I was and have become completely unbalanced. I was in the middle of my MSc project when the very first lockdown started. The pandemic showed me how vulnerable our societal structure is. The positive is that my passion and appreciation for science has exponentially increased and I am just grateful for every day.]]> 2021-09-07 21:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1723012457 https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1724398097 Hello everyone. I am Rahmotallah (or simply Rahmah) from Lagos, Nigeria. 

COVID-19 has affected different aspects of our lives. Apart from its impact on our health sector, it has affected our economy, our social life and most notably our education system. Nose mask has become the new normal that we do not get to recognize those we have not met for a long time while they are on the mask. Vaccination is ongoing in different parts of the country. We rarely have severe cases of the disease here. Most people recover from the infection after isolating (self-isolation or hospitalization) and being on medications. 

I finished from pharmacy school since 2019 but could not be inducted into the profession until late 2020 because of the pandemic. I had a personal experience because I tested positive during my internship in the hospital early 2021. I had bitter taste, nasal congestion and fever. The symptoms were like those of malaria. My consultant insisted I took the test and it turned out positive. I self-isolated, took medications that were given to me, consumed a lot of fluids and fruits, rested a lot and also did steam inhalation. I tested negative two weeks after. It was more of the psychological effect for me than any other thing. I am completely fine now and I have been vaccinated as well, awaiting my second dose in about two weeks time.]]> 2021-09-08 09:35:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1724398097 https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1724641677 I have had a devastating experience with covid-19. I have a family of four members and three of my family members have suffered from this deadly pandemic severely. The most disturbing bit is the cost of treatment for someone with severe disease. we had to spend every penny to save lives of the dear ones.]]> 2021-09-08 12:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1724641677 eimunanura https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1725923310 My name is Edson Ireeta Munanura. Covid-19 came with lockdowns (2 so far)and being an academician, the closing of Universities gave me hard time adjusting to being less busy]]> 2021-09-08 19:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1725923310 https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1726073016 The dreaded Covid-19 pandemic has been quite a challenge to the economy, health sector and every other aspect of our social life. However, the morbidity and mortality occasioned by the pandemic is significantly reduce as compared to other western countries. The knowledge, attitude and acceptance of the vaccine is relatively poor.]]> 2021-09-08 21:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1726073016 ebiaugabriellah https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1726131769 2021-09-08 21:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1726131769 https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1726934045 We are currently on UK's red list despite  having made significant progress getting out of the second wave - sad! A national curfew and part lockdown are still in effect. Immunisation rates are still low but public uptake has appreciably improved. Schools are still closed and so are places of entertainment such as bars. Hopefully, the third wave will be kept at bay with these interventions.

On one hand, I used the two lockdown (travel restrictions) imposed in Uganda to catch up on my PhD proposal and other aspects of personal life. In a bid to 'remain sane', I also ended up writing a book about the subconcious mind (Publishing soon!).
However, besides losing someone I know to COVID, timelines at work suffered and my children lost valuable school time. Adapting to the new learning schedule for children has not been easy because it needs continuous supervision which is not easy with the work schedule.
Also, I have been robbed of travel opportunities, one of my great hobbies.]]> 2021-09-09 06:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1727189641 https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1727502740 I was working in kuwait university as a senior research assistant. The covid pandemic year was a tough year regarding the work load and the family commitments. Also, i was seeking for joining Ph.D program in Germany but due to covid 19 travel restrictions, it was cancelled. However, i have learned a lot and experienced a lot during this crisis. Moreover i could transfer my life with my family to my dreamland, istanbul. ]]> 2021-09-09 08:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1727502740 https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1727854320 Between May and June, COVID-19 cases spiked in the country due to the Delta variant. The Ministry of Health in collaboration with the National Public Health Institute of Liberia mounted a robust response and currently, our cases are under control. Preventive public health measures are in place to prevent the spread of the infection. As an individual, the outbreak generally affects my day-to-day activities, especially my social life. As a medical personnel, it made to be more vigilant and practice IPC measures more consistently. ]]> 2021-09-09 12:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1727854320 https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1730671999 2021-09-10 11:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1730671999 https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1730684287 Covid -19 has affected many families in Tanzania especially the third wave.We have experinced more than three funerals in one week through on going condolences contributions in many WhatsApp groups.

During the second lockdown, everyone at home contracted covid-19 but with God's grace, we survived.
I missed out on some scholarships due to lockdown ... which was challenging for me.]]> 2021-09-15 13:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1742648581 https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1747810384 Working in a hospital setting as a Pharmacist require extra carefulness especially when counseling patients, I'm always on my surgical face mask and whenever I go home on public transportation. Unfortunately, only a few complies with the social-distancing covid-19 policy. Although the hospital I work in made it mandatory, a patient wouldn't see the medical practitioner without a mask. The use of hand sanitizers is encouraged. These measures are helpful in curbing the spread of the deadly virus.]]> 2021-09-17 04:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1747810384 https://padlet.com/rkikonyogo/j47yu08j31n0itmm/wish/1807263353 COVID-19 has exposed me to more indoors life experiences. I am naturally an out door girl. but indoors are not so bad if you learn. I have accrued more knowledge since the pandemic struct than i had in the past. I had to unlearn what i thought was normal and relearn, I am now so used to this that its the new normal. I have also learned to be self sufficient due to the pandemic.
