#COVID-19...THE DEADLY VIRUS !!

COVID – 19… THE APOCALYPSE!!

I would like to start my work with the following questions to the world from different states and countries;

Kashmir, India is asking: Dear World, how is the lock-down?

Iraq is asking: Dear World, how is it to be separated from your beloveds?

Palestine is asking: Dear World, how are the travel bans?

Syria is asking: Dear World, how is it not going to school?

Africa is asking: Dear World, did you stock up on enough food?

WHO OWNS OUR PLANET – EARTH?

It’s not just for Humans, it’s also for each and every single living organisms that exist on our planet, no matter what size it is. But what did we do?

We humans, attacked and hunted down all such animals and thereby forced them to flee from their land and we dominated. We cut down trees and built skyscrapers there, we made our river sources and oceans, a Trash-Bin, full of wastes, and we polluted our air thereby made lives of birds and other animals difficult. We are doing this, because we believe in the “survival of the fittest” theory, right.?

Well, look what happened to our planet now.

A virus, a single microscopic, infinitesimal virus, was sent or came from nowhere and pierced our eyes. It scrunched our world, has started eroding from one side of our planet. Out of 195 countries, more than 90% are affected by it and still spreading. No medicines were found and hence no cure for it yet. Government officials, all over the world, are baffled, and stock exchange plummeted which already led to a financial crisis, however no one’s worried about money rather than their lives. Scientists & higher authorities insist everyone to be “Home Quarantined”, even global economy is under quarantine then why can’t us? Also insisted “Social-Distancing” which could also prevent the spreading to a limited extend. Social Distancing is a way of creating a barrier of personal distance between two or more people, thereby virus transmission can be halted. Almost hundred years ago, when Spanish Flu happened, people used to do this social distancing and mitigated the number of deaths. No matter, rich or poor, white or black, COVID-19 doesn’t have any discrimination or partiality in affecting people. It forced to lock-down our planet. As of now, no safe and effective vaccinations or medicines are found to cure it and we are not sure how long will it take to find one, therefore the best way is to prevent it as much as we can by following social distancing. Like Spanish Flu, can we call this as Chinese Flu? Well, I don’t know. I remember, my Chinese mate, once told me that, they believe that these kind of sicknesses are due to misfortune or bad luck, or can also be caused by the curse from a hatred person. Superstitious huh!!

Roads are empty, no cars, no vehicles thereby put down the levels of carbon monoxide and nitrogen drastically in the atmosphere. Creepers and Climbers around us are smiling at us now. No ships, no boats and trolling, that resulted in less impurities in oceans and thereby making the sea water clear and more freedom for water organisms. Almost all continents are prone to this virus now.

When there are no people around, animals (of course not all dangerous ones) started roaming around to feel their freedom by breaking their chains. In Detroit, Zoo let penguins to explore the grounds and they are feeling the freshness of their freedom, thanking everyone for their home quarantine move.

Now, when we look out from our balconies, we can see the birds chirping and flying harmoniously. It made my mind to think that did Corona spread happen to provide freedom to all animals?

Apart from other countries, India plays a vital role in preventing this virus to a certain extend. Especially, the small south western state – Kerala, has done a pivotal part in crisis management in this spread. The state has become a model for many other states and even countries for its inevitable role in the prevention of deadly Nipah virus in 2018.

Kerala government has initially taken precautionary steps by locking down major districts which was most affected by COVID-19, prior to the nation lock-down. The first cases of corona virus in the nation were reported in Kerala from three students who came from Wuhan, China. They were later recovered and there were no more further positive reports in the state. Government advised to report to the government organization when people arrive at the airport, prior leaving to their homes. Later a family who came from Italy, without any symptoms of this illness, who were unaware of the government’s order missed to report and drove home and later found positive. Soon the government acted, found them and isolated them. And now the whole nation is in home quarantine. Cops are patrolling everywhere to find those who disobey the curfew order from the government and now they started beating them and charging cases against those who took this as silly and unnecessarily roaming around.

I wish and strongly believe that this will come to an end soon and our government authorities can mitigate and prevent from the disaster. And please don’t forget to thank our doctors and nurses and other government authorities like cops and others who work round the clock in fight against the pandemic.
