#StayAtHome

The time that has just come is very difficult for all of us. The crisis caused by the coronavirus is rapidly spreading across Europe and even further. Every day, they provide us with flow of information about new cases of the disease and we are constantly following the increasing numbers in the media. 

We expect a large-scale economic crisis, queues for grocery stores are as long as our families were preparing for war, cities are empty, dead, restaurants, shopping centers, schools, universities, cinemas, theaters, museums - everything is closed. We are aware that we are confronting a real tragedy. We are scared. We worry about the health and life of our loved ones. We persist in quarantine with hope and apprehension.

But above all there are a lot of good people who want to help the others. They do shopping for older neighbors, sew masks to hospitals, cook dinner for doctors. Students of Medicine volunteer to help in hospitals. Cultural institutions broadcast their concerts and performances, museums make their collections available on websites. The Italians go out onto the balconies and sing together. The Polish abroad invite to their homes compatriots who are stuck in a foreign country and cannot return to Poland due to closed borders. People call their families and friends, ask them about health. 

Perhaps in the face of tragedy everything becomes more human...?
