ARE WE NOT BEING JUST TOO CYNICAL - 176
COVID 19 AND OUR RESPONSE TO THE STEPS TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT
The last 3 months have seen all of us being impacted by the CORONA 19 virus . It has attained a Pandemic Status and caused a Worldwide havoc . Rich or Poor , Black , White , Brown or Yellow its fangs have destroyed the very way in which we have been living thus far .
Its spread which started from Wuhan in China to almost all the countries of the world has not only been fast but fatal.
With no medical remedy available and none expected in the near future the only way left has been to delay the spread of the VIRUS .
SOCIAL DISTANCING is the only way suggested to do this . Various countries have taken up the lockdowns in their own way and for differing periods depending upon the severity of the spread .
China , US , ITALY SPAIN UK FRANCE RUSSIA have all borne the brunt of the Fatalities.
Worldwide 300000 lives have been lost . US which prides itself on being the Numero Uno Country of the world has lost more than 87000 lives at the last count .
Let us now turn to India . A Country with a population of more than 130 Crore people with Infrastructure and Medical Resources at much lower levels have restricted the Fatalities to 2600 thus far .
We should be proud of the fact we have done very well in limiting the Fatalities which even advanced countries have been unable to .
Yes , there have been mistakes both by the Center and State which could have been avoided . Migrant Labour Shifting could have been handled better . TASMAC AND KOYEMBEDU issues are a sore point of the State Government .
They have had to make a smooth landing and slide on a Double Edged Sword . Lives have to be saved even at the cost of almost NIL Economic Fallout.
BOTH STATE AND CENTRAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE COME THUMBS UP IN THIS REGARD .
Now comes the Economic Stimulus Package of 20 Lakh Crores being announced during the last 3 days by the PM and FM of the Country.
They have taken particular care to see that the Money and the Benefits reach the needy directly into their accounts in the Banks or through the PDS . They have seen to it that there are no middlemen anywhere as a third party to the passage of this Stimulus Package to the needy .
We have the Opposition at both the State and Central Level together with the Leftists crying hoarse that nothing , absolutely nothing is being done to mitigate the sufferings of the real needy .
They seem to be missing the feel of the Crisp Newly Printed notes and its flavor. Used as they are to the many scams which is almost their daily way of life it is beyond them to accept the fact that they can't have the feel of 20 Lakh Crore caressing their fingers .It would be wise to just ignore these goons .
Let us give a helping hand to all who are the true fighters against this VIRUS .

Do you really believe anything ANY government says?
ReplyDeleteDo you really believe that the poor people who are walking hundreds of miles and dying on the way will get one rupee today? These schemes are nothing more than advertisements for the ruling party. It happened earlier. It will always happen.
No money will reach anyone. A number of "insiders" will claim to have received money - old trick. Find out if people you actually personally know receive help.
And we can't believe the corona figures either in countries like India where speaking "truth" is not our strength. Doesn't matter which government.
How many tests happen? If the West says 80k people died, they did. If China or India say 2k people died, should you believe them? When they said just 3 people died in Mumbai in the early days I myself lost four friends in Chembur and Matunga alone. And not one of them featured in the official 3!!
Like I said to you earlier, the citizen should constantly be in opposition, whoever is in power. Otherwise we will drive them towards authoritarianism like in Africa. No government in any developing nation can be trusted because they all have the same DNA
For the size of impact the Covid19 is causing, any amount of effort will be deemed less than needed. In this context I consider that the government is doing a goid job.
