COVID-19 doesn’t kill, Ignorance kills !

-Rashmi Mulmi

“COVID-19 is nothing; it’s just a flu-like virus, why to be intimidated by this simple virus?”:“We Nepali are immune to this type of flu-like virus.”: “The death rate due to COVID-19is very lowin Nepal.”: “There are other reasons for death as well, why to fear of death due to COVID-19.” “I am young; I am safe from this virus.”: “This is the season of festivals, how can we celebrate alone? Let’s gather! ”: These are a few examples of opinion on COVID-19 of the public in our community which reflect our ignorant behavior on the disease. In the current situation, this ignorant behavior and non-compliance to the preventive measures have become an important fact or for the increasing trend of COVID-19 and death related to it.
