It is undeniable that everyone love being in seventh heaven while appreciating life.However this past 3 years it has been very challenging to everyone as a new virus outbreak spread all over the globe.A virus called CoronaVirus and also called Covid-19 after being founded in 2019.It was announced by ICTV that this ‘Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2)’ as its name,considering that the virus is genetically related to the coronavirus responsible for the SARS outbreak of 2003.While they are related,those viruses are different.
​
The virus first identified in Wuhan,China.It is believed that the outbreak originated from Huanan Seafood Market where they sell wildlife exotic animals majority for foods and medicine like bats..Though there are speculations on where,why and how did the virus even existed in the first place and how did it transmit to human.The Chinese government has banned wildlife trade until the epidemic is over.
​
Most Malaysian were taking precaution steps by wearing mask,sanitizing their hand when we were informed about the uproar deadly virus that shook China.But everyone were still able to enjoy their daily life routine and believes that the virus won't be able to spread in Malaysia as everything seems like under control.,Malaysia had it first case of Covid-19 on 25th January 2020 where 3 Chinese nationals whom had been close contact in Singapore.Relatively,everything still seems like under control.It was the calm before the storm.The number of cases detected in Malaysia grew quite slow until in March,2020,a religious event took place in Kuala Lumpur led the cases exponent.On 16th March,556 cases has already being recorded and the Prime Minister of Malaysia announced the Movement Control Order (MCO).
During the MCO was held,social distancing was put in place to reduce the spread of Covid-19.Every household are demanded to stay at home and only one person are allowed to go out and buy essentials for their house.The government also restricted anyone from crossing the border to go to different states.People were panicking and some even started panic buying where they would grab every essential item thats available at the supermarket.This arises another issues because people start stressing out as they demanded more supplies.Some even took advantage of the situation by reselling the essential to people in need with much higher price.It was a whole catastrophe that time.Office worker are notified to work from home,Schools are shut down and online learning are being enforce to every students and teachers.From higher institution to pre-school.It was It definitely was not a walk in the park for everyone trying to adapt to the whole situation.
At the initial stage,most people fright with what's about to happen,some had to lock down all by themselves as they could not cross border to be with their family in another state,some had to face abusive families.Many felt like they were imprisoned in their own space.Students and teachers trying their best to stick around one another to give the support they need in order to not get left behind.It was definitely hard for everyone for the first few weeks.
Despite the fact that it's not easy to create a new routine,in a space where most of the time you would call it as home sweet home and for the most part,it is a place for you to rest.Slowly people start seeping into their whole new routine they created.Some learn how to cook,some took a stepping stone and venture into online business,some bond with their family better and most importantly,some found the best version of themself all in quarantine.While life is not sunshine and rainbows,we learn through the cracks of shattered dreams and hope that we can always create a new goal and life is a timeline of we,people choosing what's best for us.Though not all are glitters but assuredly not all are gloomy.

Covid 19 pandemic has taught us many things like never before .First of all ,I’m going to express my view about this topic .Covid 19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered corona virus.The first incidence was recorded in Wuhan, China, in December 2018 . COVID-19 attacks humans in different ways.The group that easily get affected by this virus is old person and children .People with other diseases are also at high risk for to get this virus.In my opinions , this virus gives negative impact on society which is government will do a pandemic if the number of people who get this virus increases .For example,people need to stay at home and can’t go anywhere .
Futhermore,the other negative impact people can get from covid 19 is some people will lose their jobs or unable to continue their business because of this pandemic .The most worst impact from covid 19 is the number of deaths increased .From what we can see ,people need to take this issue of covid 19 seriously and follow standard operating procedures which means sop, people need to wear a mask and keep a distance of one meter with others.People needs to work together to prevent the spread of covid virus 19 by adhering to the rules.In addiction, it can reduce the number of deaths and can protect themselves from being exposed to this virus .
Next, although this issue has many negative effects on society .There is still have good sides about it which is even you’re in pandemic ,people still can do online business or work from home to survive in this pandemic .Moreover,people can spend time together with their family and can strengthen family relationships .As you guys can see about this topic,not all are glitters, but not all are gloomy .

In this era of globalization, it is often rumoured from the lips of the public about the corona virus or known as covid-19. Coronavirus is a new type of virus that has spread to various parts of the world causing the emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 or also called COVID-19. The outbreak was first detected in mid -December 2019 in the city of Wuhan, Hubei, China. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also determined the COVID-19 pandemic that has hit the whole country since March 11, 2020. Is it a pandemic? A pandemic is an epidemic that strikes in a much larger and unlimited scope. The epidemic threatens a wider area such as the state, within and outside the country or the whole world if the epidemic cannot be curbed. The virus causes respiratory tract infections. It also causes a spectrum of flu-like symptoms to severe pneumonia. The virus is spread through droplets from the nose or mouth when a person infected with Covid-19 coughs or sneezes. Others will get the infection through contact with objects and surrounding surfaces. The virus is out of control and can kill many people in a short time.
Moreover, the spread of the covid-19 epidemic affected the national economy when many business and manufacturing operations were forced to close. The government had to issue a directive to close business, construction, and manufacturing operations to control the spread of the covid-19 virus so that there would be no increase in the number of people infected with the virus. The closure of these operations will certainly affect the income of companies and employers who are struggling to ensure the viability of their businesses to survive and be able to make a living.
Besides that, Covid-19 transmission also has a social impact. All social activities such as weddings, official ceremonies, religious ceremonies and so on cannot be carried out. This measure was taken to ensure that the spread of Covid-19 did not spread through the event. This caused many events had to be cancelled and the planned activities had to be postponed complying with the government's directive to cancel the activities when the Covid-19 epidemic still hit the country.
In addition, the Covid-19 virus that hit the country also affected students seeking knowledge face to face had to be postponed. Face -to -face learning had to be replaced with online learning so that the student learning process could continue. Online learning also influences students to study because they cannot afford to own the device to follow the classes conducted. Online learning also presents difficulties to students and teachers who are first facing this learning.
In conclusion, the community must work together to curb the spread of Covid-19 by complying with SOPs given by the government such as maintaining social prisons, wearing masks when leaving the house, not communicating with each other and so on. To ensure that the spread of this epidemic can be reduced and the country is in a normal state

Covid-19 happened in 2020 where I supposed to end my high school year, I only attend for 3 months in 2020. Other than that, we all got lockdown for long. There is where everyone started get panicked and I also panicked and feels scared, I don’t know what to do, I don’t know when I can end my high school year. Covid-19 give us a lesson that Covied-19 is dangerous for everyone but at the same time it gave us time to spend with our family if life before covid-19 was busy and got no time for family. There’s a lot of activity we all can do while we were in our lockdown session but not everyone can do some stuff. Some people can stand by just sit at home because they are home person, some might go crazy because their life it not at home, their life is go to work.
Covid-19 is tough for me, I hate it there because I couldn’t enjoy my last year as high school student with my friends, I can’t have memories of school’s activities, no memories with friends like how we used to and etc. I got zero memories in covid-19 year because I was stressed out about everything, such as we have to study online, have to stay at home for 24 hours, can’t even go out for jogging and etc. Covid-19 did gave us mental health problem, online distance learning was not easy, not everyone have a laptop, ipad or wifi because their parents might cannot afford all of those stuff. Work from home also was not easy but could be work for some people in this world. Covid-19 also made people lost their job because of the company got no sales and stuff. It gave them a hard life, no money no food. It gave them totally lost everything. Money is very important that time because everyone needs money to buy groceries to feed their family.
I can tell, Covid-19 is such a worst thing ever. They make people go crazy and unstable mental health. Even until now in 2022 total of cases still increase and everyone in this world can feels that something doesn’t feels right. That’s all from me about my view of Covid-19, Thank you.

Since January 2020, the medical response and preparedness to the outbreak in Malaysia are overseen by Director-General of Health Noor Hisham Abdullah under the Health Ministry of three successive governments led by the Mahathir, Muhyiddin and Ismail Sabri cabinets.The first cases in Malaysia were confirmed among travellers from China in Johor via Singapore on 25 January 2020, and continued to be limited to a few imported cases until March 2020, when several local clusters emerged. The most notable was a Tablighi Jamaat religious gathering in Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur that sparked a massive spike in local cases and imported cases to neighbouring countries.[8] By the end of March, the total number of cases had risen from below 30 to over 2,000 active cases across every state and federal territory in the country.
​
This situation had relevant repercussions on daily life of families, especially of children that have been deprived of their socialization and play spaces. The parents suddenly became the only point of reference for their children since the other references and educational figures were no longer available.The stress of quarantine can affect psychological well-being of adults, as confirmed in a recent review , and might also have long-term effects . A study conducted on parents and children quarantined in 2020 during the COVID-19 showed that the high-stressful isolation increased parents’ psychological distress that in turn had an impact on their children’s well-being . Children who have parents with high levels of stress showed more externalizing problems and developed less emotion regulation. If the government is successful in managing the COVID-19 instead of developing a pandemic situation, it can lead to a stable political order in society. Perhaps, the incumbent government could win another term in power as the pandemic situation has provided a great opportunity to compare each country and its skills in the governance of their political regimes.
​
However, Businesses can redistribute budgets and save on their operating costs. Expenses are now viewed in “a more reasonable and business-oriented way,” while still considering the global economic crisis. Office, equipment, and rental fees can now be translated into helping the current financial situation.
