Epidemic and it's consequences

I’ve been reading
every expert
from every country
All warning of global catastrophe when corona did come to india

When it came
we controlled our borders
Like no other
They said
all fake measures
All are fake reports
India must have lakhs of cases
India isn’t doing testing etc

Well it’s been 2 months
since WHOs warnings
India has placed
the strictest controls
of any nation on earth
(Like China)
That is acknowledged
by WHO & UN & Economist
India’s rates 100 along on the measures index
where countries like US etc are at 70
We still have the lowest numbers of infection per million across earth
Some may argue, we don’t test enough,
But in 14 days even those untested should have shown infection ? Or died ?
It’s now more than a month and we still have it under control (except for one big incident in delhi)

Look at our Mumbai
See how well they have fought this Corona
Listen to our CM on FB/twitter see the steps taken daily,

Look at our BMC,
who would have imagined such precision in epidemic control
Roads r being swept,
washed & sanitised
Water is being treated
Waste is being disposed off
Buildings in lockdown
Areas in containment
They work silently,
whilst we r at home in lockdown

People laughed
at the idea of Taali bajao
Both in India & also foreigners,
but after India doing it ,
You have UK NYC Paris Italy
all doing similar things

People criticised India’s lockdown as stupid
And said look at Singapore
They have nothing
Yesterday Singapore was forced to bring in a one month lockdown as Corona is back

Spain is now doing a
3 week lockdown again
UK is doing a one month lockdown
Italy has been in lockdown
The day is not far when even NYC will also be forced to do a lockdown the cities borders

Think of our own brave crew
Who are flying to bring back our own
And take other people to their homes

A few days ago even Pakistan & Iran ATC praised our pilots & our Airlines flights
Also spare a thought for our cabin catering staff & the BMC guys who dispose off our bio waste / hazmat suits

Yesterday I watched Donald Trump in his press briefing saying “I called PM Modi,
because India makes a lot of Hydroxychloroquine for COVID treatment ,
They need a lot too for their billion-plus people, but ‘Mr Modi promised he will try to help USA”

A Bangalore doc is treating the British Royal family for Corona with Ayurveda and we laugh at our own culture & people

India inc has stepped upto the plate
Tata’s & Mahindra’s stopped making cars
Now inventing ventilators in their factories
Taj Sats catering stopped supplying Airlines
Now it gives daily meals to Hospital doctors free
Taj hotels has opened its doors for all doctors & nurses
Reliance gave it’s hospital for COVID & also equipped 7 hills for treatment
Vedanta is supplying lakhs of PPEs across India
A sanitary pad IIT startup has been making masks for free distribution
A microbrewery Meadery in pune is making sanitisers
Domestic Airlines have carried more than 1500 tonnes of Medical Cargo gratis
Many more companies have done lots of things free
Our Sikh gurdwaras supplying lakhs of meals free daily
Even in NYC & London more than a lakh meals daily

That’s the level to which India & it’s essential services - Doctors Nurses Cop’s airline staff, Industries have risen to fight this new war

That is the spirit of our India
In my 34+ yrs in AI
Ive never seen anything like this
And I’ve seen coups, 2 Gulf wars, SARS Ebola, 9-11, volcanoes etc

We are the Stalwarts group
So let’s not criticise anyone’s efforts,
So let’s as Air Indians at least praise the brave efforts of all our colleagues & also the workers, Air Indians, ATC, Airline workers, CISF, Police, Doctors, sanitary workers firemen, essential suppliers first responders & ourselves.

We should be proud of our country 🙏🏻🙏🏻
