  Is long work hours real happiness or a sign of lethality? As we know very well, from last year wfh has become granted factor for IT sector because it is a too cost-effective way for them. Companies do not have to provide any type of facilities to the employees and gets quality work. Now companies enable to achieve the number of projects within timeframe neither thinking that long working hours can impact one’s health nor about the mental stability of employees.

Is WHO’s response the subject of controversy?        I don’t know from where should I start? I am feeling that nowadays government bodies have started to play with human's health. Even we also don’t know anything so we adapt a method to be part of the rat race. Our health consultants, organization etc. follows this trend. For instance, W orld Health Organization (WHO) claims that Remdesivir is a more effective drug to treat the patient with Covid-19 . Due to this number of countries across the world have taken manufacturing and purchase approval from US-FDA.       Initially, Remdesivir was given to  Donald Trump   ( President of US )  when he had infected with Covid-19 and a recovery report came desirable. From that point, the number of pharmaceutical companies starts to manufacture Remdesivir and supplies a wide number of countries around the globe which already have taken approval of purchasing.

A worldwide covid-19 pandemic closed us in place, closing many businesses, social lives down and our businesses for good. Awfully, most of the people did not have any idea what to do with this situation or tackle this pandemic. Instead of amalgamating together as a country or more broadly as a world, we completed becoming even more isolated, due to several reasons i.e. nature of the virus itself, but merely because of the way that our political and cultural conversation has headed. As we were not enabled to put off these differences that’s why it cost us greatly.
