A letter I received from an Arab resident, who is very keen on the state, and loves all the love for the name and position of the state, considers her her country, and loves her with the love of the motherland, and therefore she insists that I convey her point of view, and I promised her to do so, without any interference from me, so this message was in which it says:

Since the spread of the Corona pandemic, the UAE has harnessed all its resources to address the epidemic, in order to preserve every individual on its land, until its humanitarian panic has become a protection for all without distinction between a citizen and a resident, a new lesson in coexistence and social cohesion, with which we felt that we are one human block, reflecting the vision of the Emirates and its historical constants. And confirms that this part of the earth is a true homeland that accommodates all people.

And the phrase “Do not paralyze them,” which he launched with all the seriousness and generosity of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in the midst of the crisis, has become a slogan and an approach to work for all, and a sign of hope with which patients receive their day every morning with boxes of medicine and breakfast, as the crisis management is keen to write this The phrase is actually on every meal throughout the day, emphasizing societal cohesion, and consolidating the state’s support with all its resources behind each patient, so that he can recover without regard to gender or color, and everyone knows that.

But because throughout history there have always been negatives in times of crisis, questions must be asked that revolve in the mind and heart of every lover of this good country, who has experienced Corona disease, including but not limited to:

Do hospitals specialized in receiving Corona cases and places of isolation need all this number of volunteers, who receive monthly salaries, even though their real roles are actually few?

And I saw for myself during the period of about 6 hours, which I spent in the examinations, that their number is greater than the number of patients.

Does moving from the hospital to the isolation city require luxury Lexus and Limousine cars?

The quantities of food that are provided to each person are very large and varied, and the patient often does not eat half of it.

- Each person is given personal hygiene items, enough for four people, for example, does the patient need two toothbrushes for a period of 10 days, and other tools that the most luxurious hotels do not provide!

This has led to many people asking for isolation due to what is reported about the level of service and the way patients are treated.

My son has spent 10 days there, and he says it is more than a resort for recreation, and the menus there are of a very high standard, and I spent the days in the hospital due to a lung infection, and although things there are less, but it is beyond the capacity of any health system in the world, for example from Among us, we eat 4 times Nescafe at home, 4 green tea and 4 black tea, in addition to juice and milk. This is the daily rate of drinks and milk. As for the rest of the food details, there is nothing wrong.

The issue here is that there is absolutely no dispute about the efforts made by the crisis management in the Emirates, but the matter at this pace needs review, because it undoubtedly costs the state budget a lot amid global conditions that everyone knows.

Adequate care is required for recovery, and at reasonable costs, as the most powerful health systems in the world do not bear this indefinitely, and every keen and lover of this country must put these facts before his eyes, because no one knows when and how the world will get rid of the Corona virus, and no one can speculate. Dimensions and future disadvantages!
