Water burial is a normal thing in India, because of the local religious beliefs, Indians believe that only sending the dead to the Ganges is the greatest respect for the dead. Just because from the end of 20 19 to the beginning of 2020, people all over the world are in dire straits because of the COVID-19 epidemic. Remember when the epidemic first broke out? The news reports the number of new infections and deaths every day, which should be the period when people have suffered the most since SARS.
Today, the COVID-19 epidemic in China has been controlled, and the country's productivity and economy are rapidly recovering. However, in western countries, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 is still very serious, especially in some places in Africa where medical equipment and living conditions are underdeveloped. The arrival of COVID-19 added fuel to the already unstable life of people in these places.
Among them, the Indian treatment of the remains of COVID-19 infected people is the most inappropriate! Although water burial is highly respected in the local area, is it too casual to solve the problem of water burial on the premise that the virus is highly contagious? Recently, according to media reports, the number of bodies on the Ganges can be as high as 60! The source of these bodies is no different from two places: one is a small clinic by the river; The second is the local poor. I knew that in India, wood is extremely scarce, and things are scarce, so if the body is buried, such expensive expenses are beyond the affordability of ordinary people!
I have seen a documentary about the Ganges River in India before, which said that local people eat the water of Ganges River and wash clothes in this river. They think the water in the Ganges is the cleanest, but they also throw their bodies into the Ganges.
Seeing this, I am especially glad that I was born in China. The strength of China makes us more confident in life.
