    Rest in peace. My company forcing us to come to work even though we non essential staff work better from home. Very scared to go with all these deaths. Company don't care about employees. Only profits.

    In and out from the time they got sick is not mentioned in all of recent deaths. Probably may have not informed when they got infected. Even this act may be a cause for the spread because the family members get infected causing people around them. Health authorities should look intro this

    Government is responsible to ensure protection and security for the people whatever the circumstances and the government has to pay for the consequences otherwise we don't need a government

    The deaths will continue, about 5 to 10 a day for the next 6 months until a total of 1000 to 2000 is reached. The only way to decrease deaths is as follows. Everyone should take vitamin D3 1000 units, vitamin C 1000 mg and oral Zinc 10 mg daily to prevent the infection. Anyone with symptoms and tests positive should start vitamin D3, 10 thousand units daily for 2 days followed by 3000 units daily for 28 days. Pulse oximeters should be widely available to detect low oxygen levels at home and send them to hospital early.

    Are the commentators saying that Governments in power all over the world are responsible for deaths. Are we not considering the number of people saved from potential deaths due to efforts of those Governments. Please note that proper mask wearing (i mean not on the neck or above eyes like many Sri Lankans do) , hand hygiene, isolation, social distancing will save lives. Those who die are those who have prior medical conditions. If you wear a mask and keep adjusting it all the time and then touching your face there is no use.
