#22 Battle against Corona Virus....We Shall Win

Right now the whole world is facing a dangerous pandemic coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Coronavirus infections ticked above 3 lacs and deaths more than 13000 globally. Every country in the world is racing to contain the spread of coronavirus. Different Countries are taking different types of measures to Stop the Spread. Somewhere Public gatherings have been banned and freedom of movement sharply restricted. All sporting events in the country have been suspended. Schools and colleges have been closed and crews of cleaners have been working to disinfect trains, buses and gathering places. Various trains and flights are canceled. A whole lot of people are asked to stay at home.



India is doing a fine job of restricting the novel coronavirus outbreak. But India’s population density increases the risk of local transmission. Our government is taking all necessary steps to ensure that we are prepared well to face the challenge. They also have so far evacuated more than 900 people from COVID-19 affected countries, including Iran, China, and Japan. But these efforts will be successful only when all people will take precautionary measures and follow advisory by govt.

We all have read about several cases where people underestimating the threat and doing immature things that cause the spread of the virus. Some people do not understand the simple guidelines to follow and risking the life of themselves as well as the others. The life of millions at risk because of this outbreak. We must follow the basic instructions which will be helpful to stop this virus transmission. 

 This generation never faced such kind of situation in their lifetimes. This is a hard time, like a war. There are fear and panic in people's mind. The daily increase in the number of infected people making everyone sad and scared. Our Prime Minister requested people to be part of 'Janta Curfew' to make the fight against coronavirus. We people made this successful. But this is just a start. We have a long way to go. On request of our PM, people displayed gratitude to millions of frontline warriors working relentlessly to stop this virus spread. The clapping certainly is not the solution to this disease. It’s for expressing gratitude. The only thing we get from the sound of clapping, the sound of "Shankhnad" is the positive vibes. Suddenly the negative energy went away and positive energy came back. It gave hope that we all will come together to defeat this danger. Today what India accomplished is that we accepted that we are united and will fight against this situation and will be victorious.

I request all of you to follow the guidelines and take the necessary precautions. Stay Safe.
