Contest : How has the second Uganda total lockdown affected my life?

Hello everyone hope you are all doing great and hope the quarantine is not taking you bad
Am very grateful for this opportunity to participate in this contest and great thanks go to @yohan2on
for having brought such a brilliant contest to the uganda platform
I personally am going to take you through how the second lockdown has affected my life
This current lockdown has affected my life both positively and negatively but I will start with the positive part of it because in anything you do always be positive even when you experience negative parts always first stay positive

• How has the current Nation's total lockdown
  affected my life
  The current nations total lockdown has affected my life both positively and negatively but I will begin with the positive part of the lockdown

• POSITIVE EFFECTS OF THE LOCKDOWN

First and foremost I thank God that am still alive and still safe from the Covid 19 virus

I have much time to concentrate on the steemit platform because ever since the lockdown I have been able to complete my achievements in the newcomers community and I have a lot of time to think and write quality content in various communities on steemit

This lockdown has also enabled me learn a lot about steemit because I joined while I was still at school and didn’t have a lot of time to understand steemit and it’s various futures but due to the lock down I have learnt most of the things concerning steemit.com forexample I learnt how to buy and sell steem , how to power up , the steemworld.org and many others just a few mentioned

The lockdown has also helped me spend most time with my family members because in most cases when am home for holidays my siblings are always at school so I used not to get time to chat with them but because of the lockdown we are all home and we have enough time to be together and even interact more with my family

The lockdown has taught me to be creative and innovative instead of being ideal therefore during the lockdown I have learnt how to crochet 🧶

The lockdown has also improved on my sleep hygiene forexample having enough sleep helps in boosting our immunity . But while at school I used not to have enough sleep because I could sleep late reading my books and wake up very early in the morning to go in for my lectures at campus but due to the lockdown I have enough sleep because I don’t have any physical lectures

The lockdown has also enabled me to focus on my health because back then I used not to take ginger but due to COVID-19 am now forced to take the ginger because I want to boost my health

The lockdown has also enabled me to improve on my hygiene because before the lockdown I had even never sanitized or washed my hands frequently but due to the lockdown my hygiene has improved because I wash my hands on a daily basis and also sanitize my hands on a daily basis

The lockdown has also taught me that it’s possible for someone to keep him or herself in the house for even a year with out moving to town or visiting friends

On the other hand the second lockdown down has affected my life in a negative way

• NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THE LOCKDOWN

The lockdown has affected my life negatively forexample via my academics I could be finishing my degree in December this year but because of the lockdown I can not finish my studies this year am even not sure when I will be done with my studies

This lockdown has affected my life because I have lost many relatives in this period who have died due to Covid-19 and it really hurts to loose someone you have been spending your entire life with and from no where you are informed that the person died due to coronavirus

Online studies for-example during the lockdown the principal of our college introduced online studying and most of us were not even familiar with the online studying so it becomes hard to study online and it’s more costly because you have to buy data to access the online lessons and sometimes you even don’t understand what they teach online to to various problems for-example it may be the poor network or even various noise from different backgrounds of the students studying online

The lockdown has also affected me in away that I have to move a long distance to go to the market so that I can buy food and other basic needs so by the time you walk to town and move back home you become too tired and lazy to do other house shores

The lockdown has affected me in away that I can’t even visit my friends and check on them and how they are doing because most of them stay far so I have to use a motorcycle to reach them but transportation of people from one place to another was banned by the president of Uganda in order to reduce on the increasing numbers of Covid-19 patients

The lockdown has also affected me in away that I can’t go to church and praise and worship God I have to do that while at home which is not bad because God can answer your prayers from anywhere but it just feels good to always pray to God while in church

I conclude by saying with God all things are possible and I know we shall over come this virus
Thank you yohan2on for this opportunity God bless you
