Went to a financial institute today 3 guards making a commendable effort to restrict nmbrs inside & to keep the SOP definded space b/w customers
Outside a queue of 20 literally a palm's distance apart at best waiting to get in refusing to stand apart
These were clearly educated folk & moneyed. The guards were struggling to keep the numbers inside the branch to the minimum. People kept shoving to get in...
Remember this is a nation that avoid using seatbelts and helmets as much as they can..
Today got this message .. its much too late now.. nearly 23000 cases over 550 deaths... too late...
But don't be mistaken the virus is here and it's going to get much worse before it gets better.. the hospitals are what will really feel the pain..
Personal view point : Sindh will report larger numbers for a while to come and has thus far for one main reason. They are actively screening and tracing possible victims. The large number of flights to Karachi are and added burden.
Punjab reporting Zero 3 weeks into the first case in Pakistan is a mystery. The virus clearly knows no borders.
KhyberPakhtoonKhwa again has a better mechanism in place for tracing possible cases.
This thread is to sift thru specualtion and fact as far as what is publicly known.
Folk a lot of rumours in circulation on impact zone and cause of leak etc.
Here is what is known as of now.
- 2 consecutive evenings gas spread and has left 10 dead and over 400 plus treated. A majority discharged. A small percentage remain critical.
- the ground zero is area near the oil terminals. Some may know the area as the point where you get on the boats for crabbing.
- depending on wind direction and speed the gas can be smelt as far as jinnah bridge. It is causing irritation to the eyes and a burning sensation in the throat as well as being an extremely foul odour (rotten eggs).
Story time on the criminal neglect of the Fire Brigade in #Karachi and equally horrendous civic sense of its citizens. This is my story.
It's around 9PM on a weekday at a mutlistorey residential complex in Clifton when our apartment starts smelling of burnt rubber. The family quickly moves around the house to investigate and realise it's not from inside the apartment.
So cautiously we open the front door and can see thick black smoke billowing from one of the apartments. Quickly I send the family down the stairs while I scrumage in my tool box for a spanner pliers and a torch. Also grab the car keys and a cloth heading to the basement
