Animals Roam Free & People Hang Food Baskets For The Needy: How COVID-19 Has Affected The World

Governments across the globe are scrapping and taking extreme measures to contain the virus. The current situation in South American country of Ecuador is so grim, that bodies are seen lying on streets as coronavirus overwhelms country's public services.

The rapidly growing cases has made it impossible for the government to keep up the pace with the dead, and scared of contagion, funeral homes are refusing to handle the bodies.

During these tough times, we as a society must come together to help the less fortunate, and Italians are leading the way with a kind-hearted gesture. To feed the homeless, people in Naples are hanging food baskets from their balconies, an example that we could emulate, in these trying times.

Amid a nationwide lockdown, thousands of devotees assembled in temples in various parts of West Bengal on the occasion of Ram Navami on Thursday.

People in huge numbers were seen queuing up outside temples in several districts and sought blessings from the 'Lord Ram' to get relief from the coronavirus pandemic sooner than later.

In a recent LinkedIn post, Saurabh Gupta, an entrepreneur from Mumbai shared the experience of his father, who is a doctor and is facing a shortage in necessary safety equipment. He said in the post, “The doctors were really demotivated and scared because of the risky and dangerous environment they were being exposed to.”

However, he decided to do something about it. They set up a small makeshift facility, sourced materials, set up along with a team and started manufacturing protective suits for doctors. They got the samples ready in just 12 hours and got approval from local authorities a few hours later.

Amid Coronavirus crisis, several non-governmental organisation, social outfits and good Samaritans have joined hands to help those in dire straits.

More recently, gurdwara Haa Da Naara Sahib in Malerkotla, Punjab took the onus to feed students of a nearby Madarsa who were stuck here after the lockdown.

The wildlife sanctuary in Hayle, Cornwall, Paradise Park shut down its doors to the public, but someone had to make sure the animals were well taken care of. Hence, the step.

Four staff members named Izzy, Emily, Layla and Sarah-Jane have taken shelter inside the sanctuary and are looking after the animals who live there. They volunteered to do so and during the 12-week isolation period, several of their colleagues will be helping them out in turns.

From lathi charging, making people do sit-ups, delivering amusing speeches and now turning to bizarre stunts, police have been doing everything in their power to discipline rule breakers and spread awareness about the need to stay home amid lockdown.

Sub Inspector Maruti Sankar, Peapally Mandal, Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh rides a horse painted with images of COVID-19 virus, to create awareness about the pandemic.

The event held at a mosque in Delhi’s Nizamuddin area has turned out to be quite a nightmare for the authorities as well as the people residing in that area. A religious congregation of 2,000 people at a mosque has thrown up several coronavirus cases.

Migrant workers who returned to their homes from different cities were forced by district administration to "take bath" in groups, with disinfectants, before they were allowed to enter the district border.

While many of us are working from home due to coronavirus lockdown, there are those who do not have that option because their jobs require them to be out there in the field.

Ashraf Ali, who is in charge of sanitation for Bhopal Municipal Corporation, is one example of when duty comes before self. The man got the news of his mother's death, but while he did want to be at her side then and there, he knew he had a job to do. His job is to ensure that homes, streets, and markets in the area were sanitized as it's necessary to do so to combat the outbreak.
