Amid Covid-19: Coronavirus and it’s Emerging Realities -By Onawola Abdulqodri Adewale

Prior to the out break of coronavirus pandemic, the world entirely has been fascinating the benefits of modern age in all human affairs. Lives were easy, no kind of restrictions in carrying out necessary activities. Human administrations including economic operations are carried out around the world in an amazing manner.

Ever since the out break of coronavirus pandemic also referred to as “COVID-19” pandemic which is indeed a global emergence, there have been vigorous distractions to the living of Humanity and its Administrations.

Covid-19 emerged with all these vigorous distractions despite the level of Human developments and experiences. These distractions find their places into the lives of Humans around the world because the nature of any pandemic is beyond taking lives but also it demeans the achievements and developments of Humanity.

It is quite amazing that COVID-19 could shake the world’s powerful and respected countries without leaving the developing countries aside. Coronavirus has been traced to originated from China, precisely, a location known as “Wuhan” and with its rapid spread, it becomes a pandemic.

At this very special point in the lives of Humans around the world, it wouldn’t be believed if a statement was divulged that there could be a virus that would energetically shake Human Race. The real sense of it is like a superordinate which has co_ hyponymy.

The fear of God grips Humans, The treat of Global Recession and in the same vein, Humans around the world learn to Manage time, Benefits of reserved resources and human relations whether financially or other mediums. The pressing developments around the world are “The fear of God, Threat of Global Recession, and the pleasant development which is Human feelings and relations”.

FEAR OF GOD

Covid-19 is an unseen enemy or referred to as an invisible enemy to the Human Race. It is contagious in nature which can be contracted via unexpected mediums. It could be contacted via contaminated surfaces by a victim of the virus, social contacts, contaminated airflow, and others.

Believers around the world irrespective of Religion are aware of how deadly the virus is and serve as a hindrance in executing the Religious rites at this very moment. Nobody is safe; it doesn’t matter whether preventive measures are adopted or not, this is reasonable because the virus is invisible.

The huge total number of people dying around the world as a result of the virus is making it explicit that the rest of us with no traces of the virus are fascinating the blessings of God. The question is: people affected by COVID-19, are they not aware of the virus or don’t they practice the preventive measures? Of course, they are aware of the virus and they practice the preventive measures. In China, for instance, discharged patients of coronavirus happen to contract the virus again as two months ago when the virus was in its full form.

At this very moment, religious Leaders irrespective of religion urge believers to beseech Almighty God, seek forgiveness, seek mercy and protection against the virus. Some say:” The virus is man-made” but nothing happens without the knowledge of God.

THE POSSIBILITY OF GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS

In order to curb the spread of the virus, countries deemed it fit to restrict all activities which would affect the World Market. The possibility of Global Recession is buttressed with the words of Experts saying that covid_19 has torn apart the world economy and Recession is possible.

Many countries including Nigeria are under lockdown to curb the spread of the virus. More than 3.21 million people worldwide have contracted the virus and more than 200,000 are dead, giving birth to Recession in the global economic activities.

The warnings come as the Eurozone economy looks set for its deepest Recession on record and the British economy is expected to experience a loss. It shows, being predicted by experts around the world that the Eurozone would be hard disrupted and contract by 5.3 percent.

The economies of EU members would also be affected including Italy with the fragile Economy is expected to shrink by 7 percent. The economic situation in Germany is expected to shrink by 6.6 percent due to the virus, France’s economy would contract 5 percent, Spain’s Economy would shrink by 3.4 percent; these analyses are in line with the work of “INFO INSTITUTE”.

European countries enforced lockdown to curb the spread of the virus but it has cost the job of millions and Governments are borrowing recorded amounts of money just to keep their economy active until the restrictions are eased. UK economy would flop by 3.6 percent as businesses across the services divisions shut shops as millions of Britons feel the economic hardships.

In the same vein, the US economic Recession looks to be worse than expected a few weeks ago. The US labor Market where unemployment was near historic lows before the pandemic has been negatively disrupted in the sense that all the provisions made available have been wiped out within a month due to the coronavirus pandemic. Economic conditions in Countries like Japan, Brasil, China, India are predicted contract flops with a particular portion of percentage due to the virus.

HUMAN RELATION

Coronavirus pandemic on a positive perspective has encouraged Humans to show love and caring for one another amid this COVID-19 period. Countries around the world curb the spread of the virus with the enforcement of Lockdown and restrictions on all human activities.

In developing countries where lockdown is enforced on the citizens, Governments provide the needs for the citizens but in some cases, the provided needs are insufficient. This kind of situation calls for intervention from philanthropists because the needs of their neighbours need to be catered for. These individuals provide relief materials for citizens to sustain them and prevent them from being starved.

In every situation, there would be a lesson to derive which means:” No matter the condition, when carefully observed, there would be something important to derive from it”. Coronavirus pandemic has claimed the lives of thousands but on the other hand, it landed positive changes in the behaviours, attitudes, appearances, and knowledge of Humans.

Coronavirus virus pandemic attempted to shake the growth of Humanity but now, with pleasant reports in China, coronavirus will be eradicated. With the words of the WHO officials that say:” The world should learn from China’s success over COVID-19″. Several emerging realities and developments have occurred worldwide at this very moment.
