A report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2020) stated, "Today [28 May] the number of people in the United States who have died from COVID-19 surpassed 100,000". By the end of May, fear and anxiety were rapidly growing and the US was not even the worst hit! Soon, it became clear that even more than the fight against a pandemic the mind itself was involved in several other fights, including but not limited to struggles that were financial, academic, mental, and social. However, as the threat of the pandemic grew so did the courage of the people to resist its conquest, medical workers started volunteering to attend to COVID-19 patients thereby sacrificing their comfort and safety. Also, other people of different skills and occupations offered assistance to the fight, from successful businesses donating financial and technical support, to religious leaders inspiring hope, to the scientists —tasked with finding the cure— who did excellently in encouraging optimism, there was a deliberate collective investment of efforts to comfort the troubled minds.
However, the reality of COVID-19 effects and the economic hardship it caused varies according to locality. For example, in Nigeria where I stay, the isolation and restriction orders issued by the federal government to curb the spread of the disease were first felt by the petty traders and daily wage earners. Even with the promise of severe punishments, hunger still drove many people out of the safety of their homes. Humanity saved the day, as some Nigerians started the mass production of face masks and hand sanitizers to offer their hustling neighbors some sort of protection. Some others started donating funds and food items to families in their locality that were the worst hit by the sit-at-home order; it was obvious that in this war of hope, humanity was taking no prisoners!
