Despite Goa being a very tiny State the Government which has totally mishandled and mismanaged its approach in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be making no amends.
After repeated goof ups, the authorities should have ensured that those being given volunteer cards and involved in door delivery of food items were first all screened for the virus. In this very dicey situation we may lend from the frying pan into the fire. Every precaution must be taken in such tumultuous times. Every person involved in any relief work must be screened as otherwise it would be a recipe for further disaster. One also fails to understand as to how the Father of all scams the Panaji Mayor Uday Madkaikar who has over the years been involved in a rainbow of scams from the Market to pay parking and not even sparing the garbage has been now entrusted yet another window of opportunity to make hay while this critical pandemic rages. What a shame! It is time Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and Health Minister Vishwajit Rane who have failed the State in this crucial battle should stop their worthless oscillating sound bytes at the Press conferences and instead get down to ground Zero to see the miserable plight of the people and the caregivers, who while risking their lives are caring for those infected and quarantined on account of this deadly and merciless virus. The common man is the paying a heavy price on account of this slumbering government having woken up so late.
