WHEN COLLECTIVE PRAYER KILLS ... CORONA SERIES [1]
Fools gather to pray at a time when contact itself is death's agent. Death stalks open in avenues and assemblies but can scarce penetrate the walls of your homes should you observe the health directives of the WHO. The Coronavirus can strike only where distance is diminished and not otherwise. Foster interpersonal bonds now by creating interpersonal physical distance. If you can tide over the crisis of the day, the morrow waits on you to afford proximity.
Observe fundamental hygiene and the pertinent health points raised by the WHO. Do not become quack doctors of the day and play with others' lives. Do not spread misinformation or create panic among the people. Stick to the basic guidelines coming from the medical authorities.
This virus has the capacity for exponential growth and can decimate populations if the correct measures are not adopted in time. Therefore, practise the minimum self-restraint of maximum quarantining of your persons at home. Should you experience any discomfort in terms of breathing or dry cough or fever, be sure to consult your doctor and seek his advice as to future steps required to be taken.
A final word. Do not panic. Do not hoard stocks and reserves by going on a buying spree of essentials. That will create market supply problems and many will suffer including, may be, you yourself at a later point in time. But do not take this deadly virus easy. That will be the most foolish thing you will have ever done. This is a killer virus but only if you go near it.
Prayers now will not work beyond making your heart stout enough to face death if you gather to send your submissions to God. Keep to your closet and pray in peace. Be rational, be scientific, and if you cannot muster such attributes suddenly, pray, listen to rational and scientific medical advice given to you by doctors and health authorities of global repute such as the WHO [World Health Organisation].
May you stay at home and work ! May you feel a sense of peace in such homeliness ! Help yourself and all in fighting this common enemy of humanity, the dreaded Novel Coronavirus that kills.
God bless you all !
