The COVID-19 coronavirus has been around for about five months now, and we’re slowly trying to co-exist with this virus while still taking all necessary precautions. The fall semester starts in three weeks or so and it looks to be online like the spring semester.

However, some people actually think that the COVID-19 danger is gone. The other day, a girl in her late teenage years pointed at me and told her friend, “why is he wearing a mask?” Another incident happened with my brother in the supermarket, the cashier at the counter asked him, “why are you still wearing a mask, I almost forgot that corona exists”.

These are just two examples of what is happening in the country, many people badly influence other people, and these in turn people influence others, and so on. But make no mistake – COVID-19 still exists. However, I also believe that we’re almost done with this infectious coronavirus and therefore there is hope.

This video (حنرجع – We’ll Return) to give people hope that we will go back to normal very soon, we just have to wait and take precautions a little bit longer.
