Corona’s blazing fast spread in the West

Covid19 by Markus Spiske

You wake up in a cosy bed, central cooling system keeping the temperature live-able, voice enabled electric system, a good configured house, outside a metalled road, insured car in the garage and a sober income. These are ingredients of a rich life. These are not found much often in Pakistan. And I am quite sure, most of these facilities are available to common people in the West.

I am not anti-luxury, poverty-hooked and a self-righteous person. I surely love a country having a good economy, lesser poverty and luxury at the door of every house. In fact, I want this is how Pakistan becomes some day sooner. But with luxury comes the cost, let’s discuss its impact on immunity from viruses.

1. The Problem

2. The Solution

1. The Problem

The biggest impact of luxury is on mental health. It dulls down the senses to feel grateful. Common problems like, a broken car, a damaged TV and lack of enough money, starts looking bigger. Continuously living a life of richness decreases the overall satisfaction of people.

West was not like this some days back, after the World War and Cold War. While the Churchill was sending boats to Dunkirk, it was in a state of War. The channels were ruthlessly defended. People were willing to die more often. Death had become a pride. Sometimes USA was moving at a lightening speed to conquer Japan and other times it was one good landing at Normandy. Once the fight was on, the west was finding comfort in lower instances of achievements. A son returning home meant a huge victory back in 40s, today a son returning home from the Job is not at all a victory.

Corona, is different from Malaria, Hepatitis and Dengue. It does not affect people who live a life below the line of poverty. It affects every one. The rich, the clean and the protected. It is carried with the air. Invisible yet lethal. Small yet deadly. It is quite a virus.

Today, the west has become numb. The excess of wealth has pored into houses. The people are living much better life than people of Pakistan. More food on table, better houses, roads dividing villages, earth dug transport systems, good passports, better sense of freedom and lack of fulfilment curbed at the wineries and playgrounds. More noise and smaller hearts. People are losing the real charisma and are badly dependant on artificial luxuries.

If you ask me, the lack of nature has impacted the overall quality of life. The farther the West went from the morning chirps, cows in green fields, the evening horse rides, huts and the life of countryside, the farther they went from a healthier life. They became weaker. Every problem that knocked at their door, is now entertained, embraced and accepted.

Corona is just that, a problem, knocking at everybody’s door. West embraced it quickly. And in East, people are still not opening their doors.

2. The Solution

Social distancing, more ventilators, stricter lockdown, wearing mask, less gatherings in houses, at shops, on streets and quality apps to enforce the control of the writ of WHO / medical institutes. Well, it is all honestly, nothing but a wasted pile of junk. The world has failed at controlling the writ. Humans are social animals, the more you try to lock them down, the more they stand on streets outside marts with their trolleys waiting for their turn to collect the food. It is not possible. It is not the solution. It has not worked in China, Japan and USA. It can not work.

The solution is “Tiger Force”. A force, that gets out of houses, picks up ration bags, creates a new cloud of welfare system, runs home to home and delivers ration. A force, that knocks at our door and gives a glad tiding. Some deliver a handsome of donation and some deliver a pizza. The people running at a lightning speed in Wuhan on their bikes, delivering the medics, constructing the hospitals and uniting like a rock, built a nation. And a nation, managed to win the war.

Pakistan, has literally established a force, named as “Tiger Force”. Its motto is solely to replicate the formula of Wuhan in Pakistan. It has managed to highlight numerous houses that are in trouble. It has gathered in thousands. One Government mobile app named as “The Citizen Portal” is being used to register these young people, who are willing to stand in fire, for their country.

A nation won’t rise, without people. A nation can’t die, for its people. A nation does not exist without the people, who lit bright, spread light and fight fearless.

Today, if you want to win the battle against Corona, try getting out of your houses. Try fighting. Try dying for your brothers and sisters. You will find you might never get the hit. You might never bog down. You might never get ill. You, the West, will get out of Corona. You need to revive yourself, once again, to stand victorious, in this battle against Corona.

Conclusion

Happiness by Markus Spiske

Do not act panic. Do not snatch somebody’s ration. Do not act animal. Do not shut down your neighbour, your father or your mother. Do not think it will not hit you. Do not!

Embrace it as such. It is a calamity. It will maximum, kill you. You will die. With your death this way, you will have saved the entire Europe and the entire World.
