stay home stay safe
Wherever you look, everything is under lock down. No one is allowed to step out of their homes unless it is an emergency. In a certain city, a young boy is truly annoyed since he has to stay in all day. He complains on and on about how bored he is. Today is no different. “Amma, I’m bored. How long must I stay locked in like this!” he yelled out frustrated. His mother stepped out of the kitchen and sat down beside him. “My little prince, Don’t complain so much. We stay locked in like this for our own good. A virus is spreading and it will be dangerous if one of us were to catch it. We must all be careful” said his mother, patting his head. “How does staying locked in help?” the boy asked confused. “You see... this virus spreads through contact and the droplets of a vir L Upatient when he coughs or sneezes.” she explained. “Won’t it be okay if we stay away from such a person?” he asked “That would have been okay but some people that catch the virus don’t show much symptoms and that person may roam around without anyone realizing it. We might somehow come in contact with him or an object he came in contact with. We might become vulnerable if that happens” she explained “But Appa goes out to buy stuff and he might have come in contact with infected surfaces. That means that we might become infected when we get close to him right” he asked “We can prevent that if we follow proper hygiene” she said smiling “Proper hygiene? What’s that?” he asked curiously “Wash your hand with soap and water after going outside, after going to the bathroom, after touching something bought from the outside and such. Use sanitizer to clean your hands after regular intervals. Wash the clothes that you wore outside. Take a bath after going outside. Wear masks when you step out. Follow social distancing and most importantly....” she paused dramatically “More importantly what?” he asked “Listen to what the government, health workers and police tell you to do” she pocked his cheek fondly He grinned at his mother. “I can help you with your boredom” she said mischief glinting in her eyes “How?” he asked “Help me out with chores you lazy boy!” she pulled his ear laughing. Both of them sat their and laughed together. Even though one can’t step outside, consider this as a chance to spend more time with your family. Love, Laugh and Most Importantly STAY SAFE!!!
