    Awesome Perhaps consider selling all this and empower Hospitals which is the need of the hour Perhaps work towards Hi-Quality Masks N95 and Sanitizers are distributed at Subsidized rates to all Perhaps work towards making this city, its public spaces , streets, markets, shopping precincts, community centers, parks, playgrounds, and neighborhood spaces in residential areas are fogged to disinfect .
