Coronavirus: New Plague of 21st Century

Coronavirus: New Menace To Society

This year began in a very interesting way, we almost had WW3 when President Trump decided to assassinate Gen Solemeni of Iran in Iraq and there were heighten tensions with Iran and afterwards this mysterious virus out of China starts infecting people left and right and people started dying like flies then it spread to other parts of Asia then to Europe and the rest of the world.

What is the Coronavirus? Where did it come from? And why are people scared of it?  The Coronavirus according to the WHO and CDC is a respiratory virus that infects the lungs and causes major lung damage to the point that people cannot breathe and people just die from the lack of oxygen. The virus has been linked from two sources a Bat that passed along the virus to the Pangolin and it passed on to humans through the consumption of Pangolin Meat. 

In China there was a lucrative market for Wildlife both legal and illegal, since the 1970s China made many economic reforms where people were able to buy and sell Wildlife and many people raised many animals for its meat and for traditional Chinese Medicine. The Wet Markets that China had weren't up to code in hygiene, many of these animals were boxed as sardines in a can in cages many of them in very deplorable conditions, many of these animals were sick, many died being in those cages and the people handling these animals weren't using the proper safety guards such as masks or gloves and many of those workers got sick. 

The Coronavirus is the biggest plague and deadliest disease in the 21st Century because of the magnitude of the severity of this disease. It's highly contiguous to the point that people have to self quarantine and people can be near each other or touch each other. 

It's also had an economical impact as well, many non essential businesses have shut down putting millions of people out of work, social ramifications people cannot be outside in large numbers due to risk of infection and the people suffering the most are the elderly, people with pre-existing conditions and the homeless. 

Because of greed and selfishness of others millions of people are paying for this virus many with their lives, the immoral and unethical treatment of animals and the cruelty these animals have been facing for the consumption of their meat is beyond appalling. I believe the Chinese Government has realized too late what this virus has done and it could lead to their downfall if they don't get their act together. 

I believe this virus will unite people both enemies and allies to fight a common cause against a common enemy, Coronavirus knows no borders, race, creed, political affiliation or economic status or caste its affecting everyone. We are all human beings and God's children and now we will be judged how we treat one another.
