COVID-19 Outbreak: Nature has played a wonderful game with all of us! (COVID-19 : Story 1)

Ahmedabad, March 27 2020: Nature has played a wonderful game with all of us! Within few days Nature controlled over all our mischief / misbehaviour / wrong doings. Man created with huge expenses - Roads, transport facilities, bus transportation, railways, airplanes and now all are useless – it cost nothing at all!

Having taken the human race hostage for four months, nature indirectly stated, "This earth is the shared property of all creatures; it is not for humans alone."

Wherever I am (human) - in USA, in India, in Sudan, in Italy, in China - Whoever I am Christian, Hindu, Muslim or anybody – Whatever my position a Prime Minister or a Big Business Tycoon or Hollywood Hero or a Small Sweeper – I become One Man – I speaks one language only - Corona.

Nature showed us our place and told us “Do not go against the laws of nature, otherwise things will not be natural i.e Beside the Point. Nature has united us the humanity, Nature has united the world. Right now, we are experiencing global unity – global solidarity - And we started helping each-other with the best capacity, without any borders and boundaries, without any religion, without any position.  

Global Solidarity started when 2019 Novell Coronavirus has got new name COVID19. Viruses are named based on their genetic structure to facilitate the development of diagnostic tests, vaccines and medicines. WHO announced “COVID-19” as the name of this new disease on 11 February 2020, guidelines previously developed with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

Indian government has started massive preventive campaigns using different means of communications. It went well when PM Modi has announced India stay indoor for 1 day with the name ‘Janta Curfew’ and then 21-days lockdown to control and curb the coronavirus spread which is the human touch deadly disease. On 13 March 2020 WHO and UN Foundation has started first of its kind COVID-19 solidarity response fund and soon after on 15 March 2020 PM Modi has urged SAARC nations to donate fund and announced India’s initiation with $10 million contribution offers.

World Wide Economic Slow Down - Back to Nature Economic Law

Control is the key word. The slow down of economic triggered by United States economic slow down has come to a head that we should stop running for a while and start reviewing what’s wrong with this global picture.

United States dominate world’s economic for decades, after the end of cold war and the falling of Berlin’s wall, the domination by US was unstoppable and forced strategic decision of Euro currency to balance US economic power. In Asia, China was rapidly evolving into new economic strength of the east.

What about the rest of countries? Some are feeling secure with their closed economic policy like India, but for most of others, they are strongly dependable on giants. This is the nature of economic connectivity.

So, what is wrong with this picture if this condition is the nature of global economic? For illustration, what will happen if you drive a car and you are not so sure when to hit the brake or to slow down your vehicle? You may survive but you may also not survive, don’t you think? It depends on external situation, whether the street is narrow or wide, the traffic is crowded or not, and many more. But the clue is, those all are out of your control.

One fact of nature, our heart takes only little volume of blood and distributes the most of it to our body. I believe that most of us agree that heart is a crucial part and irreplaceable function (not organ) to keep us alive. Please don’t ask me the percentage of blood in human heart, but for you, doctor in economic can verify the truth of my statement to medical doctor.

Economic giants such as US should aware that they have grown into over grown or in other words, obesity economic stage. US dollar currency is being used as international payment standard and it makes distribution of US dollar as big as 60% traveling abroad. It is as simple as against the nature of law. In this case is the economic nature of law.

While US are loosing control of their rapid growth, they are facing external factor named “Market”. Now days are not an old story when one single giant dominate the world, now is not the time for competition and domination. Now is the day when we should unite the world as cooperation and interaction, regardless our personal differences. We shall believe in the best for all, not only for giants and their alliances.

To be a better giant, just as simple as follow the path of the nature has teach us.
