Will India Ever Be The Same After Covid

WannabValerie · May 25, 2021

British India+WW2+Spanish flu together circa 1918. 13M+ deaths just by spanish flu..

103 years later, people are doing mid-air weddings midst another pandemic...

India as a nation, shall be ok.

Yes.. I did follow up on what would happen because of a few thousand bodies in the River Ganga, and buried in the sandbanks of the river. The river will flood during July-September period, and all the sandbanks would be under water. R. Ganga had been taking in untreated sewage from many towns and cities for as long as it had been flowing. Downriver communities also use the river water (after suitable treatments) for domestic as well as agricultural use.

Contamination of water from green-burials (burials without coffins) is in the first link below. The discussion of the changes that happen to bodies within a coffin are in the second link below. Obviously the green burials would accelerate the decomposition of the body, and one should hope that there will be minimal effects due to the extra burden of Covid bodies in the river this year. Would Bengali's still like their river fish ?

Cannot imagine...covid has wreaked havoc on the healthcare system, economy and life expectancy. Everyone is suffering in some way or the other due to the pandemic..
It will take a long time for India to get back to how it was pre Covid...sad but true.

This is the result of what India had become. It needs to change for better, in many ways.

Many families are not the same anymore already and forever, many kids are going to have to grow without both set of parents, for them its not the same...
However, India as a nation will recover eventually but we need to change how we look at things, scientist say that pandemics will be more common. We dont want India to repeat this heartbreak again.

Statistics relating to covid are disheartening. Nothing is going to be ever the same. We need to look at every aspect of life in a different way now. Right from healthcare to education, from finance to employment industry, from essential goods to service industry, you name it and our approach, outlook and every dimension has to change.
We will recover faster, things will improve, India will adapt. But in the process, if we develop a little more humanity, a little more empathy, then we can say corona has left us with many scars and also with some lessons worthy of life !

I hope once this COVID thing is over that India focuses on hygiene and cleanliness.

Before COVID, people who visited India returned home sick. One lady ended up in ER for a week upon her return.

The Brits thought the country would never remain in one piece with all the castes and languages, yet it remained. Made splendid economic progress from 90s only to stutter from covid. When the developed world suffered the first wave, India sprang a surprise. And the totally opposite during the 2nd wave.

A bundle of contrasts, quite like watching 'Breaking bad'.
