The CoVID-19 like any virus targets that of weak immune system, the elderly and the little ones. Sadly some young people take advantage of this fact and have ignored the repercussions of their actions.
“Today I have a message for young people: you are not invincible. This virus could put you in hospital for weeks – or even kill you,”
– WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
“Even if you don’t get sick, the choices you make about where you go could be the difference between life and death for someone else.”
Ghebreyesus added
Imagine the effect of one billion people in the world stuck indoors, yes, there is a drastic disturbance for the businesses,schools, our lives and the nations activities but environmentally speaking, it is actually good for the Earth.
It’s a breather for our planet. My 1 Billion people, stay indoors and save the earth.
