The killer is still at large… Don’t be insensitive!

Most of us take the killer virus seriously only when it hits our neighbors, friends, or family hard; it hits the housing society we live in and takes a life or two, and we become very serious about deciding to follow the guidelines strictly and, if possible, not to venture out at all; it hits our dear friends or relatives, particularly the elderly, and we show the same feelings and concerns, even advising others to take it seriously. Yet we hear or watch the news about thousands of deaths around the world every possible day since COVID-19 emerged, and we immediately check the death rate, taking comfort or comfort that it is even lower and more manageable. This makes us dizzy and careless, seemingly unconvinced to strictly follow rules and precautions. But we must realize that for a particular person, death means the final closure, the end of the world, closing it completely from everything mundane and that he can never speculate on the behavior or the low mortality rates that the virus shows. . We must never forget how countries like the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and France suffered; we should not take lightly the situation that still prevails in the US, Brazil and India. Therefore, death is totally undesirable, whatever the number, and modern human society can never accept that deaths happen to their fellow citizens on a regular basis. We must learn from this to be compassionate to any loss of life on our Planet Earth, and never be insensitive. The killer virus can infect anyone and can stalk anyone regardless of religion/region/wealth/ethnicity/age, and its low mortality rate is no guarantee of our safety and longevity. From now on you must learn to think of humanity and live for humanity.

The coronavirus pandemic has so far infected more than 16 million people globally with total deaths exceeding 6,50,000. You can no longer be comfortable if infections cross the billion mark, because in that eventuality the death toll, even at its current low rate, would stagger you. You will no longer be willing to indulge in the skepticism or gallows humor that is constantly circulating or in eternal forwarding mode on social media, and you would begin to block those clueless idle souls trying to spend their ample hours of free time, and in the process misinforming and misleading millions. You will have already found several forwards trying to compare the deaths in the pandemic with the normal numbers of deaths from normal diseases, and with that manage to give the impression that the virus is nothing serious that would justify the series of lockdowns and strict regulations. of a new normal. Once they discard their casual approach towards the sufferings of humanity in the clutches of the killer virus, they will cease to be impressed by such nonsense and harmful intentions. And that would open you to compassion, empathy and love for other human beings.

This, of course, does not mean that you are doomed to a gloomy, dull, suffocating existence. Praying for the dead and praying to save our planet from COVID cannot stop you from living your life with positive spirit and brightness: you should never give up your jovial nature; he must do his daily work in a good mood with all the other members of the family; you should do your work from home with pleasure; you must enjoy movies or entertainment programs on TV with everyone else at home; you have to eat with enthusiasm and appreciate the prepared dishes; must be alert and attentive to domestic needs by managing online orders/deliveries well; you should do your daily exercises indoors if outside is not allowed; Of course, if you are able, try donating a few dollars online to make life a little better for the poorest and most suffering; and you must continue to strictly follow the rules by advising others in that direction as well. You must also learn to accept the fact that COVID will not go away quickly and that all positive advances in drugs or vaccines for a possible cure or prevention of COVID will take some time. Furthermore, the killer virus should also be given its due, because we have to admit that the new coronavirus is highly intelligent and dangerous, and may even mutate in its murderous attempt to defeat humanity. In times of crisis, being the eternal skeptic is wrong, and being insensitive is sin. Amen!
