PAKISTAN is once again on the brink. The past several days have seen rising death tolls increasing to the point that they are daily records in themselves. The unforgiving coronavirus that has upended the world and killed more than half a million people in the world’s richest country and millions all over the globe is threatening to choke Pakistan once again.
Since Pakistanis have become lax in their efforts at social distancing in the holy month, the military is being deployed to ensure that they observe the government-mandated SOPs. The threat of force, the government seems to have calculated, is the best way to get people to do what must be done: a Ramazan spent in isolation, Eid shopping foregone are the orders of the day.
