I'd like to talk about a good decision I made recently. The corona pandemic has slowed down life considerably. In fact, during the first few days after the lockdown was announced, everyone took it very seriously. However, lately, people have become a lot more complacent. As a family, for the past few months, we avoided going out unless it was absolutely necessary. We were also shopping online instead of visiting stores. However, last week my father decided that we would visit the wholesale store Fair Price to buy groceries. We believed that it would be fine if we took precautions like wearing a mask and using sanitizer every 15-20 minutes. But I was getting a very bad feeling about it. I thought the cases were increasing sharply and it was not the right time to step out. We could order all those items online, although for a slightly higher price. So I convinced my dad that it was not the right time. I told him that we might save a few rupees, but it was not worth putting our lives at risk. My mother also supported me, and so my dad relented. We made a list of all the things we wanted to buy and ordered them online. A few days later, we heard that many people had become infected after visiting Fair Price. It was being labeled a super spreader event by the news media. When we saw the news, we breathed a sigh of relief. My father told me that I made a wise decision. After the event, we have become even more cautious. I do believe that life must go on, but life is precious, especially now as the cases are increasing.
