India & d CORONA Pandemic

In d beginning of d 3rd decade of ds 21st century, whole world is struggling with a new type of Virus i.e. Novel Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19); although d Virologists r already aware of ds Virus family as ds Corona virus is genetically related to d one dt caused SARS & MERS in 2003 & 2012 respectively. The SARS epidemic primarily affected d area of China & Hong kong and d MERS coronavirus ws limited in d vicinity of Middle East; bt d current outbreak of Corona virus is global and it can spread too far & too fast. The virus is so contagious dt after being detected in patient0 in d month of DEC19 in Wuhan, d whole China was affected very badly with ds infection within a month & not only China it had drastically spread to all over the world very soon.  
Some Chinese health officials said dt d virus death toll cud hv been lower if d govt. had "acted sooner". As per Media reports, during initial weeks of d outbreak d Chinese govt. tried to hide d actual figures of dead people & whistleblowers speaking up abt d coronavirus outbreak hv been disappearing suspiciously. Countries like USA, Germany & Israel r condemning China by saying dt ds is not a natural virus whereas it's a biological weapon prepared by China wch had been accidentally leaked by a lab technician. Last year USA-China trade war was a big highlight in d news wn Donald Trump had imposed several economic restrictions on Chinese companies working in America like Chinese tech-giant Huawei. This might instigate Xi Jinping to built such an offensive weapon as a tool to combat ds battle b/w two Superpowers. A detailed & non-aligned investigation is required in ds matter.
USA is criticizing WHO for it's late response in declaring ds virus as a Pandemic & being biased towards China & threatening to freeze d UN agency's funding. Deze allegations can't b ignored like many other false statements of d American president as China had played a key role while electing d current WHO chief Mr. Tedros Adhanom & China has been steadily increasing it's funding to WHO. Bt d person who is nw accusing WHO ws himself failed to recognize d intensity of ds virus resulting d highest no of people being infected in USA & d figures terribly keeps on increasing. 
Unlike deze super developed nations like America & European countries, d so called "3rd world country" India has amazed d world during ds Pandemic. On one hand dere were nations like Communist China whose leadership was busy in hiding d facts & still prohibiting d research work on Coronavirus to hide it's intentional involvement in outbreak of ds virus, USA whose business-minded president who cudn't tk d daring step of a complete lockdown due to d fear of Economy collapse, d Catholic Italy who cudn't even stop his flights to China upto 31st Jan despite d fact dt China had been adversely affected from ds virus since d month of December, d other rich Europian countries too cudn't save their people despite having world class health infrastructure & mostly a high-class sophisticated educated population; on d contrary dere ws a poor developing country India having limited health resources, highest population in which two-thirds of people r living in poverty, struggling with illiteracy, unemployment & lack of basic health facilities... bt despite having all deze obstacles  Indian democratic leadership had taken d courageous decision of lockdown at a very early stage of ds outbreak in India & thus saved millions of lives & hence making it's title "Vishwa-Guru" more significant.
Sm intellectuals hv been criticizing our PM for his daring steps like Demonetization & GST dt he didn't pre-plan for anything & tk sudden overnight decisions dt later become very hard to digest by d population as Indians r not habitual with ds style of working. Bt ds time Modi government made all it's critics speechless as implementing lockdown of 135Cr people with so diversity in population is not dt easy whr cast, religion, social & educational status varies not only among different states bt in d district itself. In our country each state is as big as an European country & we Indians continuously keep engaged in different festivals & functions throughout d year so being lockdown in our homes seems a tough task for us. Bt our Central government has set such a benchmark in dealing with ds Pandemic dt it had encouraged all d state governments to work harder & face ds emergency together regardless any political differences.  Ds kind of Cumulative effort of our Central & State governments has never seen before dt led to control ds infection within a much more lesser extent as compared to America or Europe & ds is d reason dt nw d whole world along with WHO has been gazing towards India with a new hope.
Meanwhile sm opposition leaders r claiming dt ds lockdown will hit d Indian economy, for dm i must say dt Economy cud b re-lived again bt d lives of our people can not.

  1. Blog is excellent and specially Your statement in the last is 100% correct and genuine that "Economy cud b re-lived again bt d lives of our people can not" No doubt "India is great" thats why The Indian flag was projected on the Matterhorn mountain in Switzerland, in “hope and strength to all Indians”, in light of the current coronavirus pandemic.
