Anxiety

I’ve been working in night shifts for covid duties , almost 6-8hours. I’m exhausted. Seeing people in such condition, helpless, it’s difficult to face all that. We’re trying our best to cope up but it’s a tough road ahead. Pray for us 🙏

Adversities: Coronavirus
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis in India may disproportionately hurt millions of urban poor living in slums across major cities. The slew of measures undertaken by the Centre and State governments, including the 21-day lockdown to enforce “social distancing”, may not be adequate to shield urban slum dwellers from the disease. Over 65 million or 22 per cent of India’s total population lives in urban slums, which are characterized by acute poverty, over-crowding, unhealthy living conditions, and a weak urban public health setup. The effect of the lockdown, though well-intentioned, will affect the urban poor more than anyone else. To make matters worse, public health centres may not be equipped to provide quality and affordable healthcare for the people living in poverty.

The number of COVID-19 cases in India is witnessing a sharp increase. In the absence of community testing, it is unclear whether the outbreak has made its way into the urban slums, especially across metropolitan areas. But it is abundantly clear that combating the COVID-19 in urban slums will take more concerted efforts and expose a large section of the urban poor families to deep impoverishment. The social distancing measures may not be as effective in this context, since the dynamics of poverty and disease plays out differently for urban slum dwellers, compared to the wealthier sections of the society.

A majority of the families living in slums are migrant workers who undertake both short and long duration movements to cities to look for higher wages and work opportunities. The work in an urban informal economy is intermittent, marked by low-skill requirements, low wages, severe competition, and constant job insecurity. Therefore, a migrant household living in urban slums may not have the luxury to “work from home” in a highly informal market. The families living under or near poverty may not have disposable cash to stockpile food or basic necessities for a 21-day lockdown, leaving them vulnerable to hunger, malnutrition, and increasing their vulnerability to the virus. A potential outmigration of the urban poor back to the villages may also exacerbate the extent of the outbreak in India.

The physical environment of an urban slum makes it a Petri dish for disease transmission. Data reported by the central government finds that slums are often located along drains or railway lines, and many of them lack basic drinking water, sanitation, and sewage or garbage disposal systems. Slums are incredibly packed spaces that can make social distancing nearly impossible with reports suggesting more than 1,00,000 people living per square kilometre. The insanitary living conditions and overcrowding have previously led to a history of infectious disease epidemics such as the H1N1 swine flu in 2015, or the dengue and chikungunya outbreak in 2015-16.

The implications of a Covid-19 outbreak in the urban slums can be disastrous for the urban poor and the public health setup. In the absence of affordable and quality public healthcare, families living in slums run the risk of deep impoverishment, disease, and death. On the other hand, the public health system runs a high risk of getting overrun by patients, only at a scale much worse than the previous swine-flu outbreaks.

The situation calls for a roll-out of urgent administrative measures, starting with affordable or free testing, identification, and quarantine of bearers of the virus in slum areas. This has to be followed by the provision of door-to-door drinking water and mobile toilet facilities to avoid crowding around water points or community toilets.



It has been months since our break up and we haven't talked since. I have been trying to make peace with the fact that we might never meet again. However, with this Covid situation blowing up again and people getting infected all around I am a little concerned about her. She has always been a careless person when it comes to her health. I so want to check up on her but don't know what should I do. Should I even be bothered about her?


Confusion
