Corona and People.

 On one side, we are encountering thousands of cases of covid daily, hundreds of deaths daily, and a large probability of more and more cases but on the other hand, people still are not caring about it. People are considering it just as a small disease and literally don't care about the social guidelines, preventive measures, etc.

The irony is when some of the well-educated persons of the society are taking it in a funny sense. 

For the last 7-8 months, I hadn't stepped out of my home, except for the shopping for my essentials. On the occasion of Diwali, I decided to make a visit to my village. On reaching there, the very first view I encountered was the crowding of people and that too without any mask and any social distancing. I was so shocked that on one side, this disease is responsible for such a disastrous act while on the other, people are not even caring about it. From children to adults and old-aged persons as well, everyone was just enjoying things like normal. When I asked them about the coronavirus and the pandemic, they were like, "It's just a publicity shit". They replied, "Media is just creating a hype about the virus. This virus isn't that dangerous". Some groups were like, "Government opened everything, there is no lockdown, means everything is fine now". 

I was shocked when some of the so-called literate people were standing in their support. One more thing, these so-called literates were considered as some of the educated people of society. Hell!

Here I realized, getting degrees doesn't make you literate. Coming to the main point, All these statements show how much unaware people still are. Even after 9-10 months of suffering, people still don't care about their lives but are taking the whole thing in a humourous and a granted way. I can't figure out the reasons behind this kind of mentality. Maybe they are unaware or are misled. Some don't want to accept the whole situation and some may be waiting for the live experiences i.e sufferings of any nearby, etc

I know, this problem is not with few people or with a certain number of people but it's a major issue. I had encountered only a few, there may be thousands of people who are doing the same and as a result, the cases of covid are rising and rising. As a fall is seen, there again occurs a surge in cases. Even then, people are not cooperating. 

The real matter of discussion is, Is human life so worthless that we're putting it in danger without any major cause?

 People at least need to understand the fact that till there is no free availability of the covid vaccine, we need to take preventive measures, we need to maintain social guidelines, we need to avoid gatherings, etc.

At last, it's a request to all, covid is not over yet. We need to maintain covid guidelines if we want to save lives. No lockdown doesn't ensure covid is over and you are free to roam anywhere without masks. Our life is in our own hands but here lives of multiple can be saved if we all will co-operate. For the safety of your own self as well as others,, ensure all covid guidelines and take necessary measures and precautions to prevent it from spreading.
