Every slum boy is not a millionaire

i know in this complex world we live, development-logists  do not like to hear or talk of Slums and under-privilege communities . I think that is because the term development and poverty is as old as democracy. i cannot just stick this terms SLUMS and under Privilege communities to south Asia and try to discuss the matters pertaining to the current COVID -19, new Corona issue, i thought listening to local news with regard to maintaining and handling the Corona affected humans in the country.  

when it comes to human habitats SLUMS or under privilege human habitat is not a development term that had disappeared totally from the development agendas or plans of the world map due to various socio-economic and political and cultural reasons across world. according to what i believe the terms or slums cannot be totally erased from the south Asian or any other communities of the world due to highly increasing population, personal perceptions and attitudes of both citizens and administration communities. Total size of the plot of the slums i guess is decreasing compared with the number of population increasing. 

Though due to wars , social conflicts and attacks, health hazards such as corona, the total number of population may change and subject to change , what the good- health systems expect is to maintain good-health and life expectancy rate to its acceptable standards. sudden attacks such as corona lead most the humans to re think of re-organizing, planing  and designing the habitats for slums and under privilege community people, or the importance of giving them breathable space to live.  

We talk of the distance that should be kept between humans due to Corona, but unfortunately many number of families or members live in a single house. Therefore we can assume one of the reasons to increase the number of affected person can be the reason mentioned above. 

Therefore in the future, the world-health development experts and habitat development experts will have to think of considering above reasons and facts, when planing programs to cater the relevant needs of humans. But there are plenty of challenges ahead the responsible officials due to various reasons , one of the reasons for the matter is 'decreasing or shrinking land. most the land available were already used for the development reasons, to build high ways, housing or commercial complexes and some of the land we lost due due to other natural reasons such as soil erosion, floods, Earh-quakes  etc. 

we do not have much resources left.  Designing health and development programs should be done accordingly. We need to think of how we should use the resources and human time available for the betterment of the humans. we have no time to quarrel with each other, we need to re plan and re schedule the programs with regard to health and development of the humans. 

we all must inject following perceptions into human blood veins.

Let's minimize human error  in every single work we do, 

support every human who were either affected from health or any other social conflict (including the persons affected from April 21st issue occurred in the year 2019, mentally and economically to improve their lives. 

Sabbe Satta Bhawanthu Sukhee tatta!

May all beings be healthy 

CORONA IS ONE OF THE DIFFERENT BATTLES

Some wars or battles of the world we experienced were Pre-planned though some of the battles or wars were not. king Dutugemunu was one of the kings ruled our country in the early centuries. One of the strategies that he applied before involving in the battles against tyrants were that he first asked his people to cultivate each and every land and STORE PADDY AND OTHER GRAINS and maintain their physical health and confidence. i believe that storing food is was one of the best intelligent strategies that can be applied to face current issue or any other issues. 

Hunger is an enemy that kills moral and physical and mental health of any creature. Time period of any war is unpredictable therefore in order to face any virus or otherwise wars we must always try to store sufficient quantities of food items ready. 

You know better than me that the Socio-economic and cultural situations of the African region. You know the poverty situation, the level of coping affordability abilities and  Health and nutrition  levels and status of the region. In order to protect , save the other regions from COVID  i believe before it reaches the other regions, each and every country and community must first store sufficient quantities of food in their stores and ask them to consume them without wasting them. Because i believe that both physical and mental health is important when it comes to fighting against the virus. is that enough?

No.

We need to store enough medicines medical equipment, staff to cater the need.  

i was a little sad to hear the experts predict about the number of person that will be affecting from the Covid in the mentioned regions. i think now that we know the number, the world can plan and apply strategies to combat Covid efficiently by establishing or implementing them. Especially when they deal with other humans or otherwise creatures they must follow human friendly methods  to avoid corona entering their homes and villages or communities areas etc. petting the pets the children own is not advisable these days though  it is a little sad to disappoint them. 

if the households maintain or apply food storing methods the families who live in the huge housing complexes can easily avoid going here and there of the towns to collect the food item using the  passenger elevators for instance. 

it is important that the humans maintain their moral mental health in a healthy manner to fight against corona. if you find any persons mentally collapsed or disturbed they have the less abilities to fight against the corona or any other diseases that may kill their health. Due to above reason, i very specifically wish to thank the relevant organization for organizing a musical event to raise and maintain the confident levels of the humans across the world and the footpath wish to thank lady Gaga and every other artists of every region who supported the event. i also would like to send my gratitude and respect for each and every human who believing both mental and physical health of a human is important  to fight against any health otherwise hazard or obstacle.

WISH YOU ALL ENOUGH OF STRENGTH !  

The Poor community and the COVID 19

How corona affected the poverty situations of the world, is another question to be addressed and analyzed as immediately as possible or soon after the issue is totally solved. It is not just a responsibility of a local department or a ministry it is a duty and a responsibility of any world organization/s.

Compared with the other disasters natural and man-made or man-created hazards, issues(wars, terror attacks) faced now and then, the corona is different and it attacked killed human resources or disabled wounded spines of families, even for a shorter period of time until they recover from the issue.

Everything (social or financial network’s) that were directly or indirectly attached to the human resources died either fully or partially collapsed and rehabilitation or repairing will not be easy, or they might need support of another mechanism, I believe.

Every person who died due to Covid 19 had a specific role to play and the roles or the positions played or shouldered by those individuals are now vacant. How many person trained to do those specific jobs, specific roles and to full fill responsibilities, or trained to cater the needs of health of every human for instance have we lost by now?

Can those be easily replaced?

To become an expert or knowledgeable no easy, it takes time and even to gather experiences it takes time. To gain professional experience it takes time. The world lost a loads of experienced human resources due to the issue. I do not know whether the world will be able to recover.

If you analyze the values of the demands and nature of the human resources we lost due to Covid 19, it will be a little easy to understand the current poverty level or poverty situation of the world. But as we all very well know it is extremely difficult to provide a whole picture of the situation in numbers or in figures. To understand the entire poverty situation of the world must think of every facet of poverty. Situation should be analyzed in both quantitatively as well as qualitatively.

Loss of a person directly or directly affects mental health of a family. If you find a person/persons died due to corona or any other reasons, it will affect the mental health of other members of a family.

Further………..

Corona destroyed so much energy and time, manpower and money that could be allocated or distributed amongst the poor people or for the development of poor of the world.

Since about three months, some towns across world were totally closed and were not open for any trade or commercial dealings, activities. The money that the poor earned from selling the things that they have cultivated, manufactured in house, is barred or stopped. As we all know the ‘percentage of non-poor (rich) is very small. Most the humans belonged to either middle income families or poor or lower income families. They are the most affected families or the persons, I believe.

During a crisis situation like this, it is not easy to distribute the available resources evenly amongst the poor. But protecting lives of humans though they have to face other difficulties is important. And to help them maintain their mental health too is very important, needless to say. In order to raise or maintain level of confidence, mental health responsible or members of each family must provide moral support.

Understanding the current situation can be done by reading and analyzing ‘pre and post corona situation across world. And then re planning, implementing and monitoring the programs to be established should be done methodically, using the resources, human and otherwise, available.  

Moreover……….I can state that a death of a bread winner of a family is no joke and we know how it will affect a poor family. The family will lose all the income gained as well as the mental or spiritual support gained through the person died due to corona.

Post corona-trauma situations should be dealt so humanly and delicately, I believe.  The world can design mental health support programs  to cater the need of the needy.

Wish you all quick recovery and peace of mind!
