We are living in a world that has become unfamiliar to most of us. Just last year we were all moving through our lives at breakneck speeds, but then March came  and life came to a screeching halt. Even though the virus was out before March it didn’t really get taken serious until about March. Thousands of people were getting infected, and hospitals were getting filled up. Funnily enough the biggest problem Hospita;s faced wasn’t a lack of medical resources but rather their “Scarce resource is human” according to Richardo Nuella, of The  New Yorker in his “To Fight the CoronaVirus, You Need An Army” article. What Mr. Nulla meant by this phrase was that his hospital had the extra medical equipment necessary to help the new influx of coronavirus patients. What they didn’t have was the staff, and even if they did have the staff just like doctors nurses are highly specialized. So the nurses are  having to be taught how to deal and handle these patients with this novel pandemic, which slows down the whole process even more. However just like most things the situation at the Texas’s hospitals have gotten much better. As hospitals become better prepared and better trained, the whole process as a whole has become more efficient and life saving.

However things can go right back to how they were and this is all down to you and me. As responsible citizens we all must do our own part to stop ourselves from getting the virus, and the spread of us. This can be done in a number of ways. By maintaining social distancing, only leaving the house when it is absolutely necessary, and  of course by quarantine. In Palestine the people have a particular way of quarantining. They have what’s called “Hotel Corona’ this is a hotel full of  people who already have the virus. They are being held there until they have been cleared of the virus. What’s so pertifucal about this place is that everyone seems to get along, maybe too along when you look at their circumstances. As you may know Palestine, or Jureselum is a war torn country in which muslims, and jews fight tooth and nail in ownership of the country. However in the hotel it’s as if none of the years and years of bitter war and feud between these two sides is present. What I learned from Hotel Corona is that humans can get along even if there are years and years of bloodshed in their history. As an individual, and as a society we can really stand to learn, that fact.
