Thursday, April 30, 2020 (During the period of quarantine, part-3)

Every thing is ready to start again. In fact, many organizations like manufacturing section are permitted to run their business and they also have started their business activities. Similarly, some restaurants are also allowed to open and they have opened their restaurants. By seeing those information, one may think that we have made a victory again COVID-19. But reality is something else. Government says that USA or Europe have decided to break the quarantine very soon and we are also ready for breaking quarantine. But there is a declining trend in USA or Europe. The number of patients is increasing day by day in our country. 

Is it a great decision to open all now???? 

Well, one may argue that quarantine Kills people by the lack of foods as most of the people live below the poverty line. Reality is that quarantine will kill poor for sure. Most of us don't have saving and quarantine stops us from earning money. 

Similarly, breaking quarantine will result in dieing random people. But the number will be huge. Because we don't have too much medical facilities to handle it. 

I don't know what the best solution is. But it's not the right time to break quarantine as the number of cases is increasing every day. 

Saturday, April 25, 2020 (Staring the month of Ramadan during the period of quarantine)

So, it's the first day of Ramada-2020 but everything is not usual like other years. Every year, the day starts like a festival but the scenario is totally different year this. There is no iftar shop this year. Infact, there is also restriction on "Tarabi" Prayer. 

Many initiatives are taken but it is not implemented properly. People still go outside with or without needs. We don't properly understand the concept of quarantine. 

Today, I have visited my work station and it is approximately empty. Only 10/12 persons are there. 

Though I am fasting, the feeling of fasting is not same as previous years. Life is like a jail now. But the scenario will change one day which every will be normal. 

Saturday, April 18, 2020 (Days of Quarantine)

The days of quarantine are days without any light. The light of hopes is missing. No one knows when the days of quarantine will end. it seems like a nightmare and there is a hope of overcoming nightmares someday. 

The quarantine or general government holidays started on 25 March and announced to end on 25 April after extending 4/5 times. But it will not end on 25 April for sure and no one knows the ending date of it. Everything is quiet uncertain. The main reason behind it is obviously the lack of public conscious. They don’t follow any rules and regulation which will make hamper the life of others. I visited office last time on 7 April as TV industry is outside of this general public holiday. The office still runs with a limited employees of 20/25 persons. 

I don’t get any holiday in my life without a specific period of time. In fact, the situation like this will not be faced by me hopefully in my life time. I go to bed around 1 AM and wake up around 10 AM. But dreams are horrible. I wake up frequently in nights with terrible dreams like finding water to wash hands. Things like this started around 10/12 march. Sometimes, I wake up in the night and wash my hand with hand sanitizer then I realize it's just a dream. There is a mental pressure in me now. Obviously it is because the news channels where there is no news expect Corona discussion. There may be one of the two things; firstly I am too much panic or secondly I am too much conscious about the concern. Maybe I am both panic and conscious. It doesn't matter which situation is true. But there is restlessness inside my mind all the days.

After waking up, I turn on my PC to edit videos for YouTube and switch on TV at the same time to watch news. After taking bath, I do random works like using pc or playing Pubg or other activities. For some days, I use that slot for learning Adobe Illustrator. But there is a long way to learn it properly. I watch news again after then and watch movies later on. At the same things, I teach my wife about Math, English and more on. Before going to bed, I play Pubg which is a popular game now-a-days. Days become bored because there is no specific time period of it. I have also started writing a review of my life in the last decade. I am little low and also have too many things to do. There are some positive things too like giving time to my family.

I have been feeling light fever and headache from today's morning. I know it's just a normal fever and headache but it also makes me panic in some degrees.

The days of quarantine are not enjoyable at all and those seem dark and darker with every passing day. I just want to see the light of hope now. I know everything will be normal one day and I am just waiting for it. 

Tuesday, April 14, 2020 (New Year)

Today is 14^th April and it is the first day of the year of Bangla Calendar. Every year the day is celebrated with joys and various program but the scenario is totally different this year. There are no programs or events. 

Of Course, the reason behind it is obviously Corona virus crisis. The impacts of it will exist for a long period of time. But the day after long period of time will be beautiful. There will be public gathering, no restrictions on movement. 

I hope that the crisis moment will end up quickly and the nation will return on it's original form. 😊😊

By the way, it's also my father's birthday. He was born on this day in 1952. So what we lost our connection in this world, one day we will meet. Happy Birthday Abbu. 

Sunday, April 12, 2020 (Afraid of COVID-19)

A Corona Virus infected person was detected on 08.04.2020 nearby my home. People have been terrified quickly. They took many steps quick after knowing it. Blocking roads, requesting to stay home, limiting public excess in markets were some of them. On the evening, I thought my family was safe as well as my villagers. After all, limiting public excess is the only way to prevent the pandemic disease. So, I was happy to see steps taken by all at that time. 

Dreams have been broken very quickly. Dreams have been broken in quickest time when we expect that Bangladeshi people follow rules and regulation for a particular situation. Most of us do not know or have very limited idea about virus. So, it is obvious that they don’t care about anything. 

Same thing happened with me also. My dreams have been broken on the next day when people violated all the steps. They did not follow any instruction. They went to here and there, gathered for gossiping in roads. Similarly, the market (known as Bazar) was also opened 2 day later. 

I don’t have any problem with anyone’s activity. It is his/her right to do it. When anyone’s activity hampers other’s life, I definitely have objection. Because he/she does have any right to hamper other’s life. Corona Virus is transmitted human to human. Right now, public gathering helps COVID-19 virus to spread more and more. So, public gathering means spreading the virus to others. 

The situation of our country is going to be worst. There are 139 persons found today with Corona infection and 3 persons died with Corona. As a total, 621 persons are infected and 34 of them died. More than 1.8 Million are infected and more than 1,12,000 died as per 12.04.2020.

 But the rate of infection of Bangladesh is rising in geometric way which is not good news for sure. 

From my point of views, the main problem is that most of us do not want to follow any rules and regulation. Similarly, decision makers in small areas are not well educated. They don’t have proper idea about virus. The problem can not be solved in one da And changing people's mentality in one day is not possible either.
