Vivid-19 (COVID-19)


To whom it may concern

I have been debating on if I should I write this down or not. As this battle of pandemic subsides over the time and the number death almost forgotten over the years, however, one of the most vivid memories of Covid-19 would be the stocking up challenge. When one side of the society is working tirelessly (even sacrificing their own life) to fight this global battle of dire pandemic, sadly but visibly there are also some who is only concerned about stocking up. I am not putting forefront my judgement of you being cruel but I couldn’t stop myself of asking if someone can be so selfish. May be I am. Are you going to let someone starve with the food that you stocked up in your home? Are you going to save your family while letting others die? “ I have never felt this poor in my whole life” was what my friend told me the other day in our conversation. But I told her “we wouldn’t have stocked up even if we were rich, because you think of others”. All I could comment was “I can’t stop looking at rice bags behind the scene 😂😂” in a TikTok video where a group of people were making dumplings. My friend and I live on our weekly or monthly pay check, but there are people who doesn’t even have reliable pay check. What do you think will happen to them? Are you going to let them starve, let them become homeless just because you have a greater buying power. Isn’t it time for sharing and caring? I think if you feel you are more privileged than others you should be helping those deserving of your privilege. I am not asking you to donate a sum or anything, just don’t stock up!!! Don’t take away the share of people who have less buying power than yours. It is their share! We may be able to fight pandemic not only through social distancing but also by not stocking up and not taking others share.

Thanking you
Yours sincerely
Vivid-19
