Coronavirus lockdown in India: To-do lists, schedules, forecasts, deadlines. Human beings are perpetual planners. Before the Corona virus upended our world, we rushed and ranted daily, so as not to fall behind our interminable schedules. To meet the dreaded deadlines. To stay ahead of the curve. To ensure we moved forward in the rat race. And, then as various governments imposed lockdowns across the globe, life, as we know it, came to a halt.
Most of us are locked in our homes, holed up with family members for durations longer than we are used to. Even as we transit to working or studying from home, the humdrum busy-ness that envelopes our lives has abruptly ceased. No Monday morning scrambles, no traffic snarls, no have-to-go-here, have-to-buy-that. Life suddenly is stripped to its essentials. We need to cook, clean, eat and sleep. Those who are fortunate to have the luxury of working online, continue to plod away at screens. We try to keep kids engaged with online and offline activities. The new-normal that we are trying to maintain is unsettling, in troubling and cathartic ways.Unnerving because we really don’t know what tomorrow will be like. Despite models and predictions by epidemiologists, global health experts and policy wonks, nobody is certain what tidings we might wake up to or when. Though most of us are at home, the very familiarity of our environment increases our disquiet. Our new routines are unfamiliar to us. Apparently, for humans, living with uncertainty is harder than living with pain. According to writer and psychotherapist, Bryan Robinson, participants in an experiment who were told they would definitely receive a painful electric shock were calmer than those who were told that they had a 50% chance of receiving one. Our brains, argues Robinson, are wired to equate uncertainty with danger.Yet, despite the unease and underlying anxiety, an unfamiliar, but much-needed, quietness pervades the air. As loud honks and the quotidian cacophony of urban life has been silenced, we hear more birds chirping. The air is palpably cleaner. Our lives are less harried. It’s almost as if, Nature has pressed the pause button on earth. Perhaps, during this long-overdue but sorely-required hiatus, we, humans, need to review, reflect, re-examine and dalit routine.
Sure, these are unsettling times. Though we hope that the spread of the Corona virus is arrested in its tracks, sooner than later, perhaps, we shouldn’t just revert to our old ways of living on auto-pilot. Perhaps, by unsettling us, Nature is giving us an opportunity to self-correct.he coronavirus pandemic.
Rather than flashy Davos summits, which heads of state, corporate elite, even glamour people vie to attend, we need to encourage something different, and more meaningful to humankind. It is time we realised how important it is that we learn from the international experience of scientific experts on health and welfare practices. If such an initiative were already in place, the coronavirus pandemic.
For a quick take: contrast the funds available to the World Bank with the World Health Organisation and the difference would be shocking. Coronavirus tells us with deadly certainty that the world is one and health for all is truly more valuable than pursuing individual wealth, which is what world leaders have been doing most of the time.The unintended benefit of wearing masks
Public spitting is a scourge of long standing in India but, for the first time, the fear of coronavirus is challenging it frontally. This could be a breakthrough moment in public health. It has been proven, time and again, how spitting spreads tuberculosis and now we even know how coronavirus droplets, from spitting and coughing can hang in the air long enough to infect people.
Therefore, leveraging on this inflection point, the government of India should conduct an all-out campaign against spitting, just as it did with open defecation. If it were to do so, the results would be dramatic and, right now, we are just ready for such an initiative from the top. People have begun to wear masks and that acts as a spit inhibitor. If a mask is on, then spitting becomes an act that is ‘in your face’ and not on ‘somebody else’s’. This robs the spitter of the pleasing after effects of shooting out coloured glob from one’s mouth.
The likelihood of catching coronavirus has led to a surge in the purchase of masks and a flourishing black market of this facial accessory has also grown. Therefore, the chances are that masks will continue to rise in popularity and, with that, spitting will be on the decline. All of us will end up healthier as a consequence.
