Civil Hospital Karachi was attacked last night by a mob after a coronavirus patient died during treatment and people are absolutely furious.
With the world coming to an absolute halt because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the impatience and ignorance of the general population are causing further instability within the society. With a huge number of people claiming that the coronavirus is a hoax, one realizes that there is truly no limit to one’s extent of denial.

The mob ruthlessly attacked whatever came in the way while exclaiming that the coronavirus is nothing but ‘doctors ke dramay’
The mob took the body of the deceased coronavirus patient with them while also causing significant distress and damage to the doctors and the hospital.
Around 100 people with iron rods & knives attacked the #Karachi Civil Hospital last night. They were shouting, "There is no #corona. This is all drama created by doctors."

Feeling so numb seeing reports of 70 armed goons attacking Karachi Civil Hospital last night and shouting
"KOI CORONA NAHEN HAI. YE SAB DOCTORS KA DRAMA HAI”. This nation seriously does not deserve any SOPs or preventive lockdown. Let them be at the hands of their ill fate! 🤦🏻♂️— Osama Malik 🐯 (@osamamalik63) May 30, 2020
This news has prompted people to express how extremely unbelievable it is that after thousands of death, people still believe it to be a hoax.

The medical staff is under great stress after the occurrence of multiple attacks at different hospitals
When leaders & social media pretend #CoronaVirusPakistan is a hoax!
More #doctors attacked by attendants for FAILING to save #COVID19 patient. A union demands security & perpetrators arrested or medics stop work.
This is #Peshawar's Lady Reading hospitalhttps://t.co/etmemYF6Bq

It is extremely troubling to see how the sacrifices and efforts of our medical staff are being thrashed just because the people of this society choose blind denial. However, no matter how unsettling and disturbing such news might be, each of us has a part to play against this battle. Stay home everybody and stay safe!
