Strike of Second Wave of Covid19 in India
Sreyasi Purkait
‘Covid19’ such a small name yet it is capable of causing huge havoc and mayhem. Scientifically speaking this virus came from us eating animals and that is not a surprise.
The truth is that each and every animals have millions of
viruses inside them and each one of them can kill us.
In the past we got Ebola from bats in the Congo, Mers
from camels in Saudi Arabia, H1N1
from pig in the U.S. and Mexico and now Covid19
from bats in China.
Because of this Covid19 thousands of lives were gone and
trillions of dollars were lost and for developing country like us our economy
went down and it sets us back 10 years in fighting poverty.
And all for what?
Because someone
likes the taste of weird wild animals!
And that's quite unfair!
Few days back when Covid was at its peak around 3 lakhs 32
thousand cases was reported just in one day, this is how massive the virus was
in India over a year into the pandemic.
And why is this happening in India?
Few months back the Covid cases in India dropped drastically and
most people thought the virus was gone and was not anticipating the second wave.
As a result people decided to go back to their pre- Covid normal lives.
No more social distancing, no masks.
Celebrating festivals, political rallies, and as a result things soon got
out of control.
And then the second wave hit very hard like a tsunami causing a
wide spread havoc and mayhem.
Hospitals were flooded with patients, leaving many without any
bed. Ventilators and medicines were running short, there was a dangerously
low supply of oxygen support for the patients
all
across the country causing many deaths.
During those days all I could see and hear was the siren of hearse
carrying dead bodies.
But what makes this even harder
to accept is that....
India is the World's largest vaccine maker!!
Since last year India has been giving away millions of vaccines
to over 90 countries, which even made Headlines that
“Indian-made COVID vaccines will save the world”
Surprisingly until now only a little over 4% of India’s population has been vaccinated!
The
worlds largest vaccine maker is far from being vaccinated as a nation.
So it seems that today as the virus is overtaking the entire nation its us who need it more than anyone else.
What a Fantastic presentation. Hat's off....
