Fighting Covid-19: How can we support our community to survive during the pandemic?
Covid-19 has left us debilitated mentally. The pandemic has not only cost us lives but exploited our economy, leaving us in huge debt. Calling it a loss of masses, the pandemic has made us feeble and inutile to the time. All we can think of is wearing a mask, washing hands a hundred times, and keeping our surroundings sanitized. While the practice might be of great use, somewhere we all are exhausted by adopting this new normal.
Call it our fortune that we are here today alive, living a healthy life, and doing our best to survive this pandemic era. We are working, feeding our family, and are able to survive the wrath of this deadly virus because we have the privilege and access to such facilities. Today we are earring with a motive to lead a healthy life and keep our family safe.
But talking about our community, do we really think that we have stood up as a human to save lives or support the lives of those who are in desperate need. Unlike us, many are there who have no access to clean water, a safer environment for a healthy being.
How Our Community Is Losing Against This Covid-19?
Fighting Covid-19 involves working as one army that is strong enough to survive the deadliest war. Being vulnerable to the situation can cause loss of lives and smiles at ones, and this won’t stop until we stand against it. Even if every individual takes their own responsibility, there are chances that we would lose the battle against Covid-19.
There are many who have lost their jobs or are the only earning member of their family, adding more numbers to the poverty rate in India. While the situation has made it impossible for us to be financially independent, many of us are striving each day to overcome the neverending poverty and the risk of being infected. Yes, our community is losing the belligerence each day because:
- No proper education on Covid-19
- Lack of sanitization
- Fieldwork and longer exposure to the infection
- Old Age with no caretaker
- No Financial support
The causes are many with only one solution: Our support to the community. We have stood up for our people many times but today is the real-time when we must step up to support our community.
Our one approach can be the reason, someone is living a more robust and better life than one could have imagined. Apart from following the Covid norms, there is a lot to add to our duty list for making our community mentally sound and strong.
How To Help Our Society Stand Against The Wrath Of CoronaVirus?
Everyone says to follow social distancing, wear masks, get vaccinated, and a number of protocols that are proven to be beneficial to fight the virus. But not everyone is well prepared to face the danger and survive this pandemic era on their own. Therefore, here are some tips that could help us support every life and save humanity on earth.
Monetary Help
Money is one of the essential needs of humans to survive. Today when many are losing their only earning member or their jobs, a little help for a time won’t be much to ask for. Some kids have lost their parents, or elderly people have lost their children. As an individual, you can sponsor money to the local NGOs working for their medical treatment, education, and shelter.
Supplying Sanitizing Materials and Medical Aids
Not every help and support needs money. Our little help with an item of basic utility can be the best we can do for our society. You can donate masks, sanitizers, and some basic medication kits to the people with no access to these items of necessity. Set up a camp and seek support from your relatives and friends to come and donate every small but essential material as a gesture to help and fight the covid-19.
Educate Masses on Covid-19 and Its prevention
Education on covid-19 is a must because many rumors and misinformation have already caused havoc. People are fearing vaccination, or some are in denial of the infection that has made the situation worse since the beginning. Being an educated individual of the society, it comes as our responsibility to pass on the knowledge and make every member of the community aware of covid-19, its danger, symptoms, and preventions.
Adopting a life in needs of a family
A family is the greatest support we have, and we can be those moral pillars who could save a life by granting him/her happiness. Adopt a child or an elderly if possible, giving them a second chance to live with great joy. You can also sponsor a person so that he may live his best life after being affected by the Covid. Get in touch with the organization that needs your moral support to save a life and offer him the greatest thing, a family.
Donate
Charity begins at a home, and a community is a home that needs us today. Donate in every possible way for the upliftment of your community in times of distress. You can run food camping, distribute clothes, and let the community flourish during the pandemic.
This is a long-term battle that we can only win together. Even one failure as a human can cause the destruction of the masses.
