Well, this attack from nowhere forced us human beings to pause and think for a long, long time, did not it? It simply grabbed us and stuffed us indoors for months! It is going nowhere but it has certainly made us wiser! Few things that this sudden outbreak taught me- 1. Human beings still reach out for others, in India the migrant laborers have suffered grievously because of government apathy, but local people helped them as they walked from their work cities to their homes! 2. Majority of people are still unprepared for a contagious disease, down here people are really not understanding how contagious the disease is, and are simply flunking minimum instructions that doctors and other experts are saying again and again. 3. Indian Government is absolute failure at crisis management, they simply did not even think about the condition of the migrant laborers before indirectly terminating their jobs in a four hour notice to prevent the spread of virus. [Before that they brought home infected people from all over the world by the way, to help the virus spread.] They might have first sent these migrant laborers to their respective states and then announce the lock-down. Four hour leash for a national lock-down is an insanely short leash. 4. No matter how much problem we have we certainly are far luckier than too many! We should be grateful for that and try to help others as much as we can, if not anything else then by not spreading the virus! 5. Our staying indoors with all our equipment is really good for mother nature's health! 6. If anything like this happens again I will pile up hand-washes! I am sure many have done that, that is why that thing has disappeared from the market! My brother was talking about cigarettes though! That is another thing that has simply vanished from Kolkata since March end. 7. Being a recluse who lives in home and is quite at home with that can become a real blessing! Introverts are absolutely not much bothered by lock-down! We dont have a social life or family, dont go out of home unless it is emergency so what lock-down blues are you talking about? You want to say something?
