I was talking to one of relatives who lives in the capital last night about the current situation in the capital and he told me how the citizens there behaving towards the pandemic. He told me that they seem to have resigned about it. Wearing fas mask is officially mandated but not enforced. People seem content about walking around with face masks clutched in their hands rather than on their face. He is one of those who are extremely lucky to have been infected early after the arrival of the pandemic and survived it. He is a shop owner with hundreds coming in out of his shop on daily basis and was an easy target at the time when little known about the virus. He has been negative since he recovered and vows not to touch the Russian or Chinese vaccines even with a 14ft pole. But the behavior of many residents in that city is very worrisome. The pandemic will continue to surge. In several towns the already rudimentary healthcare system is said to be overcome with patients. Hospitals are running out of beds already which means patients are on their own to face an agonizing death. This is a call for help! It is once agin time for all of us here to do everything we can to assist those in the frontline fighting the scourge. Let’s put this ugly politics and ethnicity crap aside and pitch in. Let’s send the last penny in our pocket.
