The world today is dealing with one of the worst pandemics, namely coronavirus. The nation of India has been shut down for 21 days. But there is still no decrease or end to the number of cases being detected in the country. With almost a fourteen-day quarantine required, the prime minister has taken corrective measures. With grocery supply and hospitals still running, the rest of the nation has come to a lockdown till 14th April. But is it enough?
Well, I think not. This problem is a lot bigger in my opinion. The level of havoc this disease has been causing in India as well as the entire world is unimaginable. Much more developed countries than India like America, Italy and the UK have not been able to stop the number of cases detected positive or the number of deaths. And recently in Delhi, after 200 people attended the Nizamuddin, the danger level has risen. Almost 227 cases and 3 deaths have been detected. Even though the lockdown period has been imposed, people still aren't taking enough care and are being reckless, as many still don't understand the gravity of the situation. India's stats today stand over 1200 cases.
If this storm has to die off completely, the lockdown should be extended by at least another week or two. In countries like Qatar, people have been told to not come to offices till May. And India, being one of the most populated countries in the world, will have to be if not more, just as equally careful. The government is taking all the necessary steps and our Prime Minister Narendra Modi is handling the situation very well. But for a completely corona-free India, the 21-day lockdown may not be enough. And the most important thing will be our cooperation which will be the factor that decides as to how fast this problem will be solved. So I request all my friends out there to cooperate. The trade and lives of people are being affected but as the saying goes, "if there is life, there is a world" or "Jaan hai toh jahaan hai". Nothing is more precious than our loved ones' and our lives.
