Corona times 2020 -17. Times are getting confusing. How do we go from here?
Saw it on FB, it was posted on 8 May 2020. Doctors residing in the Kunj are forbidden entry from tomorrow, 10th of May. That is pretty drastic order to be complied at a such a short notice . The society however clarified that they are following the municipality orders.
Reflects the mood of the people and how they react.
D is a friend on FB and she is quite upset. The discussion is serious and read on and Judge for yourselves.
I asked her why she was so upset. D said her daughter works in a well known government hospital in Delhi. A doctor who is serious about her work and doing her best against all odds a young doctor faces today.
Often there is no food in the hospital canteen, sometimes she walks seven km to her home. She makes sure to carry her stethoscope to prove she is a doctor and needs to move around. Nice that once a policeman kindly offered to drop her home.
D.....(One who posted:)
"....... to add insult to injury, they want people to clap for medical staff and shower flower petals from aircraft....instead of putting money to better use - of providing medical staff with PPEs!!!!!!!
a bhakt commented that a soldier would be thrilled if he was given a rose in appreciation of his work - that doctors are ungrateful and always cribbing!!!!!
no taking away at all from the sacrifice of armed forces people bit i'd like to know how thrilled a soldier would be if he was sent to war with just a rose in place of arms and ammunition....
again...not to take away from armed forces people....but will medical staff who lost their lives to Covid get medals posthumously?
forget cremation/ burial with honours, people are not letting these martyrs have a decent, dignified burial / cremation! families are being beaten up, vehicles destroyed!
who do these people presume will care for them if they get infected or even just sick with whatever illness?"
The discussion is quite an eye opener.

1.The epidemiological fact that the virus can be spread by infected asymptomatic individuals who had come into contact with symptomatics. Health care workers fall into this category.
2.This response of the RWA was caused by a ill drafted note by the CMO of the area.The Outlook article clarifies.
The entire episode demonstrates the heightened nervousness in the various segments of the society.
