How Covid-19 Transformed Our World

P C  THOMAS

Corona virus is a deadly menace that spreads disease in humans, animals and birds. The Latin word corona means crown. It is said that the name is derived from the fact that these viruses can be seen like a crown through electron microscope. However, these corona situations made many crowns in the human life and taught many lessons for the nations.  

What once we seemed so important for us in our life turns out to be the least important, and what seems to be least important seemed to be most important - that is also what the novel corona virus (COVID19) teaches us.

In Today’s modern world, many have said that the power is the great or the money is great, but we have now learned that these are not at all great amidst the virus. We have now seen radical changes taken place in the world due to corona virus and its effects.

Cities and streets are silent, marriage, festivals and meetings are postponed. All religious rituals regardless of all communities are confined in the mind of the individual. Churches, temples, mosque, pilgrim centers, tourist attractions, theaters, fitness centers, night clubs, beauty parlors saloons are shut until final notice. 

Public worship hitherto common has been reduced to personal observation. Airports are seen empty; voyage is prohibited. Crimes and killings have declined in the name of caste and creed, equality in cottage and the huts, mercy has increased in the world,  all places where the public assemble, state and country borders and even personal closeness have been made either naught or minimal to the core.  

However, there is no communal riot in the world, no car accidents, no pollution in the world, everyone in the world ate their own meals, there is time for those who don't have, everyone learned to live with what is and all people in the world extended their hands to the Original Creator.

In the midst of this, nations are proud of medical help and the fraternity at large. Big salute to Police force, doctors, nurses who are extending their noble to work without break in spite of the crisis and risk their own lives. Police personnel have been working tirelessly for protecting and helping people worldwide and we do not have words to express them enough.

What we can do during this pandemic is to do things right. All we have to do is take care of things with care.
