We’ve To Stay Alive Until Coronavirus Ends
Epidemic caused by the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) has caused pandemic worldwide. The brains around the world are now tired of getting rid of this Coronavirus. Researchers have formulated some general rules for preventing corona attacks, even if they cannot detect the antidote.
Using lockdown, social distance, frequent hand washing, using musk, hand-wash etc. Lockdown was introduced to ban mass gatherings. Lockdown is also going on in Bangladesh. All the offices, courts, mill, vehicle, including the factory, business, local businesses are closed. About 80% people of Bangladesh are workers of mill-factories, small entrepreneurs, small businessman, day labourers, drivers of different vehicles, shopkeepers, streetwear shops, flower dealers, ferry walkers, under private or government projects employees, third-sex people including beggars of the underserved lower class. Now what will do these low-income people in lockdown situations? What is their way of earning? What is the way to collect food? What will they survive to eat?
 A driver of van said to The Daily Views Online News paper (He unwilling to his name introduced) “There is no rice, no money, no food after dinner, I got a packet of relief last five days ago, but after tonight it is over, will I be eating now?” Such an uneasy feeling came from his voice. Would anyone say that now? – People in the mentioned profession are being relieved and with that relief they will meet their needs! And another thing, not every category of the professions I mentioned will get relief. There will be a handful of people in the profession. And how long will they be able to meet what they need?
