Flip Side of Coronovirus Pandemic

Flip Side of Coronovirus Pandemic

There are lot of positive signs for Ceylonese barring the difficulties for the people who are on hand to mouth existence.

They call the private and public transport, the Eda-Wela Tours.

This applies to Three Wheeler drivers who resist using a meter for the miles traveled before charging.

Most of these three wheeler drivers are government’s spoke-persons on wheels.

They haven’t got anything substantial for ages but do work as slaves to the government machinery in faith but not in conviction.

1. Number one point is no election round the corner.

What a saving?

2. There are currently no parliamentary members or provincial council members causing huge sum to be saved by the treasury.

What a saving?

3. Health ministry can perform admirably to take a lead without ministers and state ministers looking over their shoulders.

If a elected government was in power with so many meetings in every street corner of the country the virus that is in the coastal belt now would have come to the center of the country.

We are relatively free in the center of the country including Kandy since the railways are not running.

Railways would have carried the virus to the Estate Sector where our vital Tea Economy rests.

4. We do not have to listen to the warped politics of Vasu, Dinesh, Bandula and Werawansa for a considerable length of time.

5. I think five ministers in total including Prime Minister is enough to run the country in peace time and war time (Coronavirus).

6. The Coronovirus has shown that though, it is small in nanometers but very powerful in impact.

7. A small government could be more efficient (does not mean a military dictatorship is the alternative. Our military is huge and expensive to run in peace time and using them to packet dry ration is damning. I have no grouse they are helping -directing rather than slaves- the police for proper distribution without pilfering).

8. I think total shutdown of the parliament until the virus spread is under full control is mandatory (saving made by shutdown should be delivered to the health care sector).
The parliamentary members may become a vehicle of spread in no time.

It has happened in Senate and Congress (members) in USA.

9. Of course The election Commissioner and his panel can go into sleep gear for some time.

10. Shutting down TV (they have only Coronavirus news) and leaving the Radio Stations to function is more meaningful (in all three languages).

11. Last but not least canceling the New Year Celebrations would damp down the spread of the virus.
It is the Chinese New Year craze that made it become a pandemic from a tiny epidemic.
