Covid has bought Goa to its knees with untold misery unfolding every day with authorities, doctors still unable to stem the number of deaths.
The fallout is having a ripple effect from top to right down the lower rung of society which has borne the brunt of the negative effects of lockdowns and curfews.
The unorganised sector of job losses will have a negative effect on the GDP growth. Industrial and manufacturing growth is likely to get hit, bringing the economy in a downward spiral. Farmers unrest is still not showing any signs of abating.
All round sentiments are rock bottom and will continue this way until the pandemic disappears.
Many breadwinners in families have been lost due to this pandemic. People’s lives have been shattered causing untold misery in homes, villages, cities which will never be the same again.
Money matters for some, who will spare no effort chasing whatever and whichever way possible.

Such people should refrain from extracting and reaping profits from the sick and dying.
