Making the best of the lockdown break

Effect of COVID-19

What started as a local disease in Wuhan, China in November 2019 finally paralyzed the whole world of 7 billion people. After celebrating New Year 1st January 2020, the world had no idea that it was ushering in a year with lots of darkness. 2020 is a year that will be remembered in history as a year that changed the way people lived their lives, people conducted businesses. There has been no day when people were LOCKED-UP in their homes for 3 months. And a new word was developed: LOCKDOWN. A lockdown means people of a given country and the businesses in that country: CLOSE UP. As I write this, we are still in the middle of it and everyone has no idea what next as everything is still closed. Some countries have started easing the lockdown but businesses are still closed up. In Uganda ( like most countries), there is a curfew that starts at 7:00 pm and ends at 6:30 am. and what that means is that you must do everything between 6:30 is - 7:00 pm. COVID-19 has changed things whereby people will never live a former-normal life. We need to start living the NEW NORMAL which everybody has no idea how to live. What is so important right now is embracing the world of technology. You are either in or in.
