Editorial

 The world is at a standstill.

With the coronavirus outbreak affecting countries and people all around the world, everything else is cancelled. In the midst of it all, however, we can take solace in stories that very rarely make the news. People in quarantine are singing from their balconies; sincere organisations are producing and distributing medicines for the masses. This only goes to prove that even in chaos, there is a silver lining and we need to find that and hold on to it.

The hour is upon us to stay united and look after one another. Stay updated through authentic sources of news and information, follow instructions by those who know about the matter, and most importantly—have hope.

And soap.
