A Common man's view on Covid-19

Time has come to think about post-pandemic life. All countries, all firms, all organisations, all institutions and all productive units drafted their plans to move on. So many reconstructive plans, relief mobilisations, stimulus packages have got introduced. All eyes are eagerly aiming for the normalcy. I am still in confusion whether we moved out of this pandemic or moving with.

For the past around three months, I lost my interest to watch the News on TV and the internet. With the angle of mental health view, I find it is so much annoying. So much hype, like a live cricket score the numbers are shown on the top or bottom of the screen. It is panicking the public instead of alert and aware of them.

So much of voice and noise raised over this pandemic. Still, we are not getting a shred solid evidence about the origin of this pandemic. Only the web of hypothesis from non-veg market to bio labs is going on. A lot of political stunts in almost all nations between ruling and opposition took and taking place concerning this. We are not certain about the gainers and losers till the next elections. 

Lockdown was the only option for the leaders to control at the initial stages. There was a huge debate between ‘Life or Livelihood’. The trend goes like this, life at the initial phase and livelihood at the later stage. Slow down the intensity of lockdown is the evidence for that. Still, the struggle is going on.

Not all the businesses got lost. Many productive units turned into health care products providers within no time and witnessed abnormal bulge in the price of basic safety products like masks. But then a large scale of production and competition brings them down at the same pace as it got high. Corona makes some millionaires within a short time.

New trends are getting into the functioning units. Concept of work from home cemented its place now. Thanks to technological advancements. Traditional work policies and practices forcibly changed. Whether you like or not but you have to, no other choice as an employee. Needs to learn to be successful in any kind of work atmosphere, home or office. 

Sad to watch the issues related to migrant workers. Once again it has got proved that life for the poor is so much hard. The abundance of business units, lack of availability of food, fear of pandemic attack and uncertainty over future made them walk for miles. As a result, witnessed some heartbreaking incidents like deaths due to starvation and physical strains.

Well, as a positive aspect I would say the family as a unit got some time together. Fathers got a chance to participate in household works, working mothers got the chance to try for new recipes, children got an opportunity to enjoy the company of their parents. Above all, the family met the emotional needs of each other and proved the strongest basic unit in life. 

Overall, the present corona pandemic is going to be history soon. Only time can tell us the decisions made now are right or wrong. As usual, let us be positive and hopeful!!
