(Thread) The most imp lesson we can draw from the #COVID_19 crisis is the need to address our broken public health systems. Wherever public health system was robust like Germany, or even our Kerala, the threat of the pandemic could be effectively tackled. #PehleHealthCare It is actually not rocket science to understand. The key to checking the pandemic in Germany has been mass testing, free of cost. The latter is imp, as a prof explained - if they charged for the test, a lot of lower income ppl with symptoms wouldn't get tested. #PehleHealthCare

Thread:

The Hindutva brigade is desperate to divide. In their hatred for Muslims & Islam they are now openly abusing the Prophet. How do we respond? The life of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) teaches us that the best way to respond to hatred is by love & compassion.
#ProphetofCompassion An old woman, out of hatred threw garbage in Prophet's way everyday. One day, when there was no garbage, Prophet got perturbed that the woman might be sick & went to inquire of her health. This small act of compassion changed that woman completely for life.
