His account compels the evaluation of utility or futility of several measures prescribed by the government as a strategy to combat the pandemic corona virus. The governments as well as science experts in public and private sector know very little of the virus that soon spread with the pandemic intensity except that virus can be dangerous infection. The personal confrontation with infected person can transmit the infection though victim may remain unaware of it from four to fourteen days and continue to infect others who come in close contact with the infected person. Though it spread like wild fire engulfing America and European nations for the eight months no one has been able to discover the effective cure. Every nation was firing shots in the dark in a hope of hitting the target.

Most governments have recommended frequent hand washing to citizens who remain locked up in their abodes, more essentially to those who go to pick up life essentials for the family regardless they come across the infested persons or not. The life essentials suppliers could remain open as none of their joints was down with infection. The prescribed process of hand wash for twenty times in 16 hours of awakened state of individuals in a day may be precautionary as no one knew who was infected or in first stage of infection and who was not, but it provided the grand opportunity for exploitation to the most soap and hand wash liquid manufacturers. All claimed their product to be 99.9 per cent protection against the virus even without certification from the prescribed government authority.

The blind follow up of the prescribed precautionary measure led to usage of tremendous amount of water most of it was no more useful than wastage. The government also compelled citizens to down load the application known as Arogya Setu with a promise it could forewarn them. Banks were told not to admit customers without application on their mobile phone instrument. Mobile owners were cleared or warned to seek medical assistance after they orally answered ten routine questions. Yet his available information definitely said that most persons would know only after four to fourteen days whether they were carrying infection or not. How anyone can be given clearance without his examination by the medical team and only basis of their indirect answers? It may appear that mobile service providers were loaded with additional task or the fear was exploited to expand the digital data service net work. So the business firms were provided with additional income source by forcing mobile users to be acquainted with usage of data applications even though the real utility was suspect. But insistence on use of mobile data application was made compulsory with threat of being debarred entry into important public or government offices. Later it was made compulsory even for travel by bus, rail or air.

If the physical contact from close distance was the cause for transmission of infection, why most of eight million labour and other kind of toilers who travelled in large groups long distances from their work stations to their birth stations in underdeveloped states either on their feet or in bus services provided freely and without charging fare on the humanitarian ground did not catch infection? Why only economically vibrant and advanced states and their large urban establishments had more cases of infected patients? Why did the infection make distinction of age as the released data of the disease suggests nearly 80 percent of patients who felled victims finally to the pandemics were of over 60 years and most were suffering from other debilities that ended the life? Similarity in data of final victims as well as of patients who recovered suggests that corona was allergy and young had ability to resist and overcome the aggression but old persons and those suffering other life ending debilities could not.

The corona virus pandemic spread like a wild fire and no government could have had the needed medical services in the developing country. More than sixty thousand students pass every year through the final MBBS examination but a large portion nearly third of them of go to developed nations for further studies and get absorbed in the medical services of those countries. The Indian government bears expenditure of their education but finally they serve the developed nations. The union government had sought in 1982 to make them to serve under compulsion in clinics in the rural areas. However, howling middle class and lack of advanced equipments and gadgetry had forced the government to step down from its intention. That causes heavy shortfall in availability of medicos per ten thousand Indians. More medicos of Indian origins serve in the American medical system than of any other ethnicity. But the governments become helpless in preventing them from going abroad, may be only on pretext of for further studies as India does not have advanced facilities for higher studies.

However, the government had option of preventing private hospitals from minting money for serving the pandemic suffering patients. The option was used ultimately but not before most private hospitals had earned their fortunes. The pandemic also proved how the private hospitals do refuse to serve patients not capable of meeting their rate demands and exploiting heavy shortage in government owned hospitals.

Return to normalcy in Mumbai depends on restoration of the suburban rail service as millions depend for their movement to work and services on the massive mode of transport. But fear of mass contact in overcrowding in rail services would not allow the resumption of rail service in Mumbai. It would not allow resumption of economic activities on old scale. In India, health services were never treated as health care but only as disease treatments. Yogesh is ready and yearning to go back to old times but he and his staff are pushed back to the era that existed 200 years ago when seven islands were being transformed into the modern commercial capital of India.
