RELIGION VS COVID 19

When whole world is in lockdown stage and where everyone is trying to cooperate to fight against the deadly Corona virus then the news of gathering of people for religious purpose at Nizamuddin- shook ùs with fear ..

Fear of getting into phase iii stage,fear of losing our hope,fear of losing control over the disease and losing of our lives/beloved ones.  Question naturally arises about the importance of religion over life. In Nizamuddin, people responsible for arranging  meeting for religious purpose reflect their irresponsible behaviour towards the whole society/Country.

I want to ask one question to them that what made them confident to give preference Religion over Life?? When people like them would come to know that religion comes later,human being comes first.

I would like to say that people of Italy did not take it seriously  earlier and they are now paying for it.

Developed countries with better medical facilities seemed powerless against this pandemic.

Hundred times message had been spread from health fraternity/Appropriate Govt that only Isolation and social distancing can save us from this disease.

Of course with lockdown , tracking of infected person and providing them service should be there but where  some people are still not conscious about the impact then obviously question arises–“what will be happened if there would start community transmission??

What will be about adequacy of kit and other medical facilities??

—Govt is doing their best. Its these type of disgusting and irresponsible person who will be responsible for next incident..

Then also I don’t know whether these people will keep life ahead over religion. In this period saving life should be the ultimate motto which can be reflected through lock down/maintaining social distancing etc. 

Humanism should be above all . 

Let’s wait … and hope for the best.
