By the time this piece of article reaches you, Auckland will be at Level 1 of Covid alert restrictions but there are many health experts, who are sceptical about the moving to Level-1 so fast. They are warning Aucklanders of not being caught napping and not to fall again to slumber about the deadly and unpredictable virus. From Thursday 8th October, Auckland joins the rest of the country with no restrictions of social distancing, no mandatory mask at public places or no restrictions on gatherings for number of people.

Looking at the worldwide track record of this pandemic of past almost one year now, it has been the most unpredictable and contagious viruses to date. No one would have any idea where you can catch it from. It can be by touching the button of a lift or a shopping mall trolly or even from touching the dustbin top. Anyone who does the mistake of being careless about these facts is prone to catch the virus for sure. This is the reason government is warning people that restrictions may have been lifted but please do not become careless about the precautions which are necessary for your own wellbeing. So, it is strongly recommended to continue wearing masks at public places, transports, and gatherings for some more time until at least a effective good vaccine is found for it. Experts are of the view that government should make wearing mask mandatory on public transports or public gatherings at least for a short term, even at Level 1. Lifting the restriction on number of people in gatherings is another issue health expert are worried about. They are of the view to have a capping on these numbers at least for few more weeks. It is always better to be on safe side then regretting later.

On the other hand, the controversies about this virus do not cease to end. People are protesting world over against government’ long time restrictions as it is affecting lives of millions. People are now desperate to come out in open and to lead a normal life like they were before the pandemic struck. Now a large group of German doctors have come out with a shocking revelation about Corona claiming it’s a big scam and a swindle. They are warning people that its high time we understand that we are in midst of a global crime. This group of doctors called ‘Doctors for Information’ claim that a massive misinformation campaign is being run through the mainstream media who are blissfully ignorant about the facts.US President Donald Trump has been saying it from the start of this pandemic that it has been created and spread world over by China. In fact, he calls it a China virus. Various medical groups of doctors in European countries are echoing the similar sentiments about this pandemic that it has been created due to political reasons by a couple of countries including China. They support their claim with the data’s from World Integrated Trade Solutions that it was planned 2-3 years back and that is why two years before in 2017-2018, even Corona pandemic struck hundreds of million of test kits for Covid-19 were distributed worldwide. Whatever the truth may be behind all the controversies, if at all it comes out to be true then it would be most heinous crime in the human history.

No one can deny the fact that a small unseen virus has done immeasurable damage to the world. It has left some permanent scars in the psyche of a common man world over. With over 35 million infected cases and over a million deaths worldwide its time now to make a start to know the truth behind the conspiracy and it appears like some countries have made a start know the truth to bring the world back to normality.
