Taking corona lightly can cause great harm, should learn from past experiences

The panic of Corona has once again warned to be serious about following the Corona Protocol. In such a situation, the time has come to implement the Corona Protocol or to make people aware of following it. This has also become necessary because the compliance of the Corona Protocol in the country has reached almost non-existent, so the seriousness of the people is also not there. On the one hand, where the cases of corona are increasing day by day in the country, on the other hand, the observance of the corona protocol has almost ended. In the past days, on an average, more than five thousand corona positive patients are coming to the country every day and even though it may be less due to corona, cases of death have also started coming up. There are news of 68 deaths due to corona in a week itself. However, the central and state governments have started becoming alert and on April 10 and 11, two days mock drill in the entire country can be done to check the preparedness to deal with Corona or rather the availability of medicines and resources. But in view of the way the increase in corona cases in five states of the country has put us in worry, vigilance and awareness have become necessary.

It has been accepted almost all over the world that following the Corona Protocol is an effective way to prevent Corona. Today we have forgotten to wear masks, so the use of sanitizer has also almost stopped. Similarly, the talk of two yards has also become redundant these days. The survey conducted by the local circle in the past days regarding the use of masks has put us in worry. It has been revealed in the survey that only and only 6 percent people are looking a little serious towards the mask. That is, only 6 percent people are using masks. The situation is such that despite the spread of corona virus-borne diseases, go to any hospital in any region of the country, only a few people are seen wearing masks. This is the condition of hospitals where only the sick or their attendants go. In such a situation it becomes serious in itself. Searching in markets, public transport, malls, cinema halls, political rallies, religious places, etc. does not show any people wearing masks. In such a situation, the arrival of new cases of corona infection becomes a cause of concern. Especially in Kerala, Maharashtra, Delhi, Haryana and Tamil Nadu, the way more spread of corona infection is being seen, it is worrying.

In fact, the experiences of the Corona period are enough to make the soul tremble even today. Long lockdown, everything closed, migrant workers marching on the highway, people wandering in search of ventilators and oxygen beds and pictures of people dying of corona infection start rolling in front of the eyes, then they shudder. Shortage of medicines, unavailability of medicines and lack of oxygen are not forgotten. In such a situation, considering the experiences of the Corona period, one should not make the mistake of taking the growing corona infection lightly these days. While the government should run an awareness campaign in the public interest, it should also take the initiative to strictly implement the compulsion of wearing masks in public places. Especially in hospitals, it must be strictly followed. Similarly, if sanitizer dispensers are installed at public places then it will not be an expensive deal for the government. Why not only the government, the time has come for voluntary organizations and donors to come forward and make people aware by running an awareness campaign. Not relying only on the government, all alert people and organizations should come forward. It should not be forgotten that we the people and the government have been suffering many times the loss due to the expenditure incurred on the use of these resources due to lockdown and other works. Better results can be achieved by providing awareness and facilities for better security tools than closing everything. Entrepreneurs should also come forward and conduct such programs not from their own but from the amount available under CSR, then it can be considered as a good initiative. We have lost our near and dear ones in Corona. In such a situation, one should become serious, while the hospitals should chalk out their arrangements well in time.
