus" diagnosis and a thousand dollar medical bill.
