We really thought after numerous vaccines and boosters, finally the pandemic was over. Covid stopped making it to headlines, lock down was completely uplifted, and most importantly we stopped wearing our masks. Anyone would have perceived these signs as the end of the pandemic. But unfortunately we calculated the situation all wrong. Seemingly, covid was lurking around somewhere waiting for just the right moment to surprise us. So, guys get ready your corona safety gear because covid is back with a bang.
Just like a clingy relative on family dinners, covid is glued to us just like that. We literally threw away our only mask that we used since the pandemic started till the end of 2020.
The whole world is facing a surge in the covid cases. In Islamabad, the covid rate is over 4% and the capital is still at risk of continuous surge in the cases.
After getting tested positive for Covid, the first thing you do is go shopping, eat at your favorite restaurant, and then attend a grand feast or a wedding. Next day maybe around midnight you can quarantine yourself. Rules are meant to be broken and same goes for SOPs. Why take preemptive measures if you know you’ll die one day.
Go party hard, don’t wear masks or use sanitizers and at the end blame government or the pandemic for your ignorant attitude. We just came out of one lockdown, saw the deaths of our loved ones, why are we hell bent on bringing back those days. Bringing back memories is one thing but tell the apocalypse to hit you again because you got the hang of it, beats the common sense.
The positivity ratio of Pakistan has raised to 1.3% in the last 24 hours. As much as 152 people are tested positive out of a sample of 11,663 people. More than 55% patients tested positive for the virus are in serious condition.
Even if the covid is back again, this time it should be us to give it a hard time and not the other way around. Be safe people, wear your masks, and sanitize your hands because no one is going to do it for you.
