Everything at a standstill.

Down the lane,
We would be narrating our lockdown days to our children, to our newer generations. Telling them how the tiniest virus got us all caged. Even with plentiful of everything, the greatest of the nations stood vulnerable to the virus, helpless, seeking help, wanting to help, yet everyone locked up to themselves. A little more than a month ago, the world was still normal. Booming with business, the universities running around with their busy schedules, technology freaks breaking their heads over codes, people planning their journeys abroad, daily wage workers struggling hard, thieves stealing, everything was just as it was supposed to be. And then the virus sneaked in.
Just like the air that has no boundaries, no direction, omnipresent, the virus went to and fro, and a wave of COVID-19 cases drenched almost all the countries. In the generation of globalization, the country's borders shut close, the ever-busy roads now with deafening silence and the ever-booming offices at standstill, never imaginable consequences! With the death song that arose in the East, all the other nations froze. It became convinceable that the virus had no mercy, it hit the rich, it swept the poor, it entered the villas, it ruled the slums. While the 21st-century man thought he was unstoppable, best than never before, a generation that could move any boulder, reaching the unreachable, achieving the impossible and doing the unimaginable, now its all a standstill. The medicines won't work. no treatment to the ailment, it's just a natural recovery that could get you better. No political party to blame for the issue, no one to be accused, no culprit for the natural massacre. But just watch it stealthily spread across the borders.
Not far from today, we would be teaching children in schools that wars are not always fought on the battlefield with swords, firing guns or explosives, neither are the wars against countries or within the nations. There are wars, like the one the man-kind is fighting today with doctors on the front-line, cops right behind to make sure everything goes well, the governments making strategies to fight with the unseen and every individual committed to locking themselves in their places with only one slogan everywhere, "Stay home, Stay safe" was all part of the new strategy to win the war.
It's a lot to take in for everyone at the moment that we aren't well equipped for the unforeseen situation that has arisen out of nowhere in a time-period where research and medical field around the world were at their best uncovering what was indecipherable. Humanity fights to come back.
With prayers and faith in God rising, trusting in the help that's already on its way, we hope, "This too shall pass".
