What will remain behind is a world of grief. Our first rehabilitative challenge would be something which we have always saved for last: mental health.

Source: Dr Rana Jawad Asghar , The Express Tribune, Islamabad , 2021-04-11 The Covid vaccine seems a distant mirage for most Pakistanis. As reported by the government, over one million people have been vaccinated — mostly healthcare workers, elders, and children of Pakistan’s powerful elites. Still, this is less than 0.5% of Pakistan’s population. Anyone can do the math to work out how long we will need to vaccinate 70% of the population. While an absol..... more >> Unequal vaccine distribution Source: EDITORIAL, Dawn, Islamabad , 2021-04-11 IT is in times of crisis that we often see the best — or worst — of humanity. In this regard, the pandemic has put the world’s compassion to test. The rate at which rich nations are buying up vaccines from manufacturers that have a finite supply has been described by the WHO chief as “grotesque”.

There are now clear indications that fear is spreading as news of deaths widens around the country.

    May 18, 2020 Syed Murad Ali Shah Honourable Chief Minister Sindh CM House, Club Road Karachi Dear Shah Sahib, REOPENING OF INDUSTRIES IN SINDH The Pakistan Business Council (PBC) is a private sector business policy advocacy forum composed of the largest businesses including multinationals operating in Pakistan. Its members contribute nearly 25% of the national tax revenue, generate 40% of annual exports and contribute every 9th rupee to Pakistan’s GDP. Members operate in nearly all sectors of the formal economy and many have a strong presence in Sindh. PBC appreciates the proactive steps taken by your government to contain the spread of the Covid- 19. No doubt countless lives have been saved. We also record our appreciation of the phased and safety driven manner in which your government has allowed economic activity to resume. Many of our members in food, pharmaceutical, iron and steel and export sectors in Sindh have demonstrated a heightened sense of responsibility to safe-work practices. There are anomalies between the sectors allowed to reopen by various provinces. These are working to the detriment of those with manufacturing facilities in Sindh. As a result, the Sindh based units are losing revenue and market share, whilst continuing to pay employees and incur fixed costs. A case in point is electronic appliance manufacturers which have been allowed to reopen in Punjab, whilst those in Sindh are still locked down. PBC urges you to allow industries other than steel, cement and apparel to resume operations, conditional of course to compliance with the SOPs prescribed. Prolonged shutdown carries the risk of permanent closure of some undertakings and the consequent loss of jobs and revenue to the Government of Sindh.
