Regaining some sense of order amid the chaos of the Covid-19 pandemic


The Covid-19 pandemic has created a sense of uncertainty and lost control. But we can regain some sense of order amid the chaos by working with the reality we have rather than wishing for it to be something it’s not.

Over the past few weeks of August, I’ve heard of people having increasing feelings of helplessness and being stuck as Malaysia continues to get to grips with the Covid-19 pandemic.

Many people I’ve spoken to recently have said they feel fatigued and overwhelmed by the situation we’re facing. Frequently keeping an eye on the news and checking social media adds to the heaviness as we’re confronted with stark realities and confrontational opinions.
