by Kay Lee

At present, everyone forgot about political and other problems, because unfortunately, all the latest news is about the novel coronavirus and the spreading pandemic. In many countries, people have to self-quarantine and are urged to stay at home and not go outside. All entertainment facilities and shopping malls are closed, together with all educational institutions.

Having to stay at home all the time can make some people depressed and devastated, and reading bad news about the coronavirus outbreak as well as fears related to it can make people worried, which results in the occurrence of other diseases.

As we wrote earlier, Snapchat is trying to ease the panic by introducing a new “Here For You” tool that can help people cope with their emotions regarding everything that is happening in the world in terms of global issues like the coronavirus outbreak.

Not all news has to be bad, though. There’s already some good news about coronavirus, so let’s look on the bright side.
