Global Crush

Global Crush

The virus first had its epicenter in Wuhan, China and later on it spread to European countries and finally to almost every countries in the world. The greatest effect of it can be felt in America where almost 37,000 lives were taken and about 6 lakhs people are being affected. Till now no vaccine have been made but efforts are still going all over the world on to find a solution.

The virus had made the globe come to a standstill and economy of every country is affected. There has been a great fall in the share market and the GDB of almost every country has come down. Thus a Global crush has occurred. I think it will take about a decade to recover from this loss once the pandemonic is over. But God knows when the day will come.

Corona Virus impact

Corona Virus impact

My dear friends, never since my birth have I came across such a situation as the world is facing at the moment. The world is facing a global crush and is still on the rising trend of the graph and no one knows when this curve will flatten or fall. The novel corona virus has created a pandemonic across the globe and has till now taken lives of more than 1.5 lakhs. Did any person ever thought about it that such a situation will occur. I had never heard about the word ‘Lockdown” and now I have a complete picture of it before my eyes. And the response to such a lockdown that it is effective at the same time in almost every countries of the globe thus making it a total.  I had never heard about so many people dying at a time. So tremendous is the frequency that almost on the average about 2500 lives are taken by this deadly virus. So deadly and contagious the virus is that it takes a massive number of lives at a time.

Some reviews regarding lockdown period in Assam

Since the nationwide lockdown for 21 days was announced on 22^nd March 2020 which is to end on 14^th April 2020, it was observed that-

Lockdown was not total in all places of the state of Assam, probably due to negligent of few persons who was not acquainted with such situations earlier.

There are some people who do not have the habit of staying at home continuously. They always have the habit of going out of their homes at least once.

There are some who intentionally want to defy the government orders.

There are also some people who go out in search of food items, medicines, etc.

 Some people who are addicted and have the habit of taking tobacco and alcohols also goes out in search of it.  

But it was seen that inspite of the lockdown fresh cases of Covid-19 affected persons are on the rise. The rise has been gradual and has been increasing every day and lockdown also is nearing to end since today is 11^th April and it was suppose to end on 14^th April 2020. The Prime Minister of our country is arranging a video conferencing on 11^th April with the Chief Ministers of the states to take decision for extending the period of lockdown. States like Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan have already taken decision regarding extension of lockdown till 31^st April, 2020. I would also suggest that the period of lockdown in the state of Assam is to be extended.

The sanitization programme as envisaged by the state government is not good enough since all markets places, shopping malls, public streets along with railings by the pavement etc. in every nook and corner of the state are yet to be sanitized. The govt. should involved the concerned persons from the concerned wards along with Municipal Corporation authorities to execute the programme.

Moreover the govt. should take measures in a ruthless way as set by Bhilwara district of Rajasthan which should be the model for every district. The govt. should engaged medical and healthcare persons to check each and every house in the state for Covid-19 cases and take immediate measures if found to be positive and mass sanitization of public places should be taken on a daily basis. I hope if such measures could be chalked out then the state could get rid of Coronavirus.

India now occupies the top position among the countries in containing coronavirus. The number of affected persons, fresh cases of Covid-19, number of deaths are low as compared to other countries. But things cannot be taken for granted. We can only be free from the virus when no death or cases of affected persons are reporting.

Now the govt. has also launched an app in the form of Aarogya Setu which can be downloaded and install from Google Playstore wherein the user of this app. can be alerted previously if he comes in contact with any coronavirus related persons. If such is the case and he or she can previously take steps to quarantine himself or herself. I think this app has something to do with detecting the Covid-19 cases and I therefore suggest each and every persons to download and register themselves and thus contribute to curtail the virus affecting persons to some extent.

Corona Virus precautions in Assam

Corona Virus precautions in Assam
While the whole world is reeling under the trauma of Corona Virus, Assam is also not left behind. Initially no corona positive cases were detected for the first four days of lockdown. But then some cases begin to appear. In spite of the numerous precautionary measures taken by the state government and the numerous temporary hospitals built in and around the state to cope up with the impending danger, yet there are some people who are not cooperating and making a helm of the affairs.
Our hon'ble Prime Minister had announced a complete lockdown of the nation on 22nd March 2020 so as to maintain social distancing from one another as the virus is very infectious and can transmit easily through physical contact or through coughing or spitting. Almost 90% of the population cooperated with the Prime Minister but 10% are yet to make any notable contribution.
Some people who have got infected have to come out themselves to take test and make themselves quarantine for at least 14 days so that the virus had an incubation time of 14 days. They need to stay alone separated from the rest of the people so that virus may not get transmitted. Regular sanitisation like washing of hands with soap at regular intervals has to be done by each and every person so as to prevent themselves from getting infected etc. has to be carried on to get rid of the virus. 

Prime Minister Modi had called for a nine minute at 9 PM on 5th April 2020 for put off the lights and lighting of earthern lamps with mustard oil, lighting of candles, or mobile flash light as a mark of respect to those corona warriors who were fighting against the disease.

Previously also Prime Minister has announced to clap hands on 22nd March 2020 for 5 minutes at 5 pm for applauding the corona warriors.

I think the lighting of earthen lamps for 9 minutes at 9 PM on 5th of April has something similar with the spritualism as from the astronomical point of view of Hindu astronomy it gains energy to make our immune system stronger, for it has something to do with the planet of Mars and Jupiter.
Any way it is good if it proves to be more realistic and thus helps us in fighting corona virus.

I salute our Prime Minister for this act of him at this hour

Assam is a state of exceptional interest.

Assam is a state of exceptional interest.
The only routes between Assam and the rest of Asia which are practicable for migration on a large scale, lie on its north-west and north-east confines. The Aryans, and many later invaders, such as Greeks, Pathans, Huns and the Mughals, entered India from the north west while from the north-east, through Assam, have immigrants from the great Mongolian race in Western China. Many of these immigrants passed on into Bengal, but in that province they have as a rule, merged in the earlier population. Their influence is seen in the modified Physical type of the present inhabitants who are classified as Mongolo-Dravidians, but there very few who possess the distinctive Mongolian physiognomy or who speak Mongolian dialects. In Assam, on the other hand, although in the plains large sections of the population, like that of Bengal, are of mixed origin, there are also numerous tribes who are almost pure Mongolians, and the examination of their affinities, in respect of physique, language, religion and social customs, with other branches of the same family forms one of the most interesting lines of enquiry open to Ethonologists, Their religion indeed has more than a local importance as in it is probably to be found the clue to the strange Tantrik developments, both of Hinduism, and of Buddhism. The Kamakhya temple which is in Gauhati is a centre of the Saktism Hindus, and the state is framed as a land of magic and witch-craft.
