I developed the habit of living with Corona

Global coronavirus outbreaks, rising mortality rates, downturns, the loss of relatives, domestic violence in domestic life, you, my mental health risks, the prospect of a new vaccine, the deteriorating economic situation in all countries হলো these are the main topics of discussion in recent months. But as frustrating as it may sound, as a teacher of environmental health sciences, I have to say that the virus is not going to go away easily.

But will a small non-living micro-organism of the protein type stop our life? Certainly not. The human race will turn around again in the same way that it has turned around in the face of various viruses over the ages. There is no other species that has so much wisdom as mankind. We can But the question is when, how? Life or livelihood? Which one first?


Of course, livelihood is created for the needs of life. Life is not a necessity. However, if this situation continues year after year, the survival of the people who have lost their livelihood will undoubtedly become difficult. Now it would be wiser for us to accept this unfortunate situation. A very nice term is being used in English, ‘Living with New Normal’. In other words, adaptation to a changed life.

How will our new normal life? How should it be? In this case, we have to be tactful, we have to plan precisely. Even if it is in a very short term, it is better to plan for at least two years.
First: Personal safety must be ensured. During this time of coronation we had a lot of experience on how to wear masks, how to use hand gloves, how long to wash hands, how to disinfect fruits, vegetables, how to clean shoes, etc. Even now we know how long the germ will survive on any surface and how far it will travel in the air! So by applying the knowledge gained from this experience, we can ensure our personal safety, whether it is for the sake of livelihood or for the sake of life, we have to get out of the house. Keep as much distance as possible.

Second, keep in mind that the kind of job market that existed just two months ago may not have all the jobs. So prepare yourself to adapt to the digital world. Most of the work will now be online. The big technological companies have already started thinking about it. Since the virus can live on your mobile phone for a long time, the famous phone manufacturer Apple is trying to invent something new instead of their phone security system 'Face ID'. Because if you are a carrier of the virus, then the virus is likely to spread when you open the phone with the phone close to the mouth. Again, social media platforms like Facebook have now entered the marketing competition by creating apps for holding official meetings online.

Ordinary people like us should not sit. Take the initiative from the position you are in. For example, if you are a conscious mother, change your previous plans for your child. Want to coach your son in specialized high school? Apply online. Want to send your daughter away to a better school or college? Arrange for her to stay somewhere nearby so that she does not get sick while traveling every day. Want to ask your special child's Home Health Aid to come back to work? Ask him to come after PPE, let the company know your needs. Do you want to visit your relatives? Ask them to come after the mask in a park, by the lake, by the sea or in an open space. If there is space in the backyard of the house to get a chair a little far away, put the people you love. Want to exchange food with neighbor Bhabi? As before, you used to send the potato chop fried in oil, now send it without frying, ask them to fry it. If someone gives you food, eat it only after a few hours without heating it immediately.

We are 'Bengali fish in rice', that's right. Eat fish or eat meat, reduce the amount of rice, increase the amount of fish-meat, vegetables. Build immunity to diseases, viruses in the body. Prepare yourself to deal with corona during lockdown. Don't panic. Keep up the good work. It is good to be anxious, but instability is not desirable under any circumstances. Be careful when using public transport. Keep disinfect wipes in your pocket at all times. Avoid closed places as much as possible. Use the stairs instead of the elevator. And if you have to get on the elevator, get up only after waiting for a while and getting a little empty. It is better if you can spray disinfect.

Reduce unnecessary travel. Will you go to visit your parents in the country? Can you guarantee that you are not carrying the virus? Whether it's dancing on Thirty First Night or singing on Poyala Boishakh, it's all virtual. Order food without going to a restaurant or buy it and eat it at home. Go to the grocery store and see if the stick is young. Think of saving the lives of others. Not a few years or played young gourd. Save your own life and help others to survive.

This situation is as temporary as it is uncertain. The feeling of not being able to concentrate on anything, the feeling of not feeling good is also very normal. Don't waste this time, we do
