Pandemic: My Observations
This pandemic has taken a monster's shape and is on a killing spree and hopefully, it gets tired and slows down a bit.
Today we should really be thankful to God if we and all our near and dear ones are safe and are getting up with a smile everyday morning.
The news of our relatives, friends, colleagues, neighbors leaving us has become a common thing and more dangerously, each such news makes our elders more fearful and terrified, apart from the huge emotions of loss of life.
Leave alone the elders, even the young are now afraid of CORONA, Stories of many youngsters giving their life either due to corona infection or simply of the fear of getting infected are heard. It is seen that people are losing life more out of fear, anxiety, and panic,
All this is true and is known by everybody. But what I am trying to draw your attention to are few of my observations which i feel things are not as per the society culture
- Society, friends and family are there to help and support when somebody is ill or hospitalised.
Today the situation is, when somebody is heard of having corona, people literally distance away and not even go close their houses.
2. Untouchables was a caste system in old times where people of a particular caste were to stay out of city or village.
Today CORONA affected people have to stay separately in isolation.
3. We all know that when we are born or when we die, we are all.alone and are perfectly safe. During our life we have everybody as passengers who join and leave us like our life partner, children, inlaws , friends etc etc.
Today, a person is safest when he is all alone in the same state as a newborn or as a dead person, either with or without CORONA.
4. People are given last rites as per the traditions when they leave this earth, but this virus has taken that right too. Leave alone the last rites, in many cases near and dear ones are not even shown the face after he/she is dead.
5. This CORONA has given a glimpse of the next War. War will not be fought in the battlefield, it will be fought in each house by the individual, this is just a trailer
6. A superhuman brain and 8 billion such brains are unable to stop this small micro creature which cannot be seen, power of nature (is this a correct statement)
7. What this CORONA has taught us? If a person is physically fit, healthy and active, his immune system is enough to fight the CORONA. Only when that’s down and you are careless, you have to seek external help like the doctor, the medicine, and vaccination. Build your immunity by keeping yourself fit both physically and mentally.
8. The gap between the rich and poor has become more with this pandemic. The poor have become more poorer and the rich have either become richer or at least stayed where they are.
9. Liquor is more important than life for all, the government, and the people at large. This was seen in my state, when there were lakhs of people dying, the govt gave permission for online liquor sales and the demand was so high that the servers couldn't take the laod and crashed within few minutes of starting. God !!!
