I am from Nepal, the neighborhood country of China. Every day, I hear news of places being locked down, schools and universities being closed, people panicking all over the world. But, then I see my country, masks and temperature checking in the airport are the only precautions people are taking here. Other than that, everyday they are going to gatherings like marriages, meeting friends and relatives, going to their works as always. None of the schools and colleges have been closed.

A few days ago, the government released a notice saying that, the schools and colleges are required to complete their final exams within 18th of March and then they should remain closed, as if there is no threat of corona virus before 18th March. And then here comes our university, who gives no damn about government’s notice and the exact next day after the release of the government’s notice, our university released a notice saying that our final exams, which were going to be held soon is not going to postponed due to corona virus.

I am sick of the way people are taking corona virus too lightly here. Instead, they are making fun of it. Every day in my college, I see my friends and teachers cracking jokes on corona virus. If corona virus comes to our country, majority of the people here are going to be infected cause we don’t have that high technology to deal with it. All we have are temperature measuring guns.
