We can only win battle against pandemic if we are in it together. There must be solidarity.

| One of the saddest things about Covid-19, and perhaps this is why the pandemic is so torturous for most of us, is that it separates us from one another.

But the problem soon became clear, there is a thin line between avoiding the virus and alienating the host. From birth, we experience the world through our five senses, including touch. A mother carrying her baby, a husband hugging his wife, we hold hands, shake hands, fist bump, high-five, we kiss; we have come to know the world in all its richness not least through haptic perception.

The problem I observe is, many government supporters portray support for the government as being less partisan than support for the opposition. In other words, supporting the government and its stances is not being political but supporting the opposition is. This is wrong. It works both ways. MPs have requested for a more functional Parliament, including, considering the situation now when the government is mulling the reopening of the economy, a longer Parliament sitting than the originally planned one-day session.

The authority should not take advantage of the situation, for example, to employ surveillance on the people. The fact is, the health and safety of one person depend on the health and safety of everyone. And we can expand this equation to all countries. The federal government has put forward a District Risk Reduction Programme which will require all residents in a district to work together to protect their family, their community and their district.
