Health is Wealth: How Global Pandemic Has Changed Our Attitudes

The COVID-19 widespread postures a once-in-a-generation risk. In spite of the fact that usually not the primary infection flare-up to spread around the globe, it is the primary one that governments have so furiously combated. Moderation efforts—including lockdowns and travel bans—have endeavored to moderate the rate of diseases to moderate accessible therapeutic resources. An undeniable statement is “Health is wealth” that is explained in this essay about the consequences of COVID-19 pandemic. Our health is one of the things we can’t buy but we can take steps to improve and protect it. 

“Health is Wealth, it' is a celebrated saying that alludes to the significance of wellbeing to us and uncovers that wellbeing is riches. Well, why only physical health is given more preference than mental, maybe humans are living as social birds in chaos. The effects of COVID-19 are not easy to paint and cover-up. Many unknown terms and habits became our new normal and daily routine, awareness is skyrocketed about alcohol-based anti-microbial sanitizers, contact tracing, curfew, fomites, herd immunity, etc.. Working and studying from home sounded so bad for the first time because of mental health, we have seen various weird behavioral changes, suicides due to this depression.

Few months into 2020 and people said “Can we uninstall 2020', It’s easy to lose your hopes and brood over the negative side effects of any event, especially when as a community we’re battling a global pandemic. Never neglect the other side of a coin, we have the positive impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic that we must look forward to. The few best things that I truly anticipate are, it helped us to build genuine relationships, entire lifestyle changes to practice better hygiene because being hygienic is no longer just a good habit, but the very skill you need for survival, working remotely turning mainstream, education becomes digitized & affordable and mainly the sky is blue again, pollution levels are down, river water is fresh.

The great recession and depression in depth are the major negative effects of this pandemic, what we don’t know yet is whether we’ll be able to bounce back quickly or whether it will linger on for a decade or more. The greater extent that we can keep workers attached to their firms and keep the firms afloat, the more likely it is it will bounce back quickly, aggressive investment and well-designed policy could bring the economy back more quickly and with less long-term distress for workers and businesses but the physical, mental health care in our own hands, it’s not something that someone gives us like a financial opportunity, wish humans learn and habituate the eco-friendly habits, healthy nerves, and emotional balance to prove them as Humans. 

Covid 19 taught us that no nation is great and powerful against the forces that they could not see face to face, with every developing step that the mankind take makes a great deal of damage to our environment, we are put here to take good care of nature not to interfere with it and most importantly: health is wealth.
