Question

2. You are Rahul, a student from Kendriya Vidyalaya. You are concerned
about the large political rallies or religious functions taking place these
days. Write a letter to the editor of a newspaper raising concern about the
grave impact of large gatherings amidst the pandemic.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Apropos the editorial, “Not a time to panic” (March 13), it is imperative to take action against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic but we are fearing an apocalypse and reacting accordingly in sheer madness. Conferences and public events have been cancelled, weddings postponed and schools have been closed fearing the spread of the virus. Businesses did quite well out of the disease. The sales of respiratory masks, hand sanitisers, anti-fever medicines and similar drugs have skyrocketed. If we are to avoid the so-called ‘coronavirus apocalypse’, we need to be guided by evidence, science and collaboration, not hype, hyperbole and impulse.
