We all have to take this more serious. We have to take precautions more serious. It’s a matter of life and death. So we have to take care of ourselves and also have to think about others too.

Mortality rates cannot be relied upon. If the tests are not increasing then how will the truth be known. Pakistanis should spend this time very carefully. The federal and provincial government have to make rational, not emotional, decisions. Also
requested to public to keep themselves as separate from others as possible
May allah bless us.Aameen
