Humanity
is fighting the Corona menace at different fronts where people without caring
for their personal safety have jumped into it as a result of which some of them
have even got infected leading to the
supreme sacrifice in the service of humanity. At the forefront of this battle
are our health services workers- doctors, Nurses, Ward boys and other hospital
staff who are waging this battle armed with just a mask, sanitizer, gloves and
PPE kit. Though they are trying some medicines also like hydroxycholoroquine
that is used in treatment of malaria and other drugs used in the cure of swine
flu and aids yet no authentic and final vaccine or cure is yet to be found in
the world. A grand salute to health workers, particularly doctors who are
fighting this battle with a limited resources available with them and thus
taking the risk of their lives by exposing themselves to a great probability of
getting infected. A number of doctors, nurses and health workers have lost their
lives in the world.
At the other front Police and
security agencies implementing law and order and discipline among the people
like wearing masks, using sanitizers, staying indoors and social distancing so
as to contain the virus are also doing commendable job as the only weapon that
they have at their disposal is mask and they are also equally prone to being
infected while doing their duty. In this crisis besides regulating traffic and
maintaining law and order helping health workers in tracing infected people has
also become their job that has exposed them to the risk of getting infected in
the process.
On the third front are the social
organization whose members are creating awareness in the society against Corona and the need of
staying at home during lock down and use of masks, sanitizers and importance of
social distancing in order to win this battle. The work of those organization
and their members is also quite commendable who are preparing and distributing
free food packets along with water bottles and other edibles like biscuits and
even distributing footwear to the people who have set out from the larger towns
for their native village on foot. The workers of these organization are also
doing equally noble job by putting themselves at the risk of being infected.
Then there are people who are
helping people to stay indoors in their houses by continuing the chain of
supply of milk, vegetables and fruits and other essential items at the door
steps of the people as they are also putting their lives at risk of getting
infected. Then the hawkers who brings the news from the state, country and the
world to the door steps of the people in the form of newspapers are also
serving the humanity in their own way as right information is necessary to
fight this hidden and invisible foe of humanity. Again a grand salute to these
Corona Warriors, especially doctors whose sacrifice and devotion is simple
indescribable in words as they have not cared even for their lives in service
of humanity that is supreme sacrifice.
