Health officials blaming the government and the forces who are taking care of the covid19. They are saying that no one is following the guidelines from the health officials. Saying that people are forgot the rules and regulations. But specially blaming the government.

The blame game from all quarters will never end. Either way, all top brass and politicians get to go about while the citizens suffer this way or that way.
