She emphasized the need for human beings to stop the self-pity and selfish behaviour and direct their attention towards the earth. Sona Mohapatra said, "How can just one lac likely affected people by Coronavirus around the world bother us all so much when we, as a human race have wiped out 60 per cent of all wildlife in the last 40 years for our own gains. Billions of life forms wiped out for our greed. That hasn’t bothered humans much. Isn’t it time nature hit us back? I think she should."
