How are you?
This is most common question to you from your loved once. They care about you and therefore doesn’t meet you. Sound strange!!! Yes because they care you. Your loved ones.
You do your best to keep corona virus away from you body. You keep social distancing and use sanitizer and hand wash to regualarly disinfect yourself. You doesn’t meet your friends and relatives to keep both safe.
Its been more than one year that you still under shadow of fear due to coronavirus. This is not first time any pandemic hit you or your ancestor but this time the case is different. Once upon a time resources are limited and health care system is not that advance. Although case is not different in more than half countries of the world and you are resident one of them.
If you are lucky one you probably doesn’t affected by covid 19. Now there’s good amount of possibility that your identified person may suffer from corona and cause death in worst case. Saving from this pandemic is lottery that minimum 80% people including you around you will get out of all people.
The question is who will get worst affected. I have seen many cases of people who were young and nice body are fall in the trap of corona and passed away and opposite to that some old grandpa’s who are in their 80s survive this corona.
It is clearly depends on your luck and some of your efforts that will keep corona virus away from you or your body will doesn’t care what the heck is this corona.
You are bombarded by information about does and don’ts and what happened to you. You follow instructions in very first time you heard. You gradually avoid this as you become experienced and used to with corona. Government trying hard or just show off to contain the virus.In my country India 2nd wave hit so hard that people doesn’t get bed, oxygen and ventilator. Hospital are full so patient need to slip literally on road and empty spaces outside of hospital.
Poor one doesn’t have enough money so they choose to suffer and die. Many of patients die due to shortage of oxygen supply. Indians need to import oxygen and supply by cargo Air Ships to all over states.
No one knows exactly how many died because authorised count is from hospitals and not from House deaths and poor passes on streets. No one knows whether worst is end soon to come.
Rich and middle class family tried everything to survive by paying hectic bills in hospital and arrange ventilator by paying double charges. Imagine what poor have done. Some of social reformer build temporary covid hospitals do service to society. At other hand traders and some enemies of humanity start black market for medicines like Remedisiver used for treatment of covid. Shockingly there were auction for medicines and these were conquered by needy patients relatives by consuming more than 20 times price for the same.
Lockdown imposed were one of the worst nightmare for daily wage workers. There small children and wife starved and pain of survive soak water from there eyes. Eyes searching for rice beans are still in hope of meal before there eyes gets close.
In India mass Migration observed very long time after year of independence since 1947. Crores of people return to there native places because wages are dried and heartbreaking scenes were seen of mass migration. Due to lockdown, shutdown of transport services results in covering thousands of kilometres by walking and workers suffered. Tears from little children’s are dried due to heat of the sun. There’s no mercy from anyone to those who fail to escape before lockdown.
Lucky ones get work from home and ensures receiving paychecks every month to retain their lifestyle. Most of others have not same case. Pressure increases to retain current job and opportunity grab by employers by increasing work load on selected employees by terminating rest.
Companies like Tata in India show true businessmanship and give full paychecks to their employees even though all are at home. Government job openings shut down and aspirants have been waiting for more than year to become government officer.
At other hand rich become driver of opportunities and sell equipment and masks and that nice cottons handgloves to community. Many ideas and Personal protective equipment were invented to contain corona and manufacturer like china grab this opportunity and sold billions of product and making trillions of money in this same pandemic.
Opportunities get by them who prepared for them. Many workers loose their jobs and become panicked how they will feed their families.
You are one of them who live and breathe through corona and still here. Congratulations. Keep gratitude in mind for that. Heroes were seen in this threatned situation by doing help to needy one. They distribute food, cloth, masks and rice bean, wheat to needy civilians.
You also get shocks by activities around you and now same you who have enough courage to face whatever would happen.
The lows and highs of mental condition faced by you during quarantine period. Clashes between you and your family due to continuous togetherness. Loneliness, missing get together, Hugs and kisses night outs long drives, ceremonies, birthday parties, wedding ceremonies, Christmas, diwali, New year evening and many more things you sacrificed due to coronavirus.
Nothing got lost because you are here my friend. Everything will be fine and life will be on normal track soon.
Mass vaccination drives are conducted in country and soon threat will disappear.
The most important moral of the story is patience is key to survival and overcoming obstacles. Wait for opportunity to grab but be prepared for that. Nothing is essential but your life is. Remember who supported you and don’t ever forget them. You are lucky than most of the other who gets affected directly or indirectly through loss of health and wealth and dear ones. We thank god for your precious gift of life to us. Thank you.
Figure out what is still left for doing and hit hard to possibilities to make most of them. Support each other and spread hope not fear.
There is always light at the end of tunnel.
