I am heartily sorry for those families who have been afflicted by the covid-19. And I promise that along with my fasting starting tomorrow (I will only drink water for 40 days for reparation for my sins [like not finding work and relying everything to my mother] and also prayer and compassion for those who have been caught by covid), I shall pray with all my heart to God to those who have disease and covid that they may be healed and rise up from being losing-streak.
