Dear housing societies - if somebody in your area is tested positive & home- quarantined (because they are asymptomatic or due to shortage of beds in hospitals), please step up and make a rotation system to deliver meals to the patient& #39;s home because they can& #39;t & shouldn& #39;t cook.

Please bring more awareness and scientific temperament about how it spreads (through direct or fomite transmission). It can& #39;t reach you if you just deliver meals at somebody& #39;s doorstep in disposable boxes, keeping safe distance.

By staying in panic and socially ostracizing the patient - you are putting EVERYONE at a higher risk because the patient is then forced to order food and essentials from outside. More people involved, more folks on the road & entering the premises, more chaos in the system.

Every housing society has a Covid Team now. Make systems that are empathetic, address the worst case scenarios, & aware of the science of transmission.

This has become a pandemic only because of ignorant ways of homo sapiens. Compassion is the biggest herd immunity we need.
