This global pandemic is really unprecedented.

Unfortunately, this public health crisis had a snowball effect that affected the whole world.

This is really frustrating. This crisis also poses deleteriouseffects
to the economy, public health, and education.

I think there is a global consensus that our way of life has been changed so much.

I agree with that.

As a student, I think there has been a paradigm shift in our education.

I agree. Now that we cannot go out yet, the way we study has been
greatly changed.

Contrary to our traditional education where we study in classrooms, we can now learn from our homes.

I hope that this pandemic ends soon so we can return to our normal lives.
