An eye-opener in how we, as a species, emotionally react to calamity and crisis.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been battling with bush fires, pandemics, and racial discrimination. All so calamitous and anxiety inducing that we can\u2019t imagine life being the same ever again.<\/p>\n<p>We know how tough it has been to cope with all the external stresses the current events have burdened us with. Trust us.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the Covid-19 pandemic shutting down the nation\u2019s main source of income, which is tourism, we\u2019ve also been hit hard by cyclone Harold.<\/p>\n<p>After all the flames have been put out, and everything reaches a sense of normalcy, we will all search for a quite escape where life is simple, and most importantly, normal.<\/p>\n<p>An escape to the tropics. To another time, and another place. A place where phones are put down to absorb the natural beauty of the surroundings, with no anarchy, fear, or anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself ready for an escape to an island paradise, where

Pacific spared our island paradise from a devastating outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>To remain coronavirus-free, the government declared a state of emergency from March 26.<\/p>\n<p>We closed all ports of entry both land and sea, banning travel between our islands just three days after the last flight left for Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Although we got lucky with the global pandemic, cyclone Harold did not spare us. One of the strongest cyclones ever recorded in the Southeast Pacific, caused catastrophic damage when it struck on April 6.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent the coronavirus from being brought to Vanuatu, officials have banned foreign aid workers from entering the country to help.<\/p>\n<p>Australia, New Zealand and China, flew in aid, but&nbsp; supplies were quarantined for three days and disinfected for safety.<\/p>\n<p>Banning all types of international travel was a tough call for our economy.
