Good evening
Friends, in the wake of this lockdown curfew, because of the global pandemic of
COVID19, all of us citizens are supposed to be practicing isolation at our own
homes. Many people however, are scared and stressed out, at the prospect of
staying at home and also doing house-work at the same time. Most of us are not
habituated to perform daily household chores like cleaning, cooking, washing
etc.
Some amongst us are
extremely annoyed with the Government for taking such drastic measures and
screaming around in various social media!! I hear many of them taking the plea,
“If I stay inside a closed home all day, I will get sick”… That too, is coming
from a 70+ gentleman from my colony.. he walked away saying the above sentence!!.
A 70+ gentleman, educated supposedly, not heeding to
the advice of doctors and the Government! How foolish can we be !!
Today evening, the
first day of lockdown, people in CR Park ( F & G Block and I am sure other
blocks) are moving around on the main road as reported by the residents staying
in the lane opposite the road !! I can hear them speak and shout !
I cannot understand
what bug is biting these people!! Why can they not understand the gravity of
the situation? Dear fellow citizens, please try to understand that sitting at
home will not make you sick at this time of pandemic, but going out will!! Dear
70 year old literate citizen, please think of the other people in the house who
will be stressed and loaded with a COVID19 patient at home, God forbid you
catch the virus! Your wife at home, children and grandchildren, you care for
them not??
This 21 day lockdown
and isolation period is extremely important for containing the 3rd
stage of the spreading of the virus which spreads like a wildfire! We cannot
let that happen!!
Dear citizen, you
who complain of no maid, no helper, get out of your rut and start working for
yourself. Many senior citizens out there are doing their own work, they have
practiced self-help and try not be a load on their family. You who are 30-40-50 year old cribbing about no househelp is
ridiculous to the core!! Even children are
helping out their parents for housework!
With
folded hands, it is a request to stay back home for your own health and the
health of the country. We have amongst
ourselves many foreign return residents who have been home quarantined by the
government officials by sticking a 14 day quarantine sticker on the gates of
their homes.
Delhi is one place
which is full of such foreign return people and some of
these foolish literate foreign returnees are jumping quarantine and can
infect you. They might be silent carriers of the disease even if they are not
showing symptoms. Do stay back home, stay safe and take care. Jai Hind!!!
