Coronavirus Update: The Earth is still habitable, and this is not an Apocalypse.

We all clearly understand that we are fighting hard against the global pandemic COVID-19 but failed to comprehend that we are just in lockdown. 

The Earth is still habitable, and this is not an Apocalypse, nor are we living in a post-apocalyptic period.  

Check real-time data from Google. 

Not all but few celebrities are pretending this lockdown to be a dystopian era and sharing videos as if this is a socio-scientific experiment and recording the events:  Quarantine Day One, Quarantine Day Two, Three, Four…  

(Analogy to consider: Matt Damon in The Martian & Interstellar, or any other sci-fi movie, where the person is quarantined for years or goes to a cryogenic sleep and wakes up after a few centuries to find out that everybody is gone. More reference - The first episode of The Walking Dead)

We understand social distancing and now utilizing the lockdown period for opening up our hearts to our beloved ones. But what do we do instead? We call them, text, video calls, group chats and whatever... this is okay for people who are far away from their families or beloved ones, but how is this even okay, when you are not ready to spend valuable time with what is tangible now? 

Also, we should understand that the ones posting Day One, Day Two, Three…videos are not the only ones in lockdown. The whole country is in lockdown and there are thousands of people moving back to their places on foot or finding it hard to survive on minimal food, leftovers from their daily wages (you think there will be any?), people from humble backgrounds wanting to find a way to reach their children, families amidst all those baton charges, filling their guts with whatever is available… So people like you and me, let's not do this. We are here safe for now with our families. Let us hope for a fresh start when this is all over. 

So what's the point? Point made clear. Let's reinforce that. This is not the end. So stop acting like it is.
