Acharya Prashant addresses the mindset of people who believe that a saint or a 'Babaji' can cure the coronavirus, dismissing scientific measures like lockdowns. He states that this kind of thinking is what is called foolishness, irreligion, and violence, and these are all interconnected. He explains that when science is clear on a matter, and when scientists, doctors, and researchers worldwide are saying in one voice that it will take time to develop a medicine for this disease, it is a crime against humanity to spread such misinformation. A vaccine could take a year or two, and even for immediate treatment, more data is needed to determine the right medicines. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that humanity needs to buy time. The purpose of measures like the lockdown is to try and save time. The goal is to prevent the graph of the number of infected people over time from looking like a snake with its hood raised. While the number of infected people is bound to increase, the entire effort is to ensure that the rate of increase is not very fast. The slope of the curve should not be steep. He explains that if the pandemic spreads too quickly, the entire medical services will collapse. There is a limited number of doctors, hospitals, beds, and medicines. If millions of people get infected at once, the system will be overwhelmed. He uses an analogy: if you have six plates of food and sixty guests, you can serve everyone, but only in batches. If all sixty demand food at once, the system will collapse. Similarly, if millions get infected, it is better they get infected gradually over six months rather than in six days. If the medical system collapses, people will die not just from COVID-19, but from all other diseases as well, because the hospitals will be overwhelmed. For instance, a heart attack patient or a liver patient will not get care because all hospital resources will be engaged with coronavirus patients. The speaker states that those who spread foolish talk, claiming their saint can cure the virus, are criminals against humanity. The work of spirituality is not to treat viruses. Those who make such claims know neither medical science nor spiritual science. He asserts that at this time, it is the duty of the age (kaal dharma) to not only avoid such talk but to actively stop and rebuke anyone seen engaging in it. He suggests that such people and their entire organizations should be identified and treated as enemies of humanity.
