Mahmoud Seddik - Cairo
The forty-year-old took off the muzzle and threw it on the ground after seeing a pile of competitors' bodies on one of the perfumery stores selling nuts and dried fruits, and the Egyptians called them Yamish Ramadan, saying, "Cursed, Yamish, who answers Corona."
We approached Hamdi to inquire about the cause of the anger, and he launched a bitterness laugh, pointing to the crowds, and asked how these people had forgotten the advice of the Ministry of Health, officials, and the World Health Organization for the sake of Yamish
He added to Al-Jazeera Net: In this way, Corona will remain in Egypt for years and take thousands of lives, as long as we deal in this way. He pointed out that he went to more than one perfume shop and was surprised by the repetition of the crowded scene in this way.
A report issued by the Agricultural Quarantine affiliated to the Ministry of Agriculture revealed that imports from Yamish the first five months of 2019 amounted to approximately sixty thousand tons.
Ahmed Sheiha, the former head of the Importers Division at the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, estimated the import bill for Liamish Ramadan last forty million dollars, stressing that this year’s bill be counted after the end of the blessed month.
Model affixing
Mohamed Talaat, the owner of a poultry shop, stressed that this scene is repeated daily since the beginning of this week, perhaps more crowded than we see now on the shops of spices, butchers and groceries, and expressed his surprise at the behavior of some buyers who wear the protective mask, and after a few seconds they feel suffocated as a result of crowding and they take it off.
In his talk to Al-Jazeera, Talaat expressed his great amazement at those who threw themselves in the crowd, and after their exit, you find them using hand sanitizers to clean their hands, wondering what about breaths and adhesion in this typical form of the spread of the virus?
Dependence,
"Leave it on God", a word that Allaad Al-Saadani gave comfortably - when we asked him as soon as he got out of the crowd over the Yamish - an expression of his fear of transmission of the infection, echoing the verse, "Say, God will not afflict us except what God has written for us", but he recited it in letters that are incomplete and sometimes excessive in Other.
Al-Saadani asked Al-Jazeera Net correspondent a question and answered him, "Do you think that we are safe from infection with the Coronavirus in all this randomness that we live in? If we survived the market, we will not survive by public transportation or doors and walls."
He continued his answer, "If we survived all of this, would we survive the adulterated alcohol or sterilization materials that have been made under the ladder, so do not get fattened or sing from a virus."
The ban is the reason,
“As long as you have a muzzle, what scares you?” Umm Omar said, while shouting in her hand to a young man who seemed to know him, and he jokingly said to her, “Where are you going, not afraid of Corona?”
As for the twentieth al-Muhammadi, he used to sell yamish shortly before the advent of Ramadan, stressing that his employer had expected a significant decline in sales this year due to the spread of Corona, but was surprised by an attack on the purchase of goods almost a week ago.
He explained the secret of the extreme crowding this year with the ban imposed on the shops and the early closure, so the time available for citizens to buy was limited, and was limited to a few hours.
On the decline in the prices of dates and nuts this year significantly, the citizen said that this encouraged a segment that was satisfied with buying only dates without the rest of the more expensive nuts during previous years.
Wrong messages
Psychiatrist Samir Kamal interprets the phenomenon of overcrowding - which he sees as indicating unwanted reassurance in dealing with a virus fiercely corona - as a reflection of non-resolute or decisive measures by the state.
Speaking to Al-Jazeera Net, Kamal added that reducing the time for curfews to start at nine in the evening instead of eight, and expanding the circle of those excluded from the curfew, delivered a wrong message to citizens that the crisis of spreading the virus is on the way to receding.
He also pointed out that what relieves people’s anxiety and their guardianship is what happens daily inside the subway, trains and public transportation spread on social media, and what they see as tens of thousands in the midst of this crowd and contiguity, at a time that does not exceed (declared victims numbers) dozens, according to Kamal. .
