In wake of shutdown, who will help them?

| The coronavirus is deadly in its effect especially on the most vulnerable members of society.

There are many orphanages and old folks’ homes in the country. They are run by charities. Many of these homes are run by churches. These charities are funded by donations from well-wishers. This crisis will affect their funding. Who will look after them? Only those with high incomes and savings can stock up food. Those on daily wages or little income need to work in order to buy food and essentials. If they cannot work, they have no income and without income they cannot buy food and other essentials. Who will help them?

The restricted entry in and out of the country and similar restrictions imposed by many countries will affect many businesses including airlines, tour companies, cruise-ship owners, hotels and all those businesses depending on travellers and tourists. These are businesses required by us when the lockdown is lifted and the virus is defeated.

Those manufacturing goods required for the domestic and export markets will have to continue manufacturing and exporting them in order to ensure that their buyers do not look for alternative sources for these goods. China built many new hospitals in record time to cope with the surge of patients afflicted by the virus. America is considering mobilising the military to set up tent hospitals. What is our situation? What is our capacity?
