When one looks at the numbers coming out of the UK daily will be wondering why that country is not thrown into a complete lockdown. My goodness gracious!!! What they are waiting for? Daily new cases country averaging close to 60 thousand with more than 400 Brits dying daily, you can’t call that nothing else except massacre. They even stopped counting active cases and recoveries. How about USA you may ask? Forget about it!!! It is all getting tangled up in the politics of things. Things will not get better here before majority of families ended up mourning the loss of one of their own. The new variant of the virus could not have been here at a worst time. Both variants are deadly but also can be prevented from infected us by following the 3 simple mitigating steps. Wear face masks when you are at places where crowds of people are present, maintain proper distance between you and the other fellow(6 feet or better) ad wash your hands with soap and water more frequently or cleanse your hands with FDA approved sanitizers. You add to these a few other disciplinary routines such as avoid touching frequently touched surfaces like door handles with your bare hands and also avoid touching your noses, eyes and faces before washing/sanitizing your hands to the 3 mitigating steps, then you will fare alright throughout the pandemic. Insha’Allah!!!
