Just like a nightmare so has the novel COVID-19 (Corona virus) induced pandemic befallen mankind at the time when no one expected. Many have claimed that COVID-19 was born in December of 2019 precisely in Wuhan, China, others still argue that it has been existing long before the index case was reported. Be it as it may, we all have to come to terms that the pandemic has befallen mankind regardless of when it all started.
Many call it Corona Virus but I call it 'The Record Breaker'?. Yes you got me right, The Record Breaker! Never before has the whole world faced such economic recession as it is now in a time where the world is in a state of absolute peace. Here are some facts and trustworthy predictions to consider:
- The United States of America is currently facing its worst economic backlash since the great depression of 1929 to 1933 (4 years of economic disaster). In the past few months more than 36 million Americans have filed for unemployment (The worst in U.S history). Now what? The U.S is officially in recession all thanks to 'The Record Breaker'
- Oil price has drastically dropped; the lowest in the world's history
- Analyst predict that inflation rate will go very high in few months and the price of commodities will become unbearable.
- Global GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth was estimated to be only 2.5% in 2020.
- More than 20% of the world's population will lose their jobs as many businesses will go out of business. Even after the pandemic, buoyant business will find it difficult to thrive because demand for good and services will drop drastically.
- Many potential students will be forced to stop schooling some because of the fear of being infected, some because their sponsors or parents will lose financial stability and yet others because they don't see hope of getting a job after completing their studies.
The streets are empty, cinemas are shut, banks are closed, schools have forcefully gone on vacation, people are wailing and are afraid of contracting the virus. With more than 10 Million recorded cases worldwide, the numbers still keep increasing by the minute and no one knows who is the next in line to be confirmed COVID-19 positive.
Right from the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, the World Health Organisations have issued out guidelines which should be followed to prevent the spread of this virus - wash your hands regularly with soap and water, avoid physical contact, practice social distancing, avoid crowded spaces, stay at home if you feel sick even with a slight fever or cough, put on Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) and so on...
The proposed guidelines have and is still being faithfully followed by all the countries of the world yet, the number of cases are on the increase with the total number of cases reaching 10.7 Million (approximately 60,000 cases per day) in the last 7 months. I am then forced to ask, what are we not doing right, does it then mean that the proposed precautions by the W.H.O are not good enough? Well, to answer that I'll say 'Yes".
👭👭THE UNTOLD TRUTH...👬👬
COVID-19 has been dwelling in our planet for quite some time now and it is evident that man's effort to curtail the virus is not yielding positive results. Who could have imagined that the President of the world's most powerful nation, Donald Trump (the president of U.S) would make a statement advising the whole world to drink bleach in a bid to kill the virus? This goes to show how frustrated and confused the world leaders are. The whole world have been humbled by a very small microbe that has bastardized human intelligence and threatened the fate of the generations yet unborn and it is high time the world realized that another means by which COVID-19 is rapidly spreading is through the use and sharing of public toilets and bathrooms. Yes, you got me right, people do all sorts in public toilets that can trigger a rise in the spread of this virus, if you don't think so, think deeper!
