COVID-19 patient studies for exam in hospital, here's what the internet said
The internet however had a mixed reaction to the photo Kulange shared. Where some praised the aspirant's drive for exam preparation even while afflicted with the virus, others were of the opinion that this kind of examination culture is "toxic."
"We're humans, not machines. It's high time India stopped glorifying toxic productivity. Not everyone can 'dedicate' themselves in such unprecedented situations," one user wrote.
"Please do not encourage overworking. I appreciate hustle and hard work. I appreciate strong will. But this attitude, often mistook for being careless towards health is what brought us here as a nation," another wrote.
Another section of netizens, meanwhile, feel that a COVID-19 patient in a functional condition to study is capable of recovering at home while leaving the bed vacant for more serious patients. Several states across the country are reporting a shortage of hospital beds and oxygen, as experts point to a breakdown of the healthcare system. Our coverage here.
"It's wrong publicity If he is healthy to study that bed should have been given to another patient," one user wrote.
"Sir I don't want to judge him but if he is doing fine, plz ask him to vacate the bed & allot that bed to someone who is fighting for even a single breath to survive," another said.
