It’s mourning to know the daily counts of dead, affected and people in moribund on another hand it’s terribly doleful to know the situation, efforts or misery(mentally & physically) the frontline workers are facing nowadays. Morticians are working 24/7 at funeral land without any rest which is bad for their physical and mental health. People should think before doing something which causes harm to them and their surroundings.
• Ms. Reena – Myth around vaccines plays a vital role in this crisis. People’s misconception about having vaccines, threatening our Health Department a lot. Vaccination followed by mild fever/ body pain is usual and expected effect of inoculation. Government should spread awareness to bring people out from the agitation of vaccination.  And self-restraint( from unnecessary action) is the only way to reduce the massive spread and make oneself safe.
