Human race is defined by love, hugs,
kisses, social gatherings, passion and lot more emotions for it is the very essence
of our being. Microscopic virus has bought the entire human race to its knees and
is redefining the socials norms associated with all of us by imposing social
distancing with fear of being infected and health threat. The phrase “Six feet
apart is better than six below ground “is quite apt in the current prevailing situation
world over. Widespread isolation due the fear of pandemic is surely going to
distance us from each other and this is not a good sign at all.
Many are sitting alone in their
homes disconnected from real social contact and are having virtual meeting using
apps on laptops or smart phones. Initially it seems like fun but then after
sometime each of us will surely want to meet person to person and enjoy the
joys of togetherness and I hope it does happen soon. If not I am sure that loneliness
will be one of the major factors that would affect human race and it will have
far reaching consequences in mental health of humans. Fear of getting infected
will keep governing our actions such as not opening your house doors to
visitors or go out to places of gathering such as shops and so forth.
Coronavirus Covid19 has shown that none
of us are safe until all of us are safe. There are no longer cultural
hierarchies, economic immunities or economic privileges for any region, nation
or country. No country can win this fight on its own. Human race now understand
that their fate and future is tied to each one of us and if someone manages to
find a solution to contain or defeat the virus then the entire human race is
saved. A breakthrough in one part of the world would immediately be a
breakthrough for every other part of the world. Very few moments in history
offer us this sense of a joint mission or common goal for all mankind.
There is a sense of urgency in
finding possible vaccine or medication to help to fight the virus by almost all
countries be it China or UK or Canada or India or USA. There has been
considerable progress in the finding possible vaccine or medication, but then
there is a protocol that needs to be addressed to ensure that the medicine is
safe to be used on humans. But it is still an open question as to whether a
treatment or a vaccine will be found within a matter of months or if it will
take years.
We human in the meantime need to
take all necessary precautions to limit the spread of virus and also be mentally
strong and not succumb to fear and depressions. There is no doubt that this
pandemic has redefined ones priorities in life and there is no doubt in my mind
that each of us would be evaluating those priorities in the coming days.
Stay safe and pray that a treatment
or a vaccine is found fast .
