Finding Ways During A Pandemic

Are you familiar with the saying “desperate times call for desperate measures?” it is indeed true when we experienced the onset of coronavirus during the first months of this year. We are stuck in a situation that no one ever expected to happen. An outbreak somehow stopped the world from turning, and suddenly we are all left in a nightmare that we are still trying to figure out how to solve. It’s scary and we don’t know

when exactly it will end.

But of course as human as we are, we had to come up with ways on how to adapt to this situation. As Filipinos, we became more resourceful and found ways to survive the pandemic day by day. We learned how to do things at home and buy the things we need online instead of going out because we hope that by doing so we will flatten the curve.

Some of the most notable innovations that we can note are listed below. These are proof that human instinct really rules when times are hard. We automatically come up with ways for survival when we are pushed to our limits.

• Virtual holidays on the Animal Crossing game. Some don’t know this game but to some, this helped them stay sane during the pandemic. Although it might not be that amazing, celebrating virtual holidays through a game is very helpful to make us feel that there are still better days we can look forward to. It helped most of us feel that despite social distancing measures, we can still be together with our loved ones.

• Socially distanced restaurant tables. Although we are used to having conversations with our loved ones during meal times, we had to adjust for our safety’s sake. It may look funny and as if you are taking an exam, but restaurants still had to find a way to operate at 30% capacity. So with socially distanced restaurant tables, this was made possible. Burger King even found a way to make it fun by using funky hats to make sure that there is a safe distance between customers.

• Meal Kits - although this one is not exactly Covid invention, affordable meal kits in Davao thrived during the pandemic. With their rise to fame, we are able to reinvent our restaurant experiences by staying home and buying meal kits. We also had to use our creativity to improvise them and they easily became our favorite bonding activity with the family. Davao meal kits prove that people can adjust and learn to live with the new normal policies.
