Most of the people are very worried and have fears from death after they feel it is very close to them. Some are very stressful because of the quarantine, such as they can not travel wherever they want, they have no airports, prices are high, staying at home and living in panic and they have to buy food and a lot of things for two weeks and more. But in some countries, this is normal. Let us take Libya for example. Our airport has been burned in 2014 and Libya has been banned from the FAA and no international planes are flying over it. We have only 4 direct destinations from Tripoli and Benghazi.

Since 2011 we went through 3 wars and a civil one is running now. Oil, electricity and even water are always cutting off. The percentage of death from random lead can be more than 60%: the Internet is limited and very slow.

This is not just a complaint, but this is to motivate people who have a better environment to face what they’re going through and make treatment, and to remind them they are strong. This is how they should face COVID-19 now.
