Covid-21

For over a year, we have been traveling with the pandemic and have dealt with the deadly coronavirus, aka Covid-19, but it's a wonder that still, many are in the mindset of believing it to be a myth. And I could hear people saying that there's no Corona in an indifferent tone, and they further add just be deceived, while I even wonder how they could think like this when the world is at war against coronavirus.

Perhaps to say, India is facing its 2nd pandemic war. Began March, just like the beginning of a pandemic war like last year, the cases of infection have started to rise but 20 to 30 times faster, and we're in a condition more than what we had in the middle of last year had been nearly double. If the elections were the reason for the increased spreading of the virus, why should every other state (without elections) have a similar or vigorous spread of the disease? But one thing for sure is that the indifference of the people upsurged the virus.

Maharashtra alone reported half of the country's corona infections. Tamil Nadu counts 6000 and Chennai alone 1800+ daily. I don't think there's something hidden behind the spreading or fact of covid-19, but perhaps there could be some dispute in the way it traced back then. The government showed some slack when the virus was declining, and people too shifted to uncooperative in the process, so it won't be fair to blame only one side for the spread of the virus.

Vaccination, which started in January, so far has been putting for people only above age 45, but for a population of 1.3 billion, it's not an easy task to do quickly. Only lately, or witnessing the rise of the infection, people had come forward to take the vaccination; and both my parents were vaccinated two weeks back and was scheduled for the 2nd dose in May.

I could take the vaccine once the age limit is lifted below 35, my current age. Perhaps I need to consult a neurologist before taking a vaccine since my condition with muscular dystrophy. The government is re-enforcing restriction to a latter level, allowing a partial occupation in public places such as malls, cinema halls, transportation, etc. And the unmasked are fined again, which was missed even among the cops is once again on the spree of collecting fees!  

I wish people act as responsible citizens and humans overall in the progress of driving the coronavirus, a threat to the human race; the coming weeks seem too critical for India, and I hope we all stay together in the distance and kick the covid-19 away. The caption is just for fun, and you don't be scared that there's another covid out there. Lol

I think you are right, people meeting in groups unsafely are spreading this virus. I got my second vax and now read that we may need a booster shot in six months. Yikes. I would hope the vaccinations work for a year.
Be well my friend.

Great post Jeevan! I hope you will have enough doses to vaccinate I ndia.
I dont know what kind of vaccine you will have but may be best to consult a doctor first.I think Pfizer is the safest one
Wish you good look and happy sunday

I'm sorry to hear that the number of Covid cases is rising so quickly in India. The numbers are going up over here as well, primarily among young adults. Fortunately our vaccinations seem to be going well

Hello Jeevan,

I am amazed at the people who do not believe that the Virus is so deadly.
They should all get vaccinated to protect their loved ones.
Have a great day!

There are people here too that don't take this seriously. How foolish and sad. Stay safe!

It is reported in the USA that India's having another major rise in Covid ~ Be Safe ~ be well ~ you are right to reflect on whether you should get the vaccine ~ Still need to wear a mask and practice social distancing even after getting a vaccine ~ Xo

I see similar actions here in Florida USA - college students came down for spring break like there was nothing in the world wrong. Increasing cases of the virus are the result.

The infected cases here are going up and down and up again. Don't know when all these is going to end.
