Day 4 of 21 day lockdown
Active case world: 411240
Casualty World: 25421 (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/)
Active case India: 874
Casualty India: 20 (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/)
The ministry of Health and Family welfare website has not updated its database for the number of active cases and deaths due to Covid-19. I checked WHO webiste also for the total case across world and in India but it was last updated yesterday. The worldometer seems well researched database for coronavirus cases across the world. As is available the information says that they source their data from multiple reliable sources and media reporting. It's data is used on Wikipedia website also. So I henceforth will use only Worldometer data for updating here.
Yesterday I had promised to compare the data related to coronavirus from various news channel. But unfortunately , they don't show it frequently. We have so many advertisements and shit breaking news running below the shit main news that it is hard to collect the data.
Anyways, so the day went as normal as it passed the day earlier. Slowly each day has marked resemblance with the previous day. So we have almost not giving importance to the date and day. Even when we see our smartphone we hardly see the date and day mentioned. We straight away scroll to Whatsap or Fb to see any updates. The only difference is that wwith each passing day my fear of Coronavirus is increasing. It also increases as the day passes and is at peak at night. Not that I am shivering with fear but the whole episode is really heavy. Anyways I should focus on more positive things that improves myself. All form of social media including news channels are occupied with coronavirus details. I will have to refrain from it.
Today I somehow succumbed to the temptation or you may call gave in to my fear for watching regular updates on Corona related news. A news came which said that UK PM Boris Johnson has tested positive for covid-19. A day earlier Prince Charles had tested positive for Covid-19. So since then I checked for regular updates about spread of covid-19. I chatted with Amrita's friend in London about he situation there. She sounded very grim and said if PM has tested positive then anyone can. She wondered if everything would be alright ever or not. I wish it gets over soon as per the predictions of Sylvia Brown in her book End of Days. It predicted that the disease would vanish as soon as it has arrived. Wish it does.
The book that I am reading is so far interesting. I told yesterday that I would talk about it more tomorrow. So far it looks like a childrens book. The story is told by a young girl of age , Ill have to check, years old. Haha, I can savour some liberty and lethargy in here. So a young girl named Scot is telling the story about day to day her and her brother. Every summer they are joined by another boy called, Dill. Rest I will tell later on in future posts.
I went to local market in the evening to get some daily products. But today every shop in the market except one medicine shop was closed. Even a small ration shop in our locality, which other wise remained open in evening on all preceding days was closed. Someone told me all shops are ordered to be open only from 8 am to 2 pm. No shop barring medicinal shops will be open in evening. Now I prefer walking to the market whenever required instead of using my scooty. That gives an opportunity to take a brief stroll on the roads in the open. I clicked some photographs of closed shops and barren roads which were otherwise pulsating with life on usual days. Few vehicles plied on road and trace of hardly any men existed. Nature is breathing, Sky is getting cleaner devoid of any vehicular pollution, roads look cleaner and uncluttered. Time is unhurriedly relaxing.
Two photographs are attached below. That was when I was walking from BusStand to Pandit Clinic Road at 7 pm. It was eerily silent everywhere, one which no one was used to ever.
Silence can be dreadful. I will try to click few more photographs and post here as the day passes.
Pray to God that everything comes to normalcy and science finds its cure fast and the disease do not affect India on larger scale.
