With Eid coming up, plenty of people couldn’t care less about the lockdown or quarantine amid the Coronavirus crisis. However, Shaniera Akram isn’t letting us brush our disregard for personal safety aside by nonchalantly saying that ‘this is Pakistan‘. Everything goes huh? Wrong, because Shaniera bhabhi has had enough of this.
Whether people throw that dialogue around out of melancholy or misplaced courage, Shainera Akram is going all full ‘momma bear’ on us with a class on taking responsibility.
She took to Twitter to call out people on their irresponsible behavior.
I wish for once, people would stop saying “but this is Pakistan” and stop acting as though we don’t matter and start to take some responsibility. We can’t just sit around waiting for someone to come fix everything all the time. We owe it to ourselves & our country to try harder!

“I wish for once, people would stop saying ‘but this is Pakistan‘ and stop acting as though we don’t matter and start to take some responsibility.”

“Anyone with a challenged immune system cannot risk celebrating Eid with anyone other than who they are quarantined with, … If the people they are quarantined with go out and meet people, they are the ones likely to contract the virus and bring it home. Be smart everyone, stay home!”

Shaniera explained how a compromised immune system can be easily overlooked as asthma and anemia.
A challenged immune system can be anything you take medication for. Asthma, anemia, diabetes, all types of cancers, blood disorders even malnutrition! 35 million people in Pakistan have diabetes, so that is at least 35 million people who CAN NOT risk getting COVID19. #StayHome

Since Ramadan and the spirit of Eid is about kindness and charity, Shaniera Akram thinks the most charitable thing to do right now is to stay at home.
