What are the lessons we got from COVID-19 epidemic?
Life is busy since we are born. Everyone from child to adult are busy in their daily routine. In this flow everyone was flowing until the lock-down of COVID-19 epidemic occurred.
Below I am noting down 10 interesting points worth thinking:
Not everything you can buy with money: Note there are millionaires who are affected by covid-19 but are not able to buy cure.
Human being are exploiters of Nature: During lock-down several videos came on social media clearly showing the happiness of animals. They were roaming freely. Even some of the rarest animals are spotted in public areas.
Nature can take care of itself if not interrupted: Air pollution level is dropping significantly. Although from hardcore discussion and resolutions passed by UN regarding pollution control, No significant improvement is seen in air quality of Metro cities. In a small span of 10–15 days Nature rehabilitated its air pollution level without human intervention.
We should know what is essential and what is luxury: The claim of being developed country seems bragging when most of the countries are failing to provide adequate infrastructure to fight epidemic. We are running out of medical professionals. There is a lesson in it. One medical professional is more important than a Cricketer. we have to rethink about of priorities. Even 1% of India’s GDP is not budget for Health. For every 1800 person there is 1 Doctor. The question comes why there is no encouragement shown not only from government but from our society pushing the youngsters to choose what is essential as a profession.
Petrol is no more liquid Gold: When there will be no vehicles to run, there will be no rush for petrol.
How animals feel in zoo: In this lock-down though many of us have essentials of life at home but still somewhere we are missing our freedom. This reminds us how animals would be feeling when locked-down in a zoo instead of protected in a wild life sanctuary.
Most of the jobs can be done from home: Most of the job can be done from home with the same or better efficiency but corporate minded people will not allow it. A vast proportion of population works in IT where it does not require to go office but they have to. Transportation, traffic, rush in public transport, pollution and degradation of life-style, all due to stretched working hours of IT’s that could be replaced with work from home.
Anyone can leave without junk food and drugs: Now while lock-down many of us has not went to pubs and we are missing our shots. But remember most of us have proved that we can live without it.
Kitchen is not only for women: While being at home you must have tried to cook something and have realized its not only for women.
Humanity exists: Lock-down is not same for everyone for some people it is an opportunity to spend quality time with their loved ones, but there are also people earning their daily livelihood doing hand to mouth jobs. Maids, daily laborers, hawkers etc people are in high grief. During this high time there are people who are helping them to make this easy.
There are many ways to be unhappy about your current situation but if there is one good thing about it we must enjoy and endorse it.
