I Illustrate Possible Funny Situations That May Arise Once Human Activities Resume Post-Lockdown

With the lockdown being gradually lifted across the world, people are coming out in large numbers. Many offices/services have started functioning, eateries have reopened, and transportation modes have begun operation. Since the deadly virus is here to stay for a while, people are advised not to be caught off-guard. Continued use of masks, physical distancing, healthy food, and sanitisation are key to ensure safety.

This series tries to capture some unique, funny situations that may arise once human activities resume.

Sooner or later, schools will resume. Things similar to what's depicted here might happen. Teachers, beware!!!! And students, that's not cool at all.

With the mask on, simply smiling at someone doesn't help at all, because the recipient isn't even aware of what you just did. We need to deploy other gestures.

Since the deadly virus is here to stay for a while, continuing the use of mask is highly recommended. But this may have a dark side (which is actually lighter), especially if your job involves moving around a lot under the blazing sun!

Many activities have resumed already. Offices, shops, restaurants are slowly opening up. However, there are restrictions on large gatherings, be it social or religious. Not more than 50 guests are allowed for a wedding ceremony.

Private vehicles are moving around freely once again. The usual traffic, unnecessary honking, and uncivil driving have made a strong comeback. Some of the street dogs couldn't have been happier, getting the opportunity to chase cars and bikes again! After months!

Even though the number of positive cases continues to increase in India at an alarming rate, people are abandoning the safety of their homes to venture out. Most of them are helpless, given their nature of work. If they don't, they are most likely to lose their livelihood options. Work-from-Home is, after all, meant only for the white-collar jobs. Many offices are forcing employees to physically attend offices, or risk getting fired. Nice dilemma, isn't it? Which is more important: life or money?

Having said that, there's no excuse for flouting precautionary norms. Videos of people availing public transport services with complete disregard for social distancing norms have gone viral. Remember, prevention is better than cure any day.

Shops and other commercial establishments (not limited to just essential goods anymore) are opening up all over the country. People are visiting shops, eateries, and street food stalls, all the while flouting safety protocols and physical distancing norms.

Big risk, I'd say, considering the current trend of rapid rise in positive cases and the corresponding state of health infrastructure!

Have you experienced this in the recent past? I have 😆😆😆
Twice, to be precise.

People keep complaining that wearing a mask is quite inconvenient, since it makes breathing a bit laborious. That may be the case, but we can't deny its significant role in keeping us protected. It has other benefits too. Like, upon hearing a poor joke, you don't have to fake a smile anymore. What's even better is that the other person won't get offended by that either!
