COVID19 aka Corona virus is everywhere in ears, mind, sleep if not in the air. That is because our minds are blank and pretty much occupied with those horrifying news.
Leaving aside the reason, stats, conspiracy stories against china (China’s conspiracies against the world), there is plenty of other things we can do to our self to become super human out of ourselves.
The Indian govt. announced the lockdown of 21 days till April 15th 2020.
Underlining the critical importance of ‘social distancing’, the PM said that if India’s 1.3 billion people did not practise social distancing and broke the chain of Covid-19’s spread in the next 21 days, the virus’ outbreak could push the country back by 21 years, leaving the country and many families devastated forever.
As we’re in the situation of lockdown (nothing but sit at home mandatory holidays), there is no exception for anyone in this.
