- It is very quiet isn’t it ?
We’re being told to stay out of crowds and generally avoid each other. We see empty streets, except policemen and frontline workers, risking their lives to save ours. The few faces are mask-covered, not knowing what to expect if suddenly contrated by Covid. We’re figuring out how to do our jobs at home, should that become necessary permanently.
How does it look from your part of the world, are you a student whose spring break has been extended indefinitely? A researcher who can’t get into your lab? A professor who suddenly needs to teach online? In short, has your daily life been upended by COVID-19?
Staying home is the only way to stop the virus right now, and I strongly believe that even those countries that have not been hit as hard as India should take severe measures to avoid the spread of the virus.
Our intensive-care units in hospitals are almost full, and this is the major threat: Those who will become severely ill may not have the chance to get the proper healthcare. Our doctors and all personnel in hospitals are heroes: They are doing an extreme effort to fight the virus.
This unexpected and devastating pandemic is telling us that we are ONE WORLD, we should all care for each other, irrespective of where we live, where we come from, of our color of the skin, of our political ideas.
Let us leave our indiffrences behind us and join hands in fighting this Covid battle than putting the blame on others to create confusion.
Let us not seek the Pandemic to fill our pockets, while seeing it as an opportunity to make money from those who are loosing homes and their loved ones.
Let us all come together to help the needy and make the world a better place to live in amidst this devastating Pandemic.
Let us Care.
