The fight against COVID-19, a Saudi perspective
The invisible enemy, as alleged, invaded the borders of states fiercely with no regard to race, sex, age or status. The infection rate around the world has surpassed the two million mark, and the death rate surged to nearly 150,000 worldwide. Several countries have witnessed a catastrophic collapse of their healthcare systems, as a result of an unprecedented surge in patients seeking emergency medical attention in a relatively short time, outstripping the carrying capacity of their healthcare systems. Not to mention the tragic implications associated with the sharp scarcity of ventilators, PPE, and healthcare cadres. As for some countries, their healthcare systems seem somewhat steadfast but nevertheless vulnerable that could be overwhelmed at any moment. Few countries, however,...

The fight against COVID-19, a Saudi perspective

Some ask: Why do they hate Saudi Arabia?
Why this lying in wait and focusing on everything Saudi? Why are they trying to belittle the Kingdom’s achievements? Why are they trying to demonize Saudi Arabia? Why, why and why?This despite the Kingdom promoting good throughout its history and at present, being a source of inspiration for providing humanitarian support and aid to the poor countries and communities.It is also a source of support for development efforts and establishing peace, providing hundreds of billions of dollars for social and economic development from which needy peoples have benefited, and the Kingdom siding with and supporting just causes, among others.Despite the Kingdom’s clear, positive effects on the international community, especially the poor countries, there are people who are lying in wait for the...

The challenges and opportunities facing the Saudi education system in coronavirus period
The COVID-19 pandemic has reached Saudi Arabia and the number of people infected by this virus in the Kingdom is on a steady rise. The prevalence of novel coronavirus disease keeps growing around the world. The truth is: This pandemic has changed our lives in more ways than one.The COVID-19 brought many challenges not only to the healthcare industry but to other aspects of life, including education. Children and students of all ages don’t go to schools and universities anymore, they don’t socialize in a standard way, and their routine has changed practicallyovernight, and the system has to adapt.Saudi Arabia has introduced important measures to prevent COVID-19 from spreading uncontrollably at the right time. At the very beginning of March, the Saudi Arabian government decided to close...

The challenges and opportunities facing the Saudi education system in coronavirus period

An earful from America
I CONSIDER myself fortunate to be living in Saudi Arabia at the time of this global pandemic called the Coronavirus or Covid-19. I feel safe with the steps my government has taken to protect all the Kingdom’s residents; steps taken very early on that undoubtedly have helped stave off a mass epidemic.However, such is not the case elsewhere. In the United States of America of all countries, one would have expected a far more professional response than a young country such as ours. But it does not appear so. At least in the eyes of someone who after several long years as a resident of the Kingdom had moved back to her native country. She writes: “You know I still haven't adjusted to being back here. Maybe — I say hopefully —it is just being here in Florida, but I feel such a fish...

An earful from America

Coronavirus researches are continuing ... and whatever else is lies and gossip!
Where does KAUST to start?There is a sea that blows from the west (of KAUST). And the same sea also distributes its water, fish, shells, blueness and mangroves between south and north, and it runs from underneath like rivers when it passes in the middle.On the east of KAUST, there are mountains of Makkah overlooking it with splendor, light and holiness, and that split through goodness and abundance, with reflecting the depth of purity and light that shines there since 1,400 years ago, expanding all over my country.And when you are in KAUST, you cannot choose a beginning or an end while trying to monitor a diary or a tour that you will carry out as it is all only the beginning and never an end, such as a dialogue or open debate that aspires to a final argument... Nevertheless, the research...

Coronavirus and quarantine: What now?
It is now April, a month of rebirth and renewal. April marks the beginning of spring; trees are blooming, birds are chirping, and insects and bees are hovering. It is quite a beautiful sight and yet hard to imagine that a dangerous, invisible enemy exists amongst us. In the world of the Internet, depressing news and the smell of sickness and death suffocate me. I’ve become immersed in the news feed and social media updates. In these different media platforms, I don’t search for the increase in the number of infected people nor the rising number of deaths in different countries, but search for hope... hope that this virus is dying, the curve is flattening and doctors and scientists are creating a vaccine that will miraculously make things better again. Until I catch a glimpse of...

Coronavirus and quarantine: What now?

This is we and these are our sublime values
When the coronavirus (COVID-19) invaded the borders of countries across the globe, infecting and claiming the lives of many people and draining the global economy, leaders of these countries rushed to their operation rooms and conference halls to study, analyze, supervise and plan all what they can do to preserve their most valuable asset. However, countries vary in their assessment of the most valuable asset that they have in terms of their political agendas or economies or their party interests or presidential elections and so on.In this turbulent scenario that emerged after the outbreak of the pandemic, Saudi Arabia comes in the forefront of countries that have clearly demonstrated that their most valuable asset is humans. It harnessed all its resources, including manpower, money,...

To protect the society, let’s build confidence and unify ranks
The proliferation of the COVID-19 virus posed a serious threat to world public health due to its rapid spread over a wide area and the great difficulty in imposing precautionary measures to curb the spread of the epidemic.Following the outbreak of the epidemic in the Chinese city of Wuhan, early last year, China took firm, decisive, comprehensive, full-fledged highest-level precautionary measures including quarantines to curb the spread of the epidemic. These efforts were exerted under the leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping and his direct supervision.The successful Chinese experience has proved that the epidemic can be controlled, but it requires strenuous efforts and great sacrifices by the government and all the people.Following are the major lessons from the Chinese method of...

‘Hold your heads up high,’ a message to our invisible heroes
By Turki Bin Talal Governor of Asir RegionKingdom of Saudi Arabia Earlier this month, as coronavirus infections surged in our Kingdom, employees, citizens and residents were heeding the call to stay home to limit the transmission. But invisible heroes are in the frontlines, scrubbing down surfaces, cleaning our streets and placing their health at risk while they work day and night to serve the community. Though they might be standing merely a few feet away from us, they reside thousands of miles away from their families, working hard and effortlessly all for the sake of providing for their families.They are our street sweepers and our cleaners, these are our invisible heroes, who perform their diligent duties by keeping our streets clean, removing harm from our neighborhoods all the while...

‘Hold your heads up high,’ a message to our invisible heroes

Yes, I want to be the second wife!!!
Tariq A. Al-Maeena A FEW weeks ago, a column I wrote titled “Should I take another wife” drew a very moving reply which I am submitting below. It offers another perspective into the multi-wives quandary facing some members of society.The writer says: “Mr. Al-Maeena’s writing has prompted me to reply. I would have totally agreed with him about 30 years ago when I was twenty. The idea of marrying a married man and having to be part of an extended family of co-wives and children would have been a shocking ultimatum for me. Having been brought up in the UK and not having the practical knowledge about polygamy, it would have been a definite no. But age has mellowed me and has shown me the benefits of plural marriages.“I have three unmarried young adult children whom I love dearly....
