Corona Virus - A real pandemic or wrath of the God.
COVID-19 (Corona Virus- 2019) started its journey from the seafood market, Wuhan, China. COVID19 is not the first virus, which is causing a massive death toll on the world. In 165 AD, Antonine Plague - killed almost 5 million people
across the world. After that bubonic plague killed more than 200 million people between 1347-1351 (highest number of deaths reported in the history) - also known as the black death. Recurrence of the disease was continued in different forms. Almost A century ago next lethal disease was born as Spanish Flu (H1N1 virus) which killed more
than 50 million people (1918-1919). if you go in detail (depicted in the photo below) you will realize, microbes can vanish human species than other nuclear disasters.
If we talk about Corona Virus - in 2002 it was detected as
SARS-CoV(severe acute respiratory syndrome), transmitted through bats, Civets, but it was not lethal as Novel Corona
Virus. The exact source of the virus is not known yet but based on recent news and
articles, Corona Virus transformed from a virus that is usually found in snake or bat, now causing
infection to humans. China is the only country which eats all animal exists over
the earth. Eating habits of Chinese people still not known- why and how they
have a different taste from the rest of the world.
The first case of the corona was reported from Hubei Province, Wuhan,
China on November 17, 2019. Initially, it was called SARS-CoV-2 because of
its symptoms but at the end of the month, they got to know that it's spreading from the wet
market (seafood Market) Wuhan. Continuously cases were increasing from 5 to 50 in mid
December 2019. At the end of 3 months (March 2020) - all countries (except
Antarctica because of less immigration of people) were affected by the disease. Leading countries were USA, Italy,
Spain, and Germany, etc. Mainland China took control over the disease by mid
March- lockdown was opened. China became a leader all over the world and providing
health care equipment support to other countries.
Since black deaths pandemic - social distancing, lockdown,
quarantine are the only measures that saved human lives in-totto. Many other things are
added in the medical field to fight with these bacteria or viruses like herd
immunity, Vaccines, drugs. All bacteria or Viruses are not equally effectively treated with
these measures like HIV, H1N1, Corona, they do not have herd immunity - that simply means that now they will continue as the disease for society. Unlike polio, this disease will never be eradicated from society.
We are developed in all fields like - technology, medical,
research, etc., still, humans having a fear of God, sometimes for its
presence or some times for its absence. According to the literature, human has a separate part of devotion for their God and nature. Human is a complex creature
on the earth.
If we go to human's selfish behavior - they have the tendency
to blame God for all their mistakes. As they are developing or evolving - they
are causing more destruction to nature in various ways, for example, deforestation
for construction, cutting mountains for developing highways, over use of plastic -
hazardous for animals and lands, smoke particles from industries, etc. If we sit
and try to make a list of the ways how we are destroying the nature, you will fill many
pages still you will that something is left.
Ohh! of course while reading the line you will get a thought -
"Should we stop living or stop our development". Answer is
"No". The fact is nature gave us enough "margin of error".
That we should know and we are crossing it. Now here what do "we
"mean? It means human(we) should
work together- in a coordinated way so that we develop without much destruction,
without disturbing nature, stay inside your margin of error.
In consideration of all thoughts - few think that Corona
Pandemic are the wrath of God. Actually, it is reflection of human behavior for
it's nature - it is not wrath.
This is the real-time - to save
our nature by changing our small habits for our next generations. Don't think- how alone you can change the world - it is a unseen war.
started today - to save the nature and our species- the Homo sapiens sapiens.

Wonderful endeavour, Dr Awaneesh. You have nicely dwelt on a pertinent topic- yes, is it really nature reclaiming herself? May be yes.

ReplyDeleteThis ongoing pandemic can not be the wrath of god. It's the human who are responsible for this. And as you said, this is the real time to save our nature, So the change must come from both the rich and poor societies. I hope this may resolve soon and we get to live our lives the way it was before @Tanuja Thakur
