    All the population without exception should be tested. All the local resources should be mobilized to systematically find an innovative method of testing. A pool of experts must be assigned this task. Testing personnel should be trained not only in testing but in good human behaviour such as politeness and unbiased approach to all the people of the country as equal citizens of the country. Racial prejudice should not be part of preventive programme. Unbiased officers should be appointed to key positions.

    All the Mps and Ministers, chairpersons of government utilities and departments, bank heads,specialist doctors should contribute their three months salaries totally for welfare of the under-privileged people of the country. Show your love for the country by showing love to the people of this country.....

    There should be a thorough inquiry by the auditors on how the grama sevakas distributed the 5000 Rupees allowance granted to the people by the government. More and more people claim that they failed to receive this amount. Did the GS's or officers fill their pockets?

    If you test more people you get more confirmed cases. Sri Lanka and Australia has similar populations while Australia has tested 1 million and Sri Lanka tested 42,000. That will tell whole the story.

    Stop complaining people. If things are supposedly so bad, our ICUs would be full of dying COVID patients. Keep your anger and jealously and suspicions to yourself.
