During the coronavirus pandemic people have to stay at their homes (execpt of those one,who work). Some people are happy that they can stay at home, beacuse in their opinion coronavirus will literally annhilate all humanity, but the others compalin that they can't meet their friends and that this whole virus is harmless. For me this social distancing is pretty easy, because there are so many activities that you can do while quarantine. For instance watching films, reading books, cooking and many many others. We live in 21th century so if you miss your friends you can always call them or talk with them using Skype and seeing each other.
Coronavirus is one of the biggest disaster in this century. It's about 30 times more lethal than the season flu and I think that the response of our government has been appropriate. Decision about closing schools, cinemas, theatres, airports and canceling all mass events was quick enough to slow down spread of coronavirus as fast as for example in Italy. Italian showed us how not to deal with pandemic. They ignored an order to not tohang out with friends and now Italy is the country with highest death toll and also the epicenter of a pandemic. Looking at other societies, I am so proud of mine. I think we- Polish do a lot to slow down spread coronavirus. For example many Polish celebrities promote campaign '' Stay at home''. I know it will take months to get rid of coronavirus, but looking at what Polish society and government have done since the first infection in Poland, I'm sure that we will defeat this virus.

Is lying morally wrong?

Lying is an important feature of human nature. People lie when they want to play up to somebody, acheive their goals or not to hurt somebody, but is lying morally wrong? I think it is. Firstly, pure truth is better than a lie, beacuse only then you can build true friendship. In these times people have "false friends", beacuse they based their relationship on lies. Secondly, when we speak the honest but brutal truth we can protect someone from making mistakes. Sometimes some people prefer to tell a white lie to not offend somebody but which in the future might harm someone.
