CODID-19, Bangladesh Perspective


There are different kinds of crisis. Some are regular deprivation from basic demands, some are natural, some are manmade, some are epidemic and so on. Types of different crisis have dissimilarity. So we should have different treatment to a different crisis. Treatment at the time of flood and treatment at the time of cholera must not be same.

In 1971 at the time of liberation war, our prime challenge was to go outside to take part spontaneously and bravely at war. At that time, the persons who went out from home have become our national hero. At the time of flood, cyclone, earthquake or at fire we should help the affected portion by extending our hand physically, we can also build a temporary fund to rehabilitate the affected people as soon as possible. To help the people who are deprived from the basic demands, we should raise our voice against the authority. In case of manmade crisis we should operate awareness programmes in our society. So different types of crisis demands different treatment.

Epidemic crisis is purely different from all another kinds of crisis. It is more dangerous. Main challenge for such crisis is to stay at home! By staying at home, you can save yourself and others as well. You can also become hero solely staying at home! Isn't it interesting? An epidemic can attack the maximum, even the whole portion of a society. It becomes more destructive, more wide and more severe. Its duration seems uncertain. In fact, it can damage a civilisation too.

So, here the game plan must be the most disciplined, most calculative, most practical and most effective. Co-ordination from different levels can make the game fruitful. There is no chance for 'private action', there is no chance for 'fight', there is no chance for 'as soon as possible', there is no chance for 'physically'. We should have a long term schedule and plan.

COVID-19 is a worldwide epidemic threat for us nowadays. Almost all the countries of the world have already been affected. Medicines are not yet available. It is ruling the world pathetically. Nations are trying their best to escape from it. Similarly our motherland has already been affected and authorities are taking every possible measures to lessen the destruction. But discipline and co-ordinations are rare here. People like to rome here and there violating govt orders, some like to face it by fighting, some like to become hero by doing some so called social works at such dangerous time and so on! Unwise decision in case of allowing people from abroad in danger period, in garments field and people’s wrong tendency to enjoy vacation with friends and families by making journey can cost a lot.

We will have to face a remarkable food crisis as a result of our unplanned relief distribution. We are an emotional nation. We like to help people by our own choice at the time of any crisis. But we could not assume the destructive face of COVID-19. We wrongly judge it as a normal crisis. To avoid another famine, we have something to do because time has passed away. Total relief distribution should be operated centrally. DC, UNO should be the chief co-ordinator in respected fields. There should be a demanded list at every Upazilla and Zilla. Relief should be distributed based on the demanded list so that repetition can be avoided and relief can be saved from wasting. Besides govt contribution, if any people or organisations like to contribute, they must provide their relief goods to the concerned UNO or DC.

God is Almighty. I think God will rescue us from this
severe crisis.
