If society rots, none of us can save ourselves
It can be said, the entire world conceded defeat to novel coronavirus as there is no specific medicine, so far, to treat the virus patient with it. The same world gave how efforts and investment to make arms for killing human!
With open conscience, states and people across the globe extend their helping hands to each other so that they can get rid of the deadly virus.
Amid these, obstruction to place quarantine center for coronavirus patients, creating impediment to burry body of the virus victim at graveyard, hindrance to establish corona hospital, and hiking prices of essentials over the epidemic shed light on the self-centeredness of the some people, and these surprised the conscientious heavily.
Four extinguished citizens of the country-- renowned short-story writer and novelist Hasan Azizul Huq, writer, researcher and professor emeritus Serajul Islam Choudhury, and Researcher and former caretaker government adviser Dr Akbar Ali Khan made their reaction to Jago News about the social incompatibility.
Hasan Azizul said the coronavirus pandemic made human nearer to each other which was seen never but at the same time of people's helplessness noticed some unexpected incidents.
"Some people obstructed burial of coronavirus victim's body to protect self that stunned. Human does not take lesson from nature, this is its proof. But none can save self if the society rots," he said.
Serajul Islam said it seems human is nothing to do but gradually concede defeat to the coronavirus. Despite huge efforts to fight against the virus but queue of bodies is being longer.
The virus has forced people to maintain social distancing but the ones got chance to realize their responsibility to others in trouble.
"In that crucial period, I saw some people being selfish. The incidents of not letting coronavirus hospital, and obstructing burial are savagery in the human history," the professor emeritus added.
Akbar Ali said it will not be possible to overcome the great disaster if people cannot be humane. People should stay well with all, not only self.
"It's now essential for all to behave well. I saw people standing by other. At the same time, I also saw envy and cruelty. I think we will have to confront this epidemic showing tolerant attitude," the former caretaker government adviser said.
