how corona virus pandemic could effect your daily life as a sikh?

[genie]

For a start I think gurdwara's will be empty for a while and weddings may have to be called off.

Funerals will however will have to go on.

not really stop me from going to programs but it will affect me in terms of keeping family and clients healthy . I think it could be a positive thing for our gurdwarey as youth are not doing sewa as much and this will make a vaccum into which they could step and lead sewa and sambal efforts in gurughars up and down the country

yesterday and the day b4   when I was in a train and got up to exit the train at the station   once the green light went on to open the door   the gora standing there didnt press the button to open the door even though he was closer   he waited for me to press the button.   Yesterday same thing happened with me and a gori    she waited for me to press it    A bit selfish

Looks like my concerns/predictions few weeks ago are sadly coming true.

It seems highly suspiciously like a cia/mossad operation to hit chinese economy hard and prevent it from over taking the USA/west and hit iran hard too.

From footage of corona virus victim cases of wuhan china i've seen on youtube. It does look like a very deadly serious illness. That literally makes people drop dead by preventing them breathing properly after flooding the lungs with fluid.

All I can say is just be careful with public transport and in the public stay away from anyone with signs of a cold. Wash hands properly after touching public surfaces as the virus is mostly caught via the hands.

If sikhs havent been taking this seriously they need to do so right now in the west and in india.

If you have relatives tell them to stay away from crowds, dont hang around in gurdwara if its still open and especially with with crowds. The gurdwara commitee's that are open are irresponsible and are risking the deaths and short term and long term health of the sangat they only care about money.

Wash your hands regularly, keep elderly/vulnerable at home isolated, use face coverings and wear gloves to prepare food until the situation has got better.

Gurdwara's need to start getting prepared for large number of deaths if situation gets out of hand.

There's a few cases of this happening in punjab now. This virus has potential to spread very fast and overwhelm the very sparse and poor hospital facilities in that state and country. people sending jokey videos from whatsapp there last week they wont be doing that if this virus has establishes itself, god forbid.

yh its really upsetting, lots of the London Smaagams cancelled too. At least Basics of Sikhi are doing daily live videos which is great.
