*Global pandemic*
When it first hit the news, it was just like any other influenza outbreaks.
The world doesn't seem to be in much of a concern, until things took a hit and the numbers started increasing rapidly within hours, days, weeks.
The next thing you know, almost the whole world goes under lock-down.
It has been said that this is worse than SARS epidemic which occurred 17 years back.
This pandemic has definitely hit the aviation industry hard.
I mean, it did it's job by hitting the whole world's economy bad, everybody is feeling the punch, not pinch.
Heck,
Covid -19 - 1, Homo-sapiens - 0.

Reported cases as of date : 645,606
How this has affected those of us that are flying?
Almost all the flights are cancelled, restrictions into entering/leaving/re-entering any countries,
nil flights = nil allowances (which us, the cabin crew heavily relies on), scratching heads on tonnes of bills to pay, don't even get me started on those with families, how troubled their minds are right now.
Families of those that are worried sick, or we ourselves, worries too as we might not know what's gonna happen next. How paranoia struck while on duty, off duty too.
And, boredom for those that are stuck at home, which happens to be our current fate for past 2-3weeks, and by the looks of it, we might be stuck in this current situation for couple of more weeks, possibly months.
Explains all the tiktok vids, challenges and whatnot that's been circling around on social media.
In a way, it is somewhat true that mother earth is taking a break from human beings.
We too, are taking a break from whatever that's been happening around us. Especially in a country with such fast pace.
With all the global chaos occurring, one thing hasn't changed much though, the mind.
How I wish the mind can take a breather too. For once.
