COVID19 KERALA - ALARMING SITUATION - CAN WE OVERCOME?

Covid19 is alarmingly climbing up in Kerala. Though the state was counted safe at the initial period, things have been changed since then and the present state of the pandemic demands effective measures both by the government as well as by the people. While the people should strictly adhere to the directives of the administration, the government on the other hand may take stern measures to prevent further spread.

Further spread can only be contained by identification and isolation. Every patient should be identified and such ones should be immediately isolated and provide available treatment. In order to identify all the patients, tests shoud be widened, in other words, entire people of the state should be tested. There can be a good number of Covid19 patients unknowingly moving around and mingling with plenty of people. Unless we identify and isolate them the ongoing spread cannot be stopped. This can be possible only by a cent per cent test. It will be a massive, time bound and expensive operation.  It may cost over ₹3,000/- crores. Whatever the money spent by the government is people's money. When the people are at a disastrous stage the government need not think twice to spend the money and save them.

This operation may be started on top most priority failing which the death rate may mount to hundreds a day.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
