For a person with all their senses and health intact, this pandemic is very scary. But for a person who doesn't have it easy this pandemic can be an absolute nightmare, the kind we cannot even imagine.
This story of a 70-year-old man from Thiruvananthapuram will convey to you the simple meaning of not having it all but yet having it all. According to a picture posted by user Arun George on Twitter (and credited to Rakesh Nair from Times of India), the man, a resident of Rajaji Nagar, tested positive for coronavirus.?
George captioned the post by writing: 'This 70yo resident of Rajaji Nagar in Thiruvananthapuram lives with his wife who is blind. He tested +ve, she -ve. He refused to leave her behind when they came to take him to a hospital.(sic)'
However, when authorities came to take him to the hospital, the man held onto his wife's hand and refused to let go. His wife is blind and had tested negative for COVID-19.
It was only when health workers convinced him that his wife would be taken care of that he reluctantly let go of her hand.
Even though there is no more information about this incident, this is one of the most heartwarming stories that has come out during this difficult time. This conveys the idea of pure love and companionship.?
