Stating it worthwhile post to share, facebook friend, TD Garg has posted the portions the address of Ugandan President Kaguta Museveni to nation advising his people for a successful war against the invisible enemy called COVID-19. Garg feels that the essence of Museveni's address is relevant in India too.
According Museveni, the world is currently in a state of war but without guns and bullets against an invisible, fleet-footed, and ruthless enemy who has no respect for human life. The enemy is indiscriminate - it has no respect for children, women, places of worship, etc.
He adds in his address, "Its (invisible enemy’s) only agenda is a harvest of death. It is only satiated after turning the world into one big death field. Its capacity to achieve its aim is not in doubt. Without ground, amphibious and aerial machines, it has bases in almost every country of the world. Its movement is not governed by any war convention or protocol. In short, it is a law unto itself. It is Coronavirus. Also, known as COVID-19."
"Thankfully, this (invisible enemy) army has a weakness and it can be defeated. It only requires our collective action, discipline and forbearance. COVID-19 cannot survive social and physical distancing. It only thrives when you confront it. It loves to be confronted. It capitulates in the face of collective social and physical distancing. It bows before good personal hygiene. It is helpless when you take your destiny in your own hands by keeping them sanitized as often as possible...Let's obey and follow the instructions of the authorities. Let's flatten the COVID-19 curve. Let's exercise patience. Let's be our brothers' keeper. In no time, we shall regain our freedom, enterprise and socializing," he said while explaining the strategy for counter- attack to win the war.
He concluded by saying, "In the midst of emergency, we practice urgency of service and the urgency of love for others. God bless us all!"
He made the the following points in his address:
-In a war situation, nobody asks anyone to stay indoors. You stay indoors by choice. In fact, if you have a basement, you hide there for as long as hostilities persist
-During a war, you don't insist on your (usual) freedom. You willingly give it up in exchange for survival.
-During a war, ...You bear hunger (by living frugal) and pray that you live to eat (well) again
-During a war, you don't argue about opening your business. You close your shop ... and run for your life. You pray (wait with patience) to outlive the war so that you can return to your business.
-During a war, you are thankful to God for seeing another day in the land of the living.
-During a war, you don't worry about your children not going to school.
