In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2019 to the early stages of 2020, a serious threat have been upon the mankind and now the terror is justified, although at some point people are more likely to ignore it basically in India since people have been called a bluff upon by saying that it’s a rare case here, until now when many people with International travel history have been either tested positive with the virus or have been found showing the symptoms. And so, to ensure people’s safety the government of India have for the first time asked people to self-impose a curfew by staying a home rather than force imposing it like a martial law but despite all the warnings, few people played it lightly by attending parties and public gathering and more surprisingly bursting crackers while our PM rather asked people to clap hands or bang utensils or bells. Now, to tackle further chaos, the national government have called upon a total lock-down of the nation until 31st March. Now let’s discuss why we need to abide by this with a short example:-
A friend of mine have been to say, London, and have carried the virus.
My friend have met people at a gathering and was more likely to infect 10 people but it was too late for him to get tested or warn them.
The same 10 people might spread the virus to 100 more due to negligence or ignorance.
The ratio of 100 will slowly become a 1000 than a million and eventually billion until the whole world will face the fate due to the mistake of one person and basically we will end up with a wasteland.
So our point is that by locking the nation and quarantining the citizens in their own home will definitely break the chain and save lives. Because till now there are no large numbers of labs been set to run tests and even if there is there are no well-trained personals, also unlike Africa’s Ebola that spread around 2017-2018, Corona or COVID-19 has no vaccine or anti-dote yet. So, we basically urge the citizens of India and the world to abide by the law of the governments because it’s undeniably the best thing that our governments have done for the first time for the sake of humanity’s protection, for the first time we are and shall be united in this fight for survival.
There are multiple reasons for the lockdown being initiated by the government 1. Flattening the curve as it is being called over the social space, simply put each country has a limit to the number of patients it can cater to, the number of ventilators, life support machines and even human resources. Due to the high infection rate of the COVID-19 the systems can overwhelm. The whole concept of social distancing and self isolation is we make the number of people going to the hospital a flatter curve rather than an exponential one, so that they can work efficiently. 2. The second one is the most obvious one, people are not taking anything serious enough and a Government enforced lockdown is the best way to make them stay at their homes. The Lockdown is very important because our healthcare structure is not that string infra-structurally and Time is the best gift we can give them by staying in our homes.
One problem why people are being ignorant is that in usual days there would be number of fake rumors surfacing the net. But people should take COVID-19 as a serious and potential threat because my grandfather always used to say that Little learning is a dangerous thing and also said that the thing called consequence doesn't take a second guess. So it's time to think then act.
People are not at all serious and do not understand the gravity of the situation. All this is actually a result of lack of education. People think it is out of fun that government has initiated a lock down. We must prepare ourselves for the worst. Time is changing fast, and no window is left open for remedy.
