The only
talk in the 21st century.
The Corona virus pandemic is wiping out
almost the entire human population. It is nicknamed COVID-19. It was
released from a lab in Wuhan, China.
This virus was predicted in a book called,
“The Eyes of Darkness” by Dean Koontz. He said that the virus was called
‘Wuhan-400’ because of its origin.
This invisible
virus has brought the entire world to a standstill. Unbelievable! Who would have
thought so? Even the World Wars did not bring such a drastic halt.
What happened
to our sweet world?
A curse of
technological advancement, some would say. Others would profess punishment from
the Almighty. Some avouch nature taking back control.
No matter
the theories being put up, the sad reality is that Corona has attacked us in
the most vile manners.
All the
airports in the world are closed down. International village quarantined at one
go.
Not a single
person can claim he is not affected.
Tourists are
being evacuated back to their respective countries. Schools have closed gates. Places
of worship, which in some places had recently become places where racial issues
would take birth have shut down.
Shopping centres
and eating galleries, the new family areas of gathering are deserted.
Cinemas and
theatres are only in crying moods.
Work places
have taken a downcast figure.
Parks and
garden are melancholic.
It actually
feels like one of those Sci-Fi movies my dad would watch.
Scientists
are relentlessly working to find a cure.
The infected
are being sent into quarantine, a depressing place considering one is sick and
would pray to be cherished by loved ones.
People have
panicked and are buying stocks of food. Everyone is keeping their distances and
are trying their best not to let the virus get the better of them.
People are
not allowed to leave their homes unless it is an emergency. A blessing we took too long for granted.
Washing hands
regularly, sending precautionary text messages and other safety measures are
being advertised.
Prayers are
being said more than ever and a solace is found there. The power of the Most
Powerful is being sought when all doors seem to have been closed.
A chaotic
environment is stressing everyone out. Student’s activities are being cancelled
and no one can assure families that infected patients can recover.
The lone
consolation is that at last Mother Nature is respiring .
Death is everywhere, yet, we all are joining
up as a unity, to fight and get rid of this virus once and for all.
Revival of
humanity is the basic lesson.

Totally agree with each and every point. Life has come to a standstill. Every one has started a new norm of life either through discovering their hidden talents or acquiring a new one. All have been following the rule of social distancing.
