On May 29 , the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has submitted in the Supreme Court that it is ultimately the doctors' and healthcare workers' own responsibility to protect themselves from COVID-19. They need to protect themselves from exposure to infections by training themselves and taking all precautions to prevent infection.

The statement was made while replying to a plea questioning the Centre's new guidelines for frontline COVID-19 healthcare workers by which it has ended the 14-day mandatory quarantine for them. The full statement made is as below :

"While the Hospital Infection Control Committee in the health facility is responsible for implementing the Infection Prevention and Control activities, but the final responsibility lies with healthcare workers. It is their responsibility to train themselves and take all measures in preventing the infection."

The head of the same government exhorted the whole country a few days back to assemble at their balconies at the appointed time and clap or bang utensils in support of the doctors. And an overwhelming number of morons did so . Not only that, they even bad-mouthed those who saw through the idiocy and refused to do so. 

To those people who clapped, banged utensils, fired crackers, observed blackouts , lit candles and diyas , I have some simple questions - Aren't you feeling ashamed ? Have you mortgaged your senses ? Did you sell your soul ? Can't you stand up for once and protest ? Don't you see where we are heading ?

I know you will all stay silent , until they come for you.
