Students from a reputed school made a representation to oppose the conduct of offline exams to the Education Minister of Goa. In a parallel universe, government officials released a circular of opening of cinema halls at 50% capacity, without attracting any opposition.
The delegation that met the CM and posed for a photo brazenly weren't wearing masks displaying first hand instance of callous behavior towards Covid-19.
These are the same people who would not hesitate working out in the gym, visiting markets (crowded), and now watch movies in the theatre halls but recoil when authority decides to conduct an offline exam.
The situation is as if the virus has decided to infect everyone when students join school. The Covid-19 protocol is in place and if students behave wisely, threat can be lowered.
This virus is here to stay as an endemic disease, this is the only plausible endgame. The suggestions must come towards safe starting of school/colleges, not against it.
