CORONAVIRUS-MY STORY AND WHOM DOES THIS VIRUS AFFECT THE MOST

Three years down the lane Ashok at this time was busy getting ready to college, he closed the doors dusted his bicycle and was about to leave but he sensed something missing thought for a while and left without further ado and while on his way he realized he left his face-mask at his room but that didn’t bother him much and he felt relieved after realizing the thing he was missing and he reached his college on time and yes who could have gone back home just for a mask and be late for his English classes. Ofcourse no one.

Today,Ashok was going to the market for purchasing his usual fruits and vegetables,he took a clothbag, closed the door ,dusted his bicycle and was about to leave when he sensed something missing, the watch as usual was on his wrist, mobile as usual in the pocket, clothbag in the handle but still something was missing.He closed the gates being absorbed in that thought but when he saw his neighbour, he left his bicycle on the road and ran into his house, opened his door, took his face-mask and kept the sanitizer in his pocket and now he felt relieved not just of the thought that clouded his mind but of his, his family and his neighbourhood being safe.

 CORONAVIRUS-WHOM DOES IT AFFECT THE MOST THE RICH OR THE POOR ?

It was Wuhan Institute of Virology from where the Virus leaked but who in this world is affected the most?
You would have heard people say that Corona doesn’t differentiate between rich and poor and Yes you have heard that right it’s both that can be prone to it.
But how can you be prone to something if you evade it, yes that’s what the uber-rich or the multi-millionaires of India did, they escaped from the harrowing situation during the Second wave of Covid. No, I would be happy that they had an option to fly to distant part of the world and save them and their bosom ones when their own people were suffocating ,were gasping with low levels of oxygen. The country saw them leaving in masks and shield who were only to return when the situation would be suitable for them through their “private jets.”They evaded so they are not at risk from this deadly mutants.

Next comes the ones who are a little less rich, the upper class and the upper middle class people who are shamefully and utter negligently crowding in the hilly areas when our country is recovering from the second wave but on the gateway to the third one. If memory is what we are blessed with, then the ones now gathered at the top seem to be devoid of it. They seek respite not in villages with poor offering help but with buddies in Hills getting a life. They are the ones that are privileged, they are the ones who saw funeral pyres on television and social media sites but they neglect the truth.

The middle class and the poor suffered the most neither could they escape from this country neither could they relax after the second wave in hill stations. They lost their jobs, returned home empty-handed to their wives and children doing with just savings.

It’s just a rhetoric to say that Virus doesn’t differentiate between rich and poor. Reality is that the rich have an option and poor ones don’t.
