Corona – Pandemic to be defeated



The whole world is fighting the pandemic which has become like a war to be fought and this can not be fought with weapons but can be fought with solidarity and maturity. Everyone has to contribute their part and take the pledge by not bringing this Virus home, just by avoiding this you are not only helping yourself but to your family, neighbors, locality, city, state, country and even to world.
I would request all to read this and at least contribute to whatever form you can to save the mankind. Let me divide this into 2 parts one is our responsibility and the other is preparedness by government.
Our Responsibility/Duty in fighting this Pandemic:
Before going into that, I would like to explain what stages are and how this will grow exponentially if we don’t understand the magnitude of this Pandemic.
Stage 1 is defined by the identification of the person who has Corona symptoms and is Quarantined before he has spread it to anyone.
Stage 2 is defined by the identification of the source from the infected person and all are quarantined. Stage 3 is when the source can not be identified and the disease is locally transmitted, now here comes the deadly darkness where we don’t know the source and the ones who are infected by the unknown source and this becomes exponential because the one infected doesn’t know he is the carrier and the one who got infected by the person also is unaware from where he got this. This generally comes from the gatherings and the infection spreads without people knowing it.
And hence the lockdown is required which breaks the chain. If this lockdown becomes successful, then we need to treat only those people who are infected and their family members with whom they stayed which will be still manageable number and if we don’t take it seriously then we are not far from repenting our act. Now coming to the responsibilities/duty we as an individual should judiciously offer
Our responsibilities:
1.       Lockdown should be taken very seriously, unless it is very necessary, we should not go out. Even in necessity if we are going out we should be equipped with all the necessary precautions (Sanitizer, Gloves, Mask etc with social distancing). After returning change clothes and take bath without touching any thing
2.       Make at least 10 people aware daily about the benefits of lockdown, spread the positive vibes and give moral support to people having trouble
3.       In this time of crisis, extend your helping hand to those who live on their daily wages by helping them financially or empowering them by getting their share reached to them which Government has declared by tweeting to the known corporators or PMO. Make some arrangements to provide them the food so that they don’t have to go out
4.        We should give our household help 21 days paid leave and provide them the necessities required for them to stay home
Preparedness by Government:
1.       Special task force to be formed who can connect to people in need, here I would suggest to have tie up with Big E Commerce companies like Flipkart/Amazon who have access to majority smartphone holders which must not be lesser than ~50%. They can provide deliveries (Only necessary commodities) to people ordering them and they can be screened and even tracked if anyone found positive. Also they should check the people in the house for their well being and inform medical aid is required. That way majority people can lock themselves
2.       Curfew to be imposed with only limited services running, Police force to be provided with proper precautions (Hand Gloves, Sanitizers, Mask etc.) they should also understand that this is not the curfew to stop riots but this is the curfew to be prevented from Virus, rather than beating people and become Virus Carrier financial or strict penalties are to be imposed. 2 warnings and their licenses to be cancelled
3.       Government to make sure people get adequate supply of necessities (Paid) to their houses by this special task force so that they will remain at home
4.       Media to be spreading positive message and mount a campaign to connect people online and motivate them to stay home, they should be helping people in need and should also raise funds by this campaign.
5.       All millionaires/Billionaires/celebrities/Cricketers to come out helping government and people for fighting this Pandemic
This Pandemic should not only be restricted and controlled for you but for your family and closed ones as well. Lets setup an example to the world that United we stand, and we are capable of handling any calamity with Solidarity and Courage.
My Humble request to all in the end “Stay Home, Stay Safe”
