It would seem like many people are still living in denial, yet the covid variant, or second wave, will have more devastating effects, compared to the first wave.
It's actually scary
[1] These are trying times indeed
Before looking at what gov, the Opposition & civil society should be doing, we as citizens, need to realise we have a role to play
We really need to change our behaviour, if any gov measures are to be successful
it can't be business as usual
It would seem like many people are still living in denial, yet the covid variant, or second wave, will have more devastating effects, compared to the first wave.
It's actually scary
Lets sanitize, wear masks,& adhere to all regulations, to the best of our individual abilities
most importantly, let us demand the same, of those we can't avoid contact with
Please improve on effective & accurate information dissemination
Curfews & a hard-handed approach,seemingly oblivious to citizens' livelihoods & needs,won't be effective
The public transport system needs to be attended to.
The monopolization hasn't worked, with those long queues, more so in this rainy season, being a breeding ground for more infections
Citizens need to know where they can get medical help, within their localities.
By & large, this information is lacking, leaving most citizens at the mercy of social media
This needs to be attended to ASAP
Parliament, & the Opposition,through it's alternative Min of Health,equally need to play watchdog, jumping in, however they can
This isn't a time for politicking but decisive leadership
Government, civil society, development partners, individuals, all must play their part
Its self serving, to ask what gov or others are doing, when we are being reckless in our individual capacities
