Imagine! Pandemic cost


Imagine we had been warned on time when this pandemic first emerged. While the country of origin prevented people from boarding and arriving. We won’t be where we are.


Imagine if airport and cruise ships have been more forth coming than business as usual, boarding and disembarking as they please, many people wouldn’t have died on cruise ship, let alone carrying it with them.


Imagine if the various port have been sealed off on time and hard quarantine introduced from the onset-for travelers, medics employed to manage port of entry and assist those in quarantine, a lot more could have been foreseen but were not.


Imagine if China had been cutoff like Liberia and other West African states way back then-epicenter of Ebola, just to save life’s of those who today are part of a statistics. Forget prejudice but basic fact of life. For every Life matters too.


Imagine till there is nothing more to think about. But as we sit in various lockdown-hard or soft, quarantine, distance, sanitize, hear it to save life. Don’t forget, the king of Pop once wore a mask. 2020 could just be an imagination, yet real. Never dreamt of it like this, reality is, just do your best.
