Panaji: Within a fortnight the COVID19 cases came down from 500 per day to just 150 plus.
Taking advantage of the situation the State governmwnt has allowed casino operations and given provisional permission for the EDM festival Sunburn.
While many State in the country are facing the second wave of the deadly virus which is more lethal, Goa has decided to Unlock almost everything.
The mistake committed in May, when Goa declared itself Green Zone in a hurry, are we repeating the mistake?
The State has already seen that it cannot handle more that 3000 to 4000 patients in hospitals and COVID Care Centres.
Another glaring issue is in the last one month the testing is gone down by at least 40 percent, which is one of the major reasons for slump in cases. But the fact remain the mortalities are still at same rate
So was the testing deliberately slowed down to create a positive atmosphere so these things can be permitted.
Frankly, starting casinos, Sunburn is a recipe for disaster.
While opening of casinos is debatable as jobs are involved, why invite trouble with Sunburn? Who is going jobless if Sunburn does not take place?
Tourism Minister Babu Azgaonkar’s statement that hotels will get business is like adding insult to injury to Goans.
While as if all this is not enough, Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant says he is holding talks with stakeholders for restarting of schools.
Ahhh… finally where are we heading, have we lost our senses? You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to understand that maintaing social distancing in school campuses is just impossible.
The Goans will definitely need divine blessings from the almigty to survive these foolishness of the government.
