As speculation about the third and more ferocious wave of Covid-19 pandemic makes way, people can still be found neglecting the Covid-19 protocols, precautions and safety measures. The toll that this pandemic has taken over the months, and particularly in the last several weeks, should have been an eye-opener to all. Despite the death toll and increasing number of cases, people still roam around without wearing masks; they don’t feel the need of sanitizing their exposed bodies or maintaining social distance. To make things worse, some of those who are caught ignoring important directions come up with all kinds of excuses. For fact, the government issued health advisories from time to time and has been spreading the needed information about the deadly outbreak. If people still refrain from applying them, it is a recipe for a much greater disaster. The behavior of people towards the pandemic and dealing with it needs to change.  It is serious and quite obvious by now. The best health authorities can do as of now is to control the damage. That can only happen if people on their part exhibit appropriate behavior. Those who blame government or health authorities need to answer some of the disturbing questions – despite the high risk of spreading the virus why are there still mass gatherings on every other occasion, why people didn’t come forward to get vaccinated which even forced the health authorities to push for them, why are people shying away from responsibilities. The first and foremost job of the government at these trying times is to save more and more people by whatever infrastructure and resources it has. It cannot work if people are unwilling to share the responsibility and keep waiting to shift the blame and score some points. People at large should understand the importance of practicing social distancing, maintaining hand hygiene in the fight against the pandemic. This pandemic can be only fought with unity and not by being divided in opinions and adopting reckless behavior. Maintaining social distancing and restricted movement of people can help decrease the rate of covid transmission.  The efforts of doctors, supporting staff and other agencies at this point of time are laudable. These front runners toil every day to keep us all safe. If we keep up our cavalier attitude now we are only making their efforts of saving people go in vain.  It has been proven beyond any doubt that adopting covid appropriate behavior is the safest way to stop this deadly transmission. In tough times it is all the more important that better sense prevails.
