Even though the pandemic started off rough, things gradually got better. To be honest I thought that the pandemic was going to last longer. To this day 2.32 million people have gotten sick from this tragic event. Now there are vaccines and treatments in place for the virus symptoms. Everything right now is starting to get back to normal. People are roaming the street again. Business and schools are opening back up. We still have to wear masks but the world is starting to look like its old self. Although things were getting better, bad things started to evolve. Asians are getting blamed for the spread of the virus. They are being harassed and attacked because rumors spread that it’s true. There are more than “9000” incidents that have been reported of people being “Anti-Asian.” Since the coronavirus was first started in China, families of Asian and Pacific Islander descent have been treated as “scapegoats” just because of their race. Things were starting to get so bad that there were starting campaigns, bystander training sessions, and public rallies. Even the president got involved. President Joe Biden signed the bipartisan COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act. Incidents like this, including the pandemic, are what really bring people together. Families that haven’t spoken to each other, have now got the urge to speak. There are multiple lessons that have been learned in this pandemic. One thing that I learned is that we all depend on each other. We’re all in this together, whether we like it or not, and our success or failure is dependent on everyone doing their part. I hope we never forget how much we rely on supermarket cashiers, truck drivers, manufacturing workers, public-sector workers, teachers, and one another. We all suffer if one component of the system fails. It is critical that we all work together for the greater good. Also to do what you want to do now. You never know how long you will have to do what you want. If you want to do something don’t wait.
