The COVID-19 Lesson: Just Hope We Learn
The novel Coronavirus disease, Covid-19, came with a shocking revelation. That the world, in the grip of its much taunted readiness to wade off any emergency, was not just making loudmouthed noise but was never prepared as it claimed. It took China by surprise, beating it off it's shrewdness- one that fed them with a false impression that they could have silently managed it and needed not to cry out to the global community.
At China's inefficiency to curb the upscaling of the virus, an inefficiency defined by egoistic exertion, the novel virus meandered accross with such viral replicatory proficiency and spread across many other countries. The subsequent combined laxity and inefficiency of entire world gave it geometric flight and surged it into one global pandemic affecting every social, economical and political fabric of the entire world.
Its impression has touched on all viable sectors of human lives. Because it's a human predicament, the Coronavirus has affected all and everything that touches life- social interaction is pulled at lengthy distance, business and economic engagements is being crippled, airlines with their flights are grounding, markets and businesses are closing shops, even the healthcare systems are being stretched and overtly overwhelmed.
There's hysteria, there's trepidation all over the place. People are afraid to come out, to interact, government and countries are closing borders, preventing inter and intra migration- just in order to prevent the spread of this virus. And though, the emphasis has continued to be on measures to stem the velocity of this virus, it just keeps going, infecting more and more.
The world just seems not to be the same again.
But the glaring fact that has come with the Covid-19 outbreak is that when the storm shall calm down and the tide subsides, there shall be a worldwide review and introspection. After the widespread hysteria and the hands on social recalibration that accompanied this global pandemic, the world shall not remain the same again.
Who would have told the world about social distancing, and even go to the extent of enforcing same? What could have necessitated the act of having to come home, meet with family and close ones in such unimagined length as imposed by the necessity of a stay at home? Who would have believed the pragmatism of a community lock down, of flights being stopped and of social lives being cudgeled? And the height of all, who would have imagined that the world, that life could still go ahead regardless of all these?
Indeed, the world has changed, adapting to new measures, measures albeit discomforting and couldn't have been deliberately conceded to. Indeed, its psychosocial appreciation has been undergone a reconfiguration, and indeed, it shan't remain the same again!
It is to say that the Covid-19 dilemma had come clutching a deep instructive package. There's a lesson this global phenomenon is teaching us about how we should live and appreciate life, about what sense of hygiene and health safety we should adopt, about how our social interaction should be and about the essence of sublime faith. There's definitely something the world wholistically needs to know at this point.
