It has been almost three months since this deadly virus surfaced in Wuhan, China. Then it spread throughout the rest of the world. As it spread, countries started enforcing lockdowns, social distancing, etc. When you listen to the experts on TV, one ends up totally confused as to what are the real causes and remedies of Covid-19. Pakistan has not been affected as much as compared to other countries. About 60 percent affected people are those who at some stage returned from abroad.
It seems that these days our TV channels have nothing to show except deaths and coronavirus cases occurring around the world and more particularly in Pakistan. Hence, watching TV is becoming quite depressing and fearful for the entire family. And for the kind information of TV anchors, there are many many more people dying in Pakistan on a daily basis due to hunger, accidents, other diseases and old age. Why don't they mention about them also? This morning I was talking to my eight-year-old grandson in Australia. He also watches Pakistani TV and looked quite concerned. When asked when he is coming here, he in his sheer innocence, said he will only come here once the coronavirus is finished in Pakistan.
