Will the landmark lockdown judgements prevail?

The covid19 crisis has sure raised more than a few eyebrows and heads.But when it comes to finding a viable solution to the livelihood the people, we sure seem to be drawing a blank.

Have you heard the age-old phrase-"Black lives matter"?! well every life matters during these pressing times. The Corona pandemic has created a void not just on the global milieu but has relegated India to the backbench, so to speak.

The economy has hit an all -time low with businessmen and taxpayers scurrying for their lives back home.Migrant workers seek to journey back home where they may find that the situation is less severe but turns out this mass exodus of Indians and their livelihood has been the worst so far since The Independence.

Trump cares to weigh in on the matter and openly(or rather stupidly claims that this can be averted by spraying detergents). The Modi government has imposed 2 lock downs subsequently starting all the way from March and extending all the way to May(tentatively). Talk about a weekend haul, literally.

The voice of the people who trudged along the dirty, mud caked path back onto their homes with a glimmer of hope in their eyes just so that they could salvage their crumbling life was never broadcasted on any media media platform and this annoys me as a responsible individual.

Time has come to a standstill, my mind is literally done and dusted with this whole house arrest and hence I need to channelize this energy into any avenue and this random flow of thought just whirred through the dusty recesses of my mind. The Indian masses seem to be of the impression that a seemingly harmless superpower like China has given birth to this deadly strain and this in part seems to be true as the origin nation was dear China itself.I wonder if this passes through the Geneva Convention and the US-stipulated norms(which also launched a supposed team to investigate the inception if this dangerous pandemic). The biased media laws prevents it from making statements to defame China  wherein its reputation as a credible superpower gets tarnished.

The vast job market as well as the stocks have reached a point wherein it has been set back 10 years

and the only way to stake a claim from our side is to STAY AT HOME. This cannot be reiterated enough as our bid to society if we remotely have any chance whatsoever to combat this virus is to abide by government rules and stay put. We are known for our resilience and we will push through.

This is my plea to everyone out there, be it from the comfort of your concrete jungles to your homes-PLEASE LISTEN AND STAY HOME.

 How is it that China has been so cavalier about the pandemic and already eased out locations and started businesses and life as we know it anew but the rest of the world is struggling and fumbling on its feet to just make it through the night?!Come to think about it, the demographic of India is easily prone to a crucial strain of this virus making it all the more critical to preserve oneself and steer clear from meandering the streets.

The pandemic has paved way for change and the fact of the matter is, once everything subsides we learn the importance of health and well-being down to its last detail and hopefully pay attention before another brink with death occurs on a global scale.

Now is no time to lament but to make your mind strong and push through, no matter what.
