The coronavirus pandemic is an issue that has brought tears to the eyes of many seeing as thousands of lives have been lost to the disease. The COVID-19 has no vaccine at the moment but people have been told to practise better hygiene and to also self-isolate while practising social distancing.

Despite how much of a bad news the coronavirus is, it has also shown the good side of humanity by bringing people of different races, culture, and backgrounds together, to try and make things better for others.

A number of well-known personalities have caught the virus and some of them have even died from it, which goes to show that every human being is the same when it comes to death.
