I've never seen one of my friends, a private medical practitioner in Penang, feeling so emotional before but I don't blame him at all. We are living in extraordinary times and any right-thinking man would feel this way too. In a Whatsapp message to my schoolmates, he said,
"India is facing the 3Ps, Phenomenal Pandemonium of a deadly 2nd wave Covid-19 Pandemic. From a drop of Covid-19 cases from Oct 2020 till Jan 2021 there was a lull before a storm when thereafter emerges a massive unprecedented surge of sick Covid-19 patients and deaths till now.
There was basically ignorance, over-confidence and poor, lackadaisical attitude towards proper basic SOP of social distancing, wearing masks and sanitisation. There was utter callousness with over-excited religious congregations, election rallies, big farmers' protests being allowed publicly. Caution was thrown to the wind and this disaster most probably culminated with a new Covid-19 virulent variant.
Is this familiar with Malaysia, letting loose and letting her guard down in Ramadan, impending GE15, emergence of new Covid-19 variants thereby triggering a fourth wave of 3Ps like India?? Scary even just thinking about it...."
