Question

1. share your own experiences or reactions to the Coronavirus, the lockdown, mask-wearing/protest against mask-wearing. ( your own word 250 words please)

Answer 1

The very first thing that i experienced/ saw and observed around me and which i came to see on television news also was the psychologocal fear of Corona virus.

It is true that it is a drastic pandemic and has disturbed the entire world but the fear, worry, anxiety and stress it had created without any valid reason was indeed surprising.

If we all are capable of taking care and be careful, there's hardly a chance that we may get affected but the casual approach of most of the human beings lead eventually to the huge fear and stress.

Second thing is that i personally feel, media, newspapers, various news channels etc had exploited the issue. There was no need to unnecessarily chew the same Corona stories throughout the day on channels. Most of the debates shown on TV were futile and proved to be a waste of time.

I also experienced that by using the name of "Corona virus", nearly each country played some politics and there was no humanitarian tpuch to the issue.

As far as loackdown is concerned, it indeed affected the bottom of the pyramid/ below poverty line labour force all over the world. For example, in India, numerous social, religious and spiritual organisations emerged as a helping hand for these downtrodden people and provided two times food which they were not capable of getting.

Lockdowns resulted in the increase in domestic violence. There are also the complaints by women regarding frequent demands for sexual intercource by males.

Wearing the masks was a simple still important suggestion by the experts, doctors/ medical professionals. Therefore, i feel that the protests against mask wearing were a nuisance and unproductive.
