Corona in Pakistan

Corona virus is taking lives from last three months. it started from china and now its spread is world wide. china is our neighboring country. naturally, when it started i was concerned so searched the material available on internet. i came to know this virus is not new only its intensity is. i also read its history, symptoms, and possible cures like herbal and treatment with nutrients. after a few weeks it reached Pakistan too. but we, Pakistanis, took it just like any other matter in our personal or national lives. we just didn't care until the time 50 cases a day started to report. we went to restaurants, malls, vacations and relatives. our social activities kept on booming like pre-corona time. government felt the need to close the academic institutes, students got free and from that day on almost all children of our colony can be seen in the grounds or in streets playing different games, making noise, shouting and quarreling on petty matters and making it impossible to work online from home as is demanded by different organizations from their employees. when children are not going to stay home, i don't understand why on earth they are out of schools. if parents do not have this awareness that their children are needed to stay safe by remaining inside then who is there to let them know this basic and very important piece of information? i think teachers might have more awareness regarding precautionary measures on corona, hence children should go to schools for full day, schools can manage to make students to wash their hands far better than parents. similarly, no social gathering is canceled or postponed around me anywhere, people are visiting their friends and relatives like before. i heard so many people as the office or university or college is closed so we are leaving for a hill station or to visit relatives in other cities. on the other hand, the same people are purchasing tons of food and other commodities for the fear of anticipated upcoming lock-down. i have seen people who check the website showing corona-toll twice but they wash their hands once a day, while moving out and seeing other people outside home. CM Sindh rightly stated that people themselves have to behave reasonably. whatever steps governments take, corona-spread can be minimized only with individual efforts. i heard yesterday that people tend to fled away from isolation units, they are like bombs. in my personal opinion, any person who is diagnosed and he is out of isolation unit should be declared as terrorist. they are as dangerous as a suicide bomber, a person who is putting other people's lives in danger while taking his own. in short, we need to work on individual level to fight the spread of corona virus. stay home, stay clean, stay safe.
