Scott Kelly, a retired NASA astronaut, who spent nearly a year on the international space station, wrote while sharing tips on isolation in The New York Times on Saturday, "Seen from space, the Earth has no borders. The spread of the Coronavirus is showing us that what we share is much more powerful than what keeps us apart, for better or for worse. All people are inescapably interconnected, and the more we can come together to solve our problems, the better off we will all be. I've seen humans work together to prevail over some of the toughest challenges imaginable, and I know we can prevail over this one if we all do our part and work together as a team."

It seems we, in India, did not do our part when demanded the most. Sadly, some aren't doing their part even when the pandemic has knocked on their doors. We did not move as quickly and delayed working as a team in the initial stages of the spread that now threatens to peak beyond one's imagination.
