Corona virus on letter writing topic

Answer:
Hello mate..
Explanation:
Seventeen years ago, my parents and I lived through the SARS outbreak in Beijing.
I don’t remember much, but my parents do. My mother never likes watching the news - yet she knows I am always following the updates in global affairs. The moment I arrive at home for Lunar New Year, she tells me how she has checked all the stores near us and they have all sold out of surgical masks due to the outbreak in China.
At that time, there were no confirmed cases in Canada. I tell her not to worry too much. She makes us wash our hands and sanitize our phone screens every single time we step out of the house. We just wanted to be cautious and stay safe.
A week later, I have now realized that the coronavirus isn’t the scariest threat to us — it is the racism and xenophobia that is an unfortunate byproduct of this virus . Everyday, I see the constant comments dismissing coronavirus as a non-concern: “more people die from the flu,” “it’s not a threat,” and “the media needs to stop creating panic and paranoia.” I urge everyone to double-check information sources, to seek the truth and continue to take appropriate precautions without creating mass hysteria.
With the new announcement of a Wuhanese student at Western confirmed to have the coronavirus, the first reaction is fear.
Many of my friends (who have chosen to wear surgical masks to protect themselves) have told stories of being judged, how the students in our very own university would not sit next to them in class. How the vigorous, racist memes and reporting online has scared them. How their own housemate refused to stay in the same house as them since they think she has the virus.
During this time of uncertainty where paranoia is a natural reaction, we should approach one another with kindness and understanding.
Let’s continue to gather the correct information while taking the necessary precautions without falling into the trap of mass panic. Let’s continue to look out for one another and treat our fellow peers with respect and kindness.

The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is the defining global health crisis of our time and the greatest challenge we have faced since World War Two. Since its emergence in Asia late last year, the virus has spread to every continent except Antarctica.
We have now reached the tragic milestone of one million deaths, and the human family is suffering under an almost intolerable burden of loss.
“The climbing death toll is staggering, and we must work together to slow the spread of this virus.” - UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner.
But the pandemic is much more than a health crisis, it's also an unprecedent socio-economic crisis. Stressing every one of the countries it touches, it has the potential to create devastating social, economic and political effects that will leave deep and longstanding scars. UNDP is the technical lead in the UN’s socio-economic recovery, alongside the health response, led by WHO, and the Global Humanitarian Response Plan, and working under the leadership of the UN Resident Coordinators.Every day, people are losing jobs and income, with no way of knowing when normality will return. Small island nations, heavily dependent on tourism, have empty hotels and deserted beaches. The International Labour Organization estimates that 400 million jobs could be lost.
The World Bank projects a US$110 billion decline in remittances this year, which could mean 800 million people will not be able to meet their basic needs.
