The higher-risk attached to this virus has created fear and anguish among people of different races. It has derailed the daily lives and caused immense damage especially the under-privileged and great unwashed. Despite the disruption caused, it can never destroy the spirited fight displayed by individuals and governments across the world. It is a pandemic, declared by The WHO which has caused panic among people. The consternation is mainly due to its devastating effect on human souls. The latest updates on the number of people perished in this pandemic show it all. However, among the dark clouds comes the silver lining which is hope for change, plod but strive for a come-back.
