Objective: Keeping the current surge of COVID-19 in Pakistan, plan an interview with Provincial Health Minister Punjab to ask about the future plans of the government. Draft ten open ended questions for this interview assignment.

Interviewee: Dr Yasmin Rashid, Provincial Health Minister of Punjab

Interviewer: Ahmed Saeed

Questions for the Interview:

Q1. Minister, what is the total number of coronavirus cases has been tested in Pakistan? And how many are positive so far?

Q2. How many isolation centres are there in Punjab and what steps are being taken when a patient tests positive?

Q3. The people from slums and small areas in the province are not aware of the virus and are not taking it seriously. So, do you think that people from these areas are being reported in the centres?

Q4. Minister, can I ask, are there any plans to review the 14-day isolation period and potentially cut that time frame down?

Q5. There have been a lot of cases reported in Punjab. So, how many are recovering? And there have been that have recovered and have been re affected again?

Q6. According to some recent studies, some countries state that it is not necessary to wear masks and gloves if you maintain social distancing. So do you really think they are directing the people right?

Q7. Given the advanced resources and medical facilities the developed countries have, they are still not able to cut down the number of infected people. So do you think our medical team is any better and able to help in this crisis?

Q8. Initially there was more number of cases in the province of Sindh than those in Punjab. So what do you think has been the major reason for such a large number of positive cases in Punjab and why has the government failed to flatten the curve until now?

Q9. The number of coronavirus cases has been increasing very quickly and there is no stopping to it. Do you think since the lockdown, the ratio of reporting cases has been reduced?

Q10. Adding to it, since the number of cases has not decreased even after imposing the lockdown, so do you think shutting down everything is the solution?

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
