Gaza refuses to practice social distancing

As of today, there are 306,677 confirmed cases of corona virus worldwide.  13,017 have died.  Health care facilities are critically understaffed, with shortages in masks, hand-sanitizer and ventilators in short supply.

And in spite of this,  Gaza has refused to practice social distancing, flaunting their refusal on social media


 

After two Gazans returning from Pakistan tested positive for the coronavirus, the Gaza Health  ministry began to take the pandemic seriously, deciding to close wedding halls, restaurants, cafes and lounges, and to suspend Friday prayers in the Gaza Strip until further notice.  Currently 80 travelers to Gaza are in quarantine.

it just shows again how arab society is largely their own worst enemy. in this particular case we see it again. rather it's not using what has been well known common sense during a global medical crisis or provoking Israel militarily they are ultimately responsible for the misery of their lives.
