Letter Published in BM on 6April 20 .Thank you to all who have helped

K Ragavan writes, the story of grave-diggers donating their one month’s salary really touches one’s heart and revives lost hope in these trying times. This might be a small contribution, but it is one of the greatest contributors to restoring faith in humanity. This relief fund hopefully encourages others to donate too. If one can afford it, monetary help will be a great aid to those in need, fighting this dangerous battle with the microscopic enemy. In three months, coronavirus has changed the world and has the potential to do further damage. Hopefully, good souls like these grave-diggers, will come forward and help build the world and make it a better and safer place to live.

Govts are doing their best, people should listen

K. Ragavan 

 

Negligence and recklessness are the prime reasons why we are registering rising number of cases of Covid-19 infections everyday globally. Governments around the world are suggesting social distancing, taking precautions, wearing masks. 
The UAE is doing an incredible job at taking care of the residents, and putting in place measures that can contain the spread of the virus. People in the UAE are cooperating by adhering to the government directive. There is discipline here. 
In India, too, the central and state governments have waged an all out war against the disease. The nationwide lock down is in place. However, indiscipline among people is visible. Some Indians are still going round and meeting people. Unwanted meetings should be avoided. 
I do agree there are many people in India that survive on their daily wages. And then there are taxi drivers, auto drivers, labourers, small restauranteurs who have been hit. But the basic idea of following rigid discipline was to contain the spread of the virus, so that Indian government would not have to extend the lock down. 
Now day by day the numbers are increasing globally and many cities that are in lock down might continue to remain so for longer. There is no way out except for prevention. 
Besides, it is appalling to read about violence meted out to doctors, volunteers, health workers. Why are such people being abused when all they are trying to do is help people? 
People should cooperate with the governments and follow the advice religiously. This is the only way around at the moment. -K. Ragavan, Bengaluru, India

Implications on the deadly Corona Virus.

The on  going  crisis of deadly virus Corona and it’s fast spreading   World over and thousands of Causalities witnessed was sad and painful.The main causes more day to day number of cases increasing only due to people’s negligence not accepting the advice from their authorities Wheather in India or abroad.Most of the countries taken care of their people and especially UAE is caring the people and so many precautionary measures made was laudable.In India many states has taken more care but lot indiscipline from people was visible.People should not  go round and meeting people and unwanted meetings should be avoided.I do agree many daily wage people ,vendors taxis,Autos

and others fully depending are  very much affected on this virus.But the basic idea of following rigid discipline only not to extend the lock down period.Now day by day the numbers are increasing globally and many places lock down period may extend because not able to control.It is up to the people to decide wheather the lock down period should continue or not.Apart from this in many places health workers,doctors and volunteers are abused and attacked was highly unacceptable. My conclusion on this tough hour people should cooperate with the government

and follow the advice religiously in the house to over come  should have more patience and above all prayers in home.This deadly virus costed many  trillion dollars world wide.As early as possible new innovations should be introduced by researchers to prevent loss of lives as well financial.
