he current crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic is showing the best and the worst of humanity. Do you agree? Will a new form of solidarity emerge at the end of the tunnel or do you think on the contrary that previous trends of the last few years (e.g. increasing nationalism) will be enhanced? Write an essay (at least 350 words) to give your opinions. Use relevant examples and explanations to support your ideas.

Humankind is confronted with an unprecedented calamity caused by the Covid-19

pandemic

, and there are sayings that the onset of

this

novel virus has been resulting in the revelation of some positive and negative aspects of humanity. Personally,

this

statement is justifiable for the reasons elaborated through

this

essay, and I

also

reinforce my argument that a trend of international union would arise throughout the fight against

this

protracted

pandemic

.

To begin

with, some of the worst respects concerning crimes have been uncovered when the virus started to creep into every corner of the world. The very

first

problem

that is

worth mentioning is the significant rise in the figures for fraud, especially with high-demand products

such

as surgical masks and

sanitizer

. To be more specific, the turbulence caused by the casualties during the

pandemic

has pushed people’s need for all types of masks to reach its peak, in which case some evil merchants, private pharmacies and even a few famous pharmaceutical brands seized the opportunities to make these products heavily overpriced. As a consequence, not all people can afford the masks and

sanitizers

Suggestion

Sanitizers

and deaths among the impoverished ones who live in unhygienic conditions have been recorded across the globe, especially among the

under-developed

relating to societies in which capital needed to industrialize is in short supply

underdeveloped

countries.

Furthermore

, there were even situations that people collected

used

Suggestion

is used

masks from the streets and hospitals and turned them into seemingly new ones to do business, which

therefore

has contributed to the rise in the number of virus-infected victims.

However

, humanity still shows its best when it comes to the connection between individuals amidst the Covid-19

pandemic

. The most typical activities must be the philanthropic ones

such

as giving scholarships or charitable donations for the needy.

As a result

of the damage afflicted by the virus,

lives

Suggestion

the lives

of thousands of laid-off workers have been under acute destitute, depriving them and their family of all the essentials for a healthy and happy life, especially the youngsters who cannot go to school. Fortunately,

however

, volunteers all around the world have been doing great providing

such

people things that could enable them to maintain a more stable life while facing

this

dire strait. To illustrate, Bill Gates is a great example as he has donated up to $150 million to distribute millions of vaccine doses priced at just under $3 to nations struggling with the accelerating

pandemic

, or other billionaires who have been presenting students with valuable scholarships to ensure their study. Not only those of means volunteered, but average people still united in organizing campaigns which distribute clothes, medicines and food for those suffering from famine or illnesses. From my perspective, a sense of international solidarity would be increasingly reinforced in order to effectively cope with the current situation as a

country itself

country it

is not enough to win the battle against the coronavirus. As long as the virus still exists in any country, the chances are that it can re-enter those that have managed to slow it down or even eradicate it as there may be contaminated travellers from abroad or citizens returning home.

This

could be elaborated by the fact that the timing of enacting measures varied between countries. As a case in point,

although

China managed to halt the virus' advance, it

has

then immediately suffered

immediately suffered from a

second

wave of contamination, which was attributable to the arrival of travellers and Chinese citizens from other virus-hit countries.

Accordingly

, I believe that all countries undergoing the

pandemic

, whether severe or not, would gradually work together to agree on a global and synchronized lockdown as

this

would be

most efficient

Suggestion

more efficient

in curbing the spread of the virus. In conclusion, I totally agree that in times of austerity caused by the Covid-19

pandemic

, some of the best and the worst aspects of human beings have been revealed and it is recommended that stricter measures should be imposed by the authorities to alleviate the worst and at the same time, promote the best. It

also

seems to me that a form of solidarity would be formed among all countries while fighting against the virus.
