Today’s “Word of the Day” is ghastly and it is an adjective meaning “terrible, frightful, horrible, awful, frightening, terrifying, alarming, dreadful, appalling, horrifying, distressing, tragic, severe, serious, very bad”.
Example Sentence: Every case has been breathlessly reported, while forgetting that for a country with a 1.2 billion people, the current number of cases is hardly even a blip on the radar. Of course, the price of having gone through one ghastly pandemic is eternal vigilance, and we have learnt that the hard way. There is no doubt that testing has to be scaled up, vaccines and boosters should be made available again to all those who require it, and hospitals need to gear up in order to face a large scale crisis if one were to emerge in the future.
This word is present in How to stay ready for future pandemics and click here to read it.
