As the famous saying goes, “we see what we want to see, and we hear what we want to hear”, the same goes for the current state of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Government might point out facts to substantiate their stance that Sri Lanka has succeeded in managing the pandemic, while the Opposition might present reasons to say that Sri Lanka has failed. New Zealand also has the lowest vaccination rate among the 38 members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The criteria we employ to gauge the success of the country’s management of the Covid-19 pandemic are sometimes incomplete. Only then would the world as a whole, ultimately, be able to win this long and grueling war.
