Fighting the pandemic
Despite assurances, I have never experienced so much fear and anxiety in my life as I feel now about the COVID-19 pandemic (Page 1, “No community transmission of coronavirus, says Centre”, March 22). I am 84, and have seen disasters like the tsunami, floods after tanks have breached, and epidemics such as cholera. But COVID-19 has made them all insignificant. It is unsettling that cases are galloping. With no vaccine in sight in the foreseeable future, people have to be very conscious not to create problems as far as the infection transmission cycle is concerned. There was curfew during the world wars to safeguard ourselves from enemy’s attack. Now, a 14-hour lockdown has to be thought of to try and help safeguard ourselves from a pandemic.
At 5 p.m. yesterday, the sound of vessels being sounded and bells ringing rent the air in almost every locality, society, apartment block, house and building. The Prime Minister must be complimented for his efforts in bringing people together in the war against a virus. We also owe much gratitude to those in service
The curfew has without doubt been successful. People kept indoors as an inherent part of social distancing, which is sure to have helped in the fight against COVID-19. The shutdown shows the support for a genuine and valid emergent
Now that India has proved that it can stay indoors, it is imperative to keep the momentum going rather than bask in the glory of a day’s success of the government having made the country listen to it. There should be more intense measures in the crucial third week if India is to avoid an Italy-like situation. The difference in the ground situation between two major European countries, Italy and Germany, in tackling the virus is a lesson not to be overlooked. India has very few testing centres in proportion to its population size. And the most important point is to take care of the needs of daily wage earners.
The Janata curfew has been successful, but the real success comes when people are out of danger. The pressing concern is that the number of cases being tested and found positive could be a tip of the iceberg. It is quite possible that in a country like ours with a huge population and inadequate health-care services, the number of confirmed cases being put out by the agencies could be off count. The situation could turn bad if there are community transmissions. While social distancing can reduce the possibility of the spread of infection, hygiene measures must be pursued without a break.
It is not for nothing that money is called filthy lucre. In spite of the fact that currency notes change hands frequently, most people do not consider it necessary to wash their hands after touching them. In the process of changing hands, notes may turn out to be a health hazard, all the more so when the coronavirus is in the air. Shouldn’t the health advisories
also include advice asking people to wash their hands thoroughly every time they touch a bank note?
It is a fact that the pandemic has wreaked havoc all over the world. In addition to this, many of us have had to contend with a rise in the prices of essential items. Using the excuse of a shortage of essential commodities, there are instances of prices being raised even though there is no shortage of goods in reality. It has been made worse by all sorts of forwards on social media. One is unable to understand why people are hoarding items. The government must make it clear that there are no shortages and that shopkeepers who are selling goods at a higher price will be prosecuted.
