2020 Pandemic -2

Today the governments quarantined Delhi and many other states. A complete shutdown of metro services and railways. I think autos and cabs also.

Our office also closed operations. At least we no longer have to risk travel in this situation. Till yesterday that was a fear and one wondered about alternates like partial work from home and leaves.  Now all private industries are closed. But suddenly this also increases the fear even more. 
At 5pm, so many people gathered to make noise, ring bells and thalis.Clap together. It showed such solidarity. 

Then I got to know that my parents society is locked down. No maids, no staff. And noone can enter or leave. We can't help or meet indefinitely. It's not as if we were going out  or meeting right now, we were all isolated, but now we can't.
Suddenly it becomes more real. More confining. What all will this self confine teach us ahead? 

We watched Khataron ke Khiladi which was kind of soothing to see what all people cab endure. Gruesome and weird stuff. So methodically they do it. Some fail but are also unharmed. This reality too shall pass. 

Can we use the time turner here? Can it also fast forward?
