COVID-19, still a long way to go

I have been deployed to medical COVID for a month already. 

Yesterday I got to know that one of my colleague\"s kids were tested positive. Both her kids are still young, one of them just a few months old, yet, he needs to go through all this hassle. 

She texted me last night, once she got to know that both her kids were tested positive. She was so worried. She told me, she was so worried about her kids. She just hoped that her kids will be fine. She is now in the canopies, COVID zone outside our hospital. And it is raining with storms outside. It should be very cold. I am thinking about the kids and the elderly. I pray that everything goes well with her and her kids. I know that another 4 family members of her were tested positive too.

We know that, India is now in a crisis. Burning of corpses, people gasping for oxygen, patients lying outside the hospital waiting for treatment. How about the healtcare workers. It is not easy for them.

Still a long way to go, before we can finally hear, "COVID-19 is finally gone." We don\"t know when. Looking at the current situation in Sarawak now, there is only a tinge of hope. By now, people should have some insights.
