Dear Editors,
Today’s new cases count from the old country is slightly lower than yesterday’s count. But the counts from USA is nearing half million mark with more than 438 thousand. Canada is not faring well either. France, UK, Germany, Italy and Spain all are going through record rates of daily infections. It is in all these countries where most of Diaspora have called it home. We are all here because of our dreams, dreams to succeed in life and in turn give a hand to those we all left behind. That dream should be kept alive and realized. But scourges like this can brink such burning dreams to an abrupt end. Today’s numbers tell us that the deadly virus has no plan to call it quit soon. I politely ask you to post an article to remind members of our Diaspora we are now in the ,ost dangerous phase of the pandemic and remind them to observe the preventive steps outlined in the mitigating protocol. Patients are still dying and every death is a very sad event. But the death or even being incapacitated by this pathogen of any member of our Diaspora is even sadder because lives will be cut short before the dream that took us out of our birth place will remain unrealized. Please post that reminder/warning. In your headline section. Stay safe. May The Almighty Our Creator Save Us All!!!
