Unannounced emergence of Covid19 has created chaos to the entire world, with none were left unaffected by this unseen but lethal microorganism. No one would have thought in this 21st century, humankind regardless of nationality, races, religious beliefs, etc. would have to go through a war with the unseen. In this trying time, one thing becomes apparent, it is important how we interpret things that happened around us. Schools and university are closed. Businesses are suspended. The debate about how people are going to survive in the next few months seems to reach no end as no one is prepared for this circumstance. Reflecting from my doctoral student research work, I elucidate the ways in which I try to understand participants’ worldview through phenomenological design and link it with what is currently happening in the world through Husserl Transcendental Phenomenology and Heidegger Hermeneutics Phenomenology.
