    Why are these Ministers targeting small children and keeping schools open only they know better.Its hardly 2 months remaining for the academic year to close.Why can't these just continue with online classes for primary students atleast.Keeping school closed for jus 5 days or for a week does not serve any purpose.They are all waiting for children to get infected coz our Education Minister and Health Minister feels it's OK for children to get infected!

    Luckily Zydus cadilla nasal spray vaccine not started otherwise it would have started another strain and more schools would have closed ? Authorities do not conduct mass pilot tests in a city or two and when new strain comes out after vaccination they dont blame vaccine but consider it as mutated new strain ? Delta strain looks like from vaccine only.

    Seasonal cold virus infection turned into an epidemic or pandemic. Hope this mania by mafia ends soon as hospitals aren't overwhelmed this time and with endemic phase we are in let us take care of our health ourselves without any interference by any politicians and pharmaceutical lobby controlled government babus.

    If the situation will be like this, then what's the fun in opening the schools in a hurry???. Our Health minister cum Astrologer Dr Sudhaker has already predicted that virus will increase in February. And our education minister is already announced the date of reopening the schools. I think there is no coordination among ministers. I have not seen such a poor and careless Government who are playing with the students.

    Sir, once in two days few schools administration is closing. If one student is affected means, closing the full school. This will disturb the continuous learning.
