How Do Hospitals Prepare for Empty Beds Pandemic?

By Muzamil Shahbaz
As the no. of coronavirus cases across the country rises, the number of beds available in hospitals dramatically falls. With an already dysfunctional healthcare system, Pakistan prepares for the worst as coronavirus peak seems imminent. At more than 96,000 cases confirmed so far, the number of total cases has already far exceeded China’s – the epicenter of the outbreak. There are already reports of some private hospitals turning away new coronavirus patients due to a shortage of beds. Government officials have repeatedly claimed that the situation is “under control”. However, top health officials across the country and beyond believe that the current health system simply lacks the infrastructure to handle the coming influx of patients. At this stage, no province possesses either the hospital beds or the ventilators required to take care of the ever-increasing coronavirus patients. However, many believe that the worst is yet to come. Qaisar Sajjad, the Pakistan Medical Association’s sec...

کورونا وائرس: مستقبل میں سفر کیسا ہو گا؟

By Muzamil Shahbaz
شمس الدین گذشتہ 40 سالوں سے ٹور گائیڈ کی حیثیت سے کام کر رہے ہیں۔ ان برسوں میں انھوں نے آگرہ میں تقریبا 40 مشہور شخصیات کو تاج محل کی سیر کرائی ہے۔ ان میں سے ایک برطانوی شہزادی ڈیانا بھی ہیں جنھیں انھوں نے تاج محل کی سیر کروائی تھی۔ اب چونکہ ورلڈ ہیلتھ آرگنائزیشن نے واضح طور پر کہا ہے کہ ہمیں کچھ وقت کے لیے کورونا وائرس کے ساتھ ہی جینا پڑے گا ایسے میں شمس الدین کا خیال ہے کہ سیاحت کا کاروبار مکمل طور پر بدل جائے گا۔ ان کا کہنا ہے کہ لاک ڈاؤن میں نرمی کے بعد بھی مہینوں اور سالوں تک سیاحت کا انداز پہلے کی طرح نہیں رہے گا۔ اب گروپ کے بجائے لوگ تنہا یا جوڑیوں میں سیاحت کے لیے نکلیں گے۔ وہ کہتے ہیں: 'تصور کریں کہ آپ مستقبل میں تاج محل کے سامنے ماسک پہن کر اپنی تصویر کھنچوا رہے ہیں۔' بہت حد تک اس بات کا اندیشہ ہے کہ ماسک پہننے کا پروٹوکول تمام سیاحتی مقامات اور تاریخی مقامات پر نافذ کر دیا جائے۔ سماجی دوری پر عمل کرنا لازمی قرار دیا جائے جس کی وجہ سے سیاحتی مقامات پر لوگ کم تعداد میں پہنچیں گے۔ ہوائی سفر ہوائی سفر کے ماہر اشونی پھدنیس کا کہنا ہے کہ انٹرنیشنل ایئر ٹرانسپورٹ ایسوسی ایش...

Short Courses Institutions Should Be Banned In the Lockdown

By Muzamil Shahbaz
The Coronavirus has discarded all the academic activities for the students as well as for the educational institutions. Before the lockdown, students were busy in gaining knowledge in different institutions, like schools, universities, colleges, and training institutions. Well, I am not against these institutions, but on the other side, private training institutions are running their business by charging high fees from students but not giving the knowledge they want. This mafia brainwashes the students and asks them to go against the universities and colleges, which is unethical. The universities and colleges are very important for every person because they help the students groom physically, spiritually, and mentally. There is no comparison with the private training institutions mafia. On the other hand, private training mafia-like PNY Group of Companies, NexSkill, ZAFF Institute, EVS Institute , etc are playing with students' lives.  Okay, I don't talk about what he...
