HOW TO MAKE COVID 19 A GODSENT                                        BOON
( This could apply to anyone in Agasthiarpatty, Mumbai , Chennai  ,Toronto or Milan )

The Covid 19 has been in the news for almost a year now  . The havoc it has caused across the Globe both in terms of the lives lost and the financial distress it has brought about will take some time to be evaluated . What is  however  clear is that it is going to be beyond anything that mankind has faced so far other than during the world  war times .

The tragic part is that there are  no vaccines to combat the virus and the virus  being extremely contagious , the only way to prevent the spread of the same is to go on a self imposed exile or lockdown as they prefer to call it  . The Governments both at the Central and State level have left no stone unturned to get this message across to the common man . Visual  and Print Media have been at it 24 × 7 and telling people again and again to stay put at home as this is the only way for you  and me  to survive .

By and large , the message seems to have had the desired effect and people are staying indoors . Sidestepping this for whatever reason will see an exponential increase in the positive cases . Advanced economies of the US UK ITALY SPAIN GERMANY are finding it difficult to meet the challenges . With the medical and other infrastructural tools at our disposal in India , the strain any exponential increase will cause both to the health and financial sectors of ours  is not hard to imagine .

Total lockdown and curfew from 6am today has been announced . All modes of transport road , rail or air have been stopped and manufacturing activity of all kinds  except the very essential have been asked be  closed till the 31 st of this month . Work from home wherever possible has been encouraged .

Despite all the points mentioned above , it is sad to see The  Morons and Corovidiots flagrantly disobeying the Govt Dictates and gallivanting about in their motorbikes endangering not only themselves but everyone who comes into contact with these idiots ..

The often heard reasoning behind this is the
 axiom "BOREDOM ". Having to stay at home and do nothing as the reason for their seemingly idiotic actions is summed up in one word  "BOREDOM"

Now let us dwell  a little deeper into this .
This is probably the only time in your entire lifetime when you have had so much time at your disposal . You have not had it before and in all likelihood , you are never going to have it again anytime again this lifetime  9.
