MY COUNTRY AT BIOLOGICAL WAR: THE ENEMY!

Huuuuuuuu……….., our biggest biological enemy is coronavirus, tormenting our lives, making us uncomfortable, restricting our physical socialisation, preventing us from going to church/mosque to worship, even leading to partial or total lockdown in most affected countries. This tells us how strong this biological enemy is! Please, to all people out there, you only live once (YOLO). We are never in normal time. We must be worried but not to be in fear and panic. Life can never be the same in this difficult time, we must all compromise to contain the disease. Please, let stay home if it is not so important to go out. The enemy is real, waiting for you outside to attack you. God help those who help themselves. Please, we can do this, let do this together to protect ourselves, our loved ones and the whole community. Community spread is very dangerous in an outbreak. Together we can contain and fight this enemy. The security services, the health care providers, and others including you are all fighting this enemy. The enemy is not you neither the security service providers but coronavirus.

This common enemy has no legs to move to attack human beings but does so through us (human beings ). When we move, the virus moves, when we stop moving, the virus stops moving as once said by Hon. Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Minster for Education, Ghana. This has made various heads of states to take very very difficult actions to stop this big common enemy.

The President of Ghana, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo on Friday, 27th of March, 2020 in his updating speech on Covid19, said “ We know how to bring the economy back to life. What we do not know is how to bring people back to life”. So whatever the various heads of state are doing is not punishment but for our own good, for own protection, for our own survival. Please, let do our best to adhere to that.

Call 112 if you experience fever, cough and difficulty in breathing for medical attention. Please, all philanthropists doing humanitarian activities like sharing foods, water and sanitary items to the poor and needy is a good thing but maintain social distance at least lm (arm stretched) among all the beneficiaries as well as yourself because we need all alive to fight and defeat this big enemy called Coronavirus

Look at how the first world countries, with all the good national health systems are struggling to fight this common enemy, then we the third world countries like Ghana? Please, you need to survive, we need to survive and the community needs to survive, it is important to stay home, and follow the precautionary measures like frequent hand washing with soap under running water, use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer, coughing into tissue and discard immediately into bin and wash hands, take more fruits and vegetables, avoid touching your ears, eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

Aooooooh, my country, your country, our country weeping, with piercing heart, deep deep down when this enemy came to visit the world on 31st of December, 2019. The world economy has been crippled, Public Health across the globe is threatened, Physical socialisation has become thing of the past, leading to unbearable psychological trauma due to this enemy. This enemy does not have respecter of who you are, whether rich or poor, African or European, high social status or low social status, it attacks everyone.

Coronavirus! Since you came to the world, you have affected 206 countries, infecting 857,641 people, and killing 42,006 people globally as at 2nd of April, 2020, 11:03GMT.
