Covid 19 Quotes

“During the early stages of the Covid-19 lockdown, prominent newspaper columnists defended their right to have someone clean their homes, even at significant risk to their health, on dubiously feminist grounds. Their argument was that without outsourcing domestic work it would be women who had to do the bulk of it. We might wonder if their cleaners were not also women. When the journalist Owen Jones criticised the cavalier attitude that employers of cleaners were taking to workplace safety, he was accused of sexism. His accusers claimed to be fighting the idea that women have some natural duty or propensity to cleaning but the upshot of their argument was that it is fine for some other – i.e. poorer, usually migrant – women to pick up after them. Escaping the confines of the domestic feminine was their individual prerogative, not a shared horizon for all women.”

“It is wholly justified to label vaccine passports as draconian, coercive, and one of the most dangerous government interventions in human history; an intervention that undermined voluntary consent to medical procedures and threatened the core principles of what it means to be an autonomous human being.”

“Zindagi ki train per sawaar, hawa k woh zor se jhonkon se urne wali zulfon ne kuch rukh badalti hue raston ki yaad dilaye; asman to aik he tha lekin badalte hue rung aur yadain. Woh radio per lgi hui dhun aur train k chalne ki awaz kuch mukhtalif theen lekin unka aik sa he taluq mehsos hua. Kahan zindagi ruk si gyee thi; tham sa gya tha karwan; thehar se gye the kam;chalti rhi hawa; khilte rahe phool. Ehsas hua k zindagi to mukhtasir he rahi hamesha; farq itna hai k masroofiat ne kabhi yeh mehsoos krne ka waqt he nahi dya. Kya waqt ka paheya yun ghooma k dunya ruk si gyi aur zameen-o-asmaan ne sans lena shuru kardya jo shayad kaheen ruk sa gya tha. Kaheen woh taluq aur rabta thehar sa gya; woh zindagi ki tez raftar kaheen halki hote hue mehsoos hone lgi; kuch muktalif sa lgne lga waqt shayad kaheen woh tez hawa jo andhi k manind thi woh ub tham si gyi thi. zindagi ne naya rukh le lya; aur insan heraan hogye.”

“We have a chance to do something extraordinary. As we head out of this pandemic we can change the world. Create a world of love. A world where we are kind to each other. A world were we are kind no matter what class, race, sexual orientation, what religion or lack of or what job we have. A world we don't judge those at the food bank because that may be us if things were just slightly different. Let love and kindness be our roadmap.”

“In the ER, a voice asked, "Do you know where you are?" I only knew I was trapped inside a great pandemonium. A horrific brightness. Even these days I am, at times, surprised to find myself unsure of my whereabouts. For example, I thought that I was pretty well acquainted with the world I lived in, but then the pandemic happened and that world transformed into something else.”
