My sister got diagnosed with COVID yesterday..i thought symptoms would be mild..but no..today oxygen level fell to 89..the situation in Delhi is indeed serious..its all very risky..insane for UPSC to have such apathy...
and with the given covid outburst ...many candidates will be catching the virus+high chances of infecting the fellow candidates ..dont know what to say..also a little disturbed to see how everyone of us fall in line so easily..
6 hours N95? I didnt see anyone do that except my doctor when I got COVID and got admitted to hospital. I dont think there will be too many people at the center. 9k across the entire country! reason why they will go ahead with the exam!My mind reading the above conversations wrt COVID and Mains:
"Mass bunk karne ka koi scope hai kya?" #CollegeDaysAndExams
To add my bit to above concerns,
If UPSC goes zero tolerace way and asks us to bring the unbreathable N95 to be worn for 6 hours (+4 hours at centre) for all the 5 days, it will be very difficult breathing and thinking straight.
Gone are the days when we could snack over few Dairy Milks during the mains. That has been the highlight of my previous mains.
Update on 4/1/2022: 2 days from exam and sitting with a phool :
Yes true.But its not just the examination centre that poses the risk of infection.Mains being a nine day event..odds become pretty high..anyway just putting a perspective..my outlook has changed a lot in last couple of days..no intention to create fear..but take all the precautions guys..
