Coronavirus: Poor in India at receiving end

Published on: 

Out of 38 persons in India who have died due to COVID-19, how many had travelled by air and by AC trains? Are they really poor? Can anyone tell me who they are?

If you analyse it, you find the rich who are affected by the disease have gone out of India to earn dollars and brought back corona to India! It’s quite distressing to watch Odias working in lakhs in other States even though Odisha is a number one certified State! About 1.5 crore Indians are working as slaves in other countries but they run to India to show off their patriotism during calamity; how many of them have donated dollars to India?

These epidemics help the political parties, rich and famous to show off their wealth! People have come back to India not to help their countrymen but to spread the disease, remember that. Vote bank politics will ruin India not coronavirus!

My servant, a vegetable vendor, is going to market twice a day for last ten days without a mask but he is free from any infection!

The bottom-line is leading a healthy lifestyle and avoiding foreign culture and foreign citizenship will help India! Those who have gone out of their own to earn dollars must return with their own money, India Government is not responsible for their safety. Bringing back Indians from other countries was a Himalayan blunder!

In recent years, we have had H1N1, bird flu, swain flu, influenza and epidemics. Friends remember viruses will come and go causing panicky situation amongst the human race. This is just a warning. Technical advancement does not help in the long run.
