HUNGER may kill us before COVID-19 in 2020

The most lively and embellish plant Earth is fighting against the menacing infectious COVID-19. 

Wistfully, my country India is under the darkest thick clouds of poorest fear hunger along with the COVID-19. Nearly 25% of the country's population is believed to be below poverty line and are in a panic situation and thought, HUNGER may kill us before COVID-19 in 2020.

The current Modi Gov as always  right on their toes took a sudden decision and enforced lockdown to halt the spread of the coronavirus outbreak. All the outdoor activities of the public have been completely restricted and are locked to indoors. However, for many daily-wage earners this is not an option. Their stomach and so their families are completely dependent upon the daily earnings. No human and no Gov on this earth can reach out to the 25% of the country's population on daily basis and serve two meals a day. 
The hunger is roaring soundless and there is rarely an ear or a helping hand to this biggest hungriness. As, all the attention, ears, eyes, hands and minds are busily drawn towards social media, social networking, television, Netflix, various mega medias, etc.
Is hunger more dangerous or the coronavirus; is extremely difficult to answer?

I welcome your practical and realistic thoughts and inputs on this.
Thanks

My Moonlit Serenade

My Moonlit Serenade, You gifted pain, a haunting cost, A treasure found, a love embossed.  My heart rejoiced, yet something remained,  An ache untamed, a sorrow unnamed. I lived, though joy felt frail, A lingering lack, a mournful wail. Devotion ran deep like a sacred tide,  In fleeting joy, yet emptiness inside.  Life was lived, but something stayed,  A whisper, a shadow, an unmet gaze. You're veiled, my unseen delight, In empty cups, a starless night. Where moments pause, a dream unspun, Awaiting you, my only one. In longing's core, your essence gleams, In tearful eyes, your presence teems. In hope, in thirst, your breath I crave In all I see, your face appears, Dispelling shadows, calming fears You were the thirst, the silent sigh,  The tear that gleamed in my weary eye.  You danced in laughter, in dreams untamed,  You burned in passion, in love unchained. And where my steps found their last refrain,  The cup stood empty, untouched again....

Fire Snow

Some say that love is born of fire, A frantic flame that feeds on breath, To satisfy a wild desire And lead a soul to golden death. I’ve tasted such a burning brand, It seared within my heart and mind; A drought upon a summer land That left a bitter dust behind. But I have known a different cold— Not like the hate that freezes deep, But like the hemlock, dark and old, Where winter crows their vigils keep. For when the fire begins to wane And leaves me heavy with my rue, A dust of snow, like falling rain, Descends to make the spirit new. A sudden brush against the sleeve, A quiet word, a cooling touch; Small graces help the heart believe That passion does not owe us much. For love is neither ice nor flame, But how the white drifts drench the red; It gives the day a gentler name And saves the path that we must tread. -Jairam Kshirasagar
