Novel Corona Virus: Is this the time?

The entire world is presently confronting a basic circumstance because of the Novel Corona Virus. It is additionally called COVID-19. It began in Wuhan in China yet it is currently spread everywhere throughout the world. Effectively all the European nations Italy, Spain, Portugal and so on have seen the staggering type of coronavirus. In America, they are additionally making some hard memories to control this infection.

Around 18 lacs individuals are influenced by the infection, around one lac individuals as of now kicked the bucket by this infection and more individuals are influenced by the infection step by step. Bangladesh, India, all South Asian nations forced lockdown to their nations to keep up social separation to spare individuals from this infection. Be that as it may, is this enough?

The current circumstance in Bangladesh is horrible. Eight hundred individuals are influenced by the coronavirus, forty-two individuals are recuperated and thirty individuals kicked the bucket. This diagram is expanding step by step.

The ratio of dead and identified carriers of the virus is alarming as it clearly shows that there are very little testing and a huge number of cases out there that are walking around spreading the virus. This pandemic will sweep through Bangladesh like wildfire if a lockdown and social distancing are not strictly enforced, and that includes, most of all, closing all masjids as they, like fundamentalist churches in America, will be the “hot spots” from which the coronavirus spreading rapidly into the community.

The mass movement of people crowding buses, trains, and boats to be home for Eid will be another very dangerous period for the spread of the coronavirus to every village in Bangladesh. There can be no going to the Masjid or exchanging visits during Eid. This is going to be very hard to tell friends no-but you must do it to protect your family.

Even in America, Republican governors of states with large Christian fundamentalist voting blocs are refusing to ban Christian church services for fear of being voted out of office this coming November!

Tragically, our Prime Minister was fearful of the political consequences if she forcefully closed all masjids and ban rallies and mass meetings led by the religious organizations. They would rather sacrifice their citizens than their own political careers!

Christians, Hindus, Jews, and Buddhists, no less than Muslims, must listen to and follow this enlightened religious leaders’ advice for all deeply fundamentalist religious practitioners in all religions are expecting their god to protect them and demanding the right to hold public prayer services. That they are getting infected and passing on the coronavirus to other people who do not believe or act as they do is the greatest possible sin no matter by what name they call upon God.

In his rush to restart the American economy by easing restrictions on some states while not in others seems unaware that we do not and cannot close the borders between states. Nor can we close off international travel and trade as we are part of an international web of manufacturing and make and sell virtually nothing that does not involve products and parts of everything we make that are imported. In America, they are only facing the first wave of this pandemic and scientists predict a second wave might be coming in the fall. His “America First” and America” go it alone” mentality will only prolong and deepen the human tragedy and do nothing to get the economy back on track.

The world’s climate is changing. Here, not so hot as it was in the last couple of years. I can feel the fresh air. It’s all because of coronavirus. The world is regaining its form. It shows us what we should do to keep our world safe.

In the Kathmandu Valley, we can see the Himalayas clearly as we could back in the 1970s-the new generation is so surprised to see them and to be able to breathe in Kathmandu, even if only from their rooftops. It is so quiet people can enjoy the birds singing in the early morning!

The incredible drop in air and water pollution, the fact that we can breathe again without getting choked up, that we can, when we have to go outside, walk down a street free from traffic and all of its noise and poisonous fumes, make a new generation aware of a world and a way of life far superior to what we have been accustomed to, and in one that we will switch to using energy could exist again.

Something that takes us to the way back. People are staying home, gossiping, giving time to their families. What you can say it might be the only positive side of COVID-19.

I know you all will do everything possible to protect your family and friends but it is going to be very difficult given how many in the community will ignore safety measures and depend upon the will of Allah to save them. Please stay safe.
