Disturbing topic – Covid 19

Bibhav Pokhrel

About in the last of December, a patient of Wuhan province of China went to hospital when he felt unwell. The doctors said it was pneumonia after seeing basic symptoms without any research. But, one doctor checked the sample and said that this is a new kind of virus and it will ruin the world if we don’t care it. The Chinese government thought he was only spreading rumors. The doctor was arrested and imprisoned . Later when the virus was proved , he was set free. He , then immediately went to hospital and started his duty. After 7 days he also died due to same virus . Later Wuhan was known from where the virus was started. That place was the sea food market of Wuhan. This was the origination of this virus.

The Chinese government regretted thinking that if they had not arrested the doctor , the virus may not spread like this. Nepalese were not paying attention toward its until one person was infected in Nepal. He was brought back from Wuhan. But fortunately he was cured and sent home. Now, there are 6 cases which are confirmed. But no deaths have been recorded due to the virus. It is unbelievable that zero people died in Nepal while Italy has the very much number of deaths. Italy is the 5th country with best health services. It is because of sanitated culture of hunduism which even don’t allows to shake your hands and hindus don’t eat or drink anything remaining after another people consumed it. This virus is roaming in each and every country of the world as pandemic. China is considered one of the most developed countries but it took 2-3 months to control the virus over there. If these developed countries can’t control this , then we can’t think what will be the condition of Nepal when the virus will spread fast. Here in Nepal , people are not taking this matter seriously. Even I had heard some people saying that we are brave gorkhalis so no virus can touch us. For those people, I want to say that this is not a world war or attack of any country to destroy our territory. This is the product of nature. You people can’t go against mother nature. This virus is the reflection of inhuman deeds that we did in the name of superiority. Had we ever think that how the animals in the Zoo feel? We are being taught by this feeling in the name of lockdown. Even now, some people want to go out in this condition. They shall write I AM A FOOL in their forehead as it suits them. Main thing is that we are not stucked in home, we are safe in home. “If you won’t live inside your home for this 21 days, then your family will be 21 years backward than that of the others” ,Indian PM Narendra Modi said this. I request everyone  pray for the existence of humanity by living in your homes. Spend your time with your children. Refresh and learn moral values from your elders. This time with family may not come again. Keep your ego by side and support your government’s decision. From 1 month, we are hearing about symptoms or preventions of this viral infection. Are we really following those preventions properly? Are we really observing symptoms if anyone has? The answer is a big NO. We Nepalese people are not practical. These broadcasted symptoms and prevention are for you. Your life is in danger. Please be conscious. Use sanitizer regularly. Wash your hands with soap regularly. And mainly , absorb natural vitamin D by sitting in sunlight. Eat fruits like orange and papaya. Use turmeric compulsorily in your diet and eat more nutritious food. This virus doesn’t have any kind of antidote or vaccine. Treatment is fully in your hand. The way of preventing is strengthening your immune system. If your immune system is strong, none of the viruses can touch you. Regular physical exercise is required. Children should do it for 30 minutes daily and adult should do for 1 hour. The time has come to overcome your laziness and wake up to strengthen your body. No one will touch you after getting this virus in body. So the self quarantine for prevention is must needed. Check the news in official website of WHO regularly. Do not follow fake and unreal rumors. Lock your gate and don’t allow your relatives also to come inside. Our country has not good health services. You won’t get any kind of special treatment. WHO has said smoking and drinking will make your immune system weak. Now many addicted people will realize why they were suggested to leave it before. In Italy, the dead bodies aren’t being touched. Crane is used to carry those bodies for burning. You can check the video in social sites how scary the situation is there. Please, I beg you not to ignore this pandemic. Otherwise the condition of our country will be like of Italy. Lockdown is for your protection and it means to stay wherever you are , not to go in your villages like in Dashain. Fortunately there are not much infected people found in Nepal due to god’s sake. It doesn’t mean that we can easily go out like there is no problem. It means we are getting enough time to prevent ourselves. Though it is not good to say but this virus is seeming beneficial for earth. The ozone layer of the earth is healing itself due to lockdown. No pollution and no criminal cases are there. May be mother nature is teaching us to take care of earth and other animals through this virus. Contamination will surely be stopped when the people will practice preventions daily. But  people who are already suffering from the diseases like diabetes, high or low blood pressure etc. have weak immune system. Then, their main way to be prevented is self isolation. At last , I want to say that prevention is always better than cure in any kind of situations.
