Human race all over the world has come a long way and madephenomenal progress in almost all the fields of science and technology.Likewise pandemic diseases like small pox, cholera and tuberculosis etc., whichhad killed millions of people in a very short span time had become a thing ofpast now. Inventions of wide range of vaccine and antibiotic or other lifesaving drugs and procedures have almost all doubled the life span over theyears. But no country or leader, big orsmall, across the world knew that the real time challenge and test was yet tocome and unfold.
Wuhan city which otherwise had become a symbol of Chinesesuccess in trade and business suddenly fell like a pack of cards and turnedinto a hell for all its inhabitants. Chinese doctor Dr. Li Wenliang who firstblew a whistle to caution his fellow medics about the outbreak of widespreadpandemic because of this lethal Covid-19 virus, was silenced and reprimandedfor spreading a false rumor to avoid any large scale panic. While trying tosave others he himself became a victim of this deadly virus.
People were allowed to travel in and out of Wuhan withabsolute impunity before it dawned on the authorities they were about to losecontrol over it. They therefore swung into action and a complete shutdown wasordered and enforced. While as Italy was clueless that the virus had alreadylanded over there and became its first victim and right now daily death toll has risen to over seven hundred per day.Next to it, it took Spain, France and entire Europe under its sweep; thenBritain and the US.
World is facing a catastrophic situation and it is not clearwhere it may end up. The medical personal who are in the line of fire andfighting this undeclared war right now are without required number of masks,protective gear and ventilators etc. Hospitals are short of beds, personal anddrugs etc. All the governments around the world are no doubt trying to dowhatever they can to overcome this unprecedented crisis but all the measuresseem to be falling flat on the ground as the death toll continues rise and isnot likely to come down in near future.
People like Bill Gates had warned the world well in timeabout the possibility of such an outbreak but the war mongering countries andleaders world over took no notice whatsoever about it. And nothing was done tomobilize the resources to prepare for such an eventuality or disaster but theycontinued to build up their war machines to subjugate the other nations andcountries or show their dominions in the running of the day to day affairs ofthe world at large. We do have today bombs and ammunitions far more powerfuland capable of destruction than the ones that were used in the World War-IIthat had hundreds of thousands of people within the twinkling of an eye.
As a result of this gross negligence and lapse on their partwe are today unable to save all those precious lives we are likely to lose in afew weeks from now. Be that in Italy, Spain, Europe, Iran or the US. And whatturn it may take as far as India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh and other suchdeveloping countries are concerned is yet to be seen.
All we can do to mitigate this unprecedented of crisis ofour life time is to stay home and keep ourselves clean and at a distance fromone another as far as possible so that all those who are trying to put off thiswild fire by putting their own lives and that of their families at risk areallowed to do their job and save as many lives as they can.
Let God show His mercy on us all. Amem!
