One action Ishita would like you to do:

“I would like people to read this article because it will open your eyes to how much lockdown has exacerbated other people's precarious situations. During lockdown, we have become more insular in our worlds, but this article will help us to think outside the box about how different people are affected by lockdown in different ways.”
