and the value of life has dawned upon us due to this pandemic. Thankfully this disease wasn't generated from slums or the lower middle class otherwise they would have bore the brunt of it. I call it the “Ameero ki bimari“ cos it has not originated from within but brought from flyers who have an international flight history. Good morning, writers! ☺ “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” - Pablo Picasso Did you know?🌸 With stories of courage and compassion coming forth in times of this pandemic, let’s hark back to the year 1896. That was the time when the Bombay Bubonic Plague killed thousands in present-day Mumbai. And just like today, doctors and health workers stood in the frontlines and risked their lives to save others.🙏 One such person was Dr. Acacio Gabriel Viegas. His dispensary was located in a poor neighborhood of narrow and overcrowded streets, with filth accumulating in the sewers. After seeing patients showing some similar symptoms, and reports of 50-60 deaths, he was convinced that he had detected cases of Bombay Bubonic Plague.
