Why divorce should be easy!

Couples come together for a common purpose. They bear children and start parenting them. But at times, they may grow apart and not want to remain a couple. They may want to separate. But society and law often prevents this separation. Because they feel that children might get affected due to the separation. Hence, law has made divorce difficult and asks couples the reason for the separation. They need to show some fault in the partner in order to get legal separation. But this only opens another Pandora's box in which false accusations and blame game begins. This is unhealthy and stressful not only for the couple but also for their children. Divorce of their parents does affect children. It can lead to stress and academic struggles in them. They might suffer severe mental stress and demonstrate behaviour changes in them. They may have anxiety, depression, feeling of guilt and shame and sadness. This may affect them in school and their social circle. They could become an object of r...

UK will not impose travel demand of immunity passports for its tourist entrants!

-

There are discussions about mandatory COVID-19 immunity passports for travel to some countries. But this concept is itself non-scientific and unethical. The UK and Canada have their own reservations about making such immunity certificates compulsory for travel. Hence they are not for it and have made their points clear to the world on it. The UK has stated that it will not make it a requirement for travel to its nation but it will issue such certificates to its citizens in case they need it for travel to other countries which demand it. 

The UK and its take on immunity passports 

Great Britain is not for the requirement of immunity passports during this COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, it has made its stand clear on this issue at the time when many EU countries are talking about making it mandatory for travel to their nations. UK’s vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawisaid that it will provide with such vaccine certificates to its own citizens but will not put it up as criteria for travel to the UK. Nadhim told BBC: 

“Internationally, if other countries will require a vaccine certificate, then I think it’s right that we facilitate it,” 

“We’re not looking at the domestic use of vaccine passports, that’s not in our planning. As the prime minister described, it’ll be the national vaccination programme combined with rapid testing that I think is the way forward.” 

Experts and their views on such passports 

Experts from the medical field as well as rights groups people have warned against such mandatory travel passes. They have specified that though they would facilitate movements, they are not 100% foolproof against spread of the deadly virus. Additionally, they have the ingrained problem of privacy invasion that is a significant issue.

WHO is also against such passports. It has clarified that issuing of a vaccine certificate does not guarantee that a person who is vaccinated is safe for the community. Firstly, immunity after the second dose of the vaccine is 95%. This implies that 5% people have the vaccination but are not immune to the virus. Also, even when antibodies develop in an individual, it does not imply that he is protected against the virus. These can still get re-infected with or without symptoms. Thus they can be a risk for themselves and also the community. 

Lawmakers and their say 

UK’s lawmakers want to end the lockdown at the earliest. They want no more rules after 1 May 2021. This could be possible if the vulnerable groups get their vaccine shots. Lawmaker Steve Baker said: 

“We’re all filled with sorrow for the people we’ve lost, the harms that we’ve suffered but we don’t honor those we’ve loved and lost by wrecking the rest of our lives,” 

“We’ve got to find a way to rebuild our society and our economy and our prospects, our livelihoods.” 

Boris Johnson stated that its government is not looking for such passports to enter pubs and bars. Instead it is looking for mass vaccination and rapid testing as the way out of this infectious crisis.

Loneliness is a growing epidemic especially during this coronavirus pandemic in the USA!

  The coronavirus pandemic has increased social segregation and this has proven to be bad particularly for the elderly population. They are unable to catch up with their children and grandchildren and are finding themselves extremely lonely. They are the worst affected by the pandemic in terms of physical as well as emotional health. THE OLD AGE AND LONELINESS Old age is a time of loneliness for many people. Usually, people have lost their partners at that ripe age and depend on their children and grandchildren for support and to beat the loneliness. Though their younger family members used to occasionally visit the parents, now with the coronavirus pandemic this has become difficult due to the risk of the children carrying the infection to their aged parents and grandparents. So the visits have come down drastically and the contact remains only on phone or via digital technology. This though good does not suffice and cannot substitute the physical visits and the warmth that th...
