Sino FileCoronavirus: China can’t suppress it, US military can’t kill it. Covid-19 is the real Godzilla
- The truth to emerge from the pandemic is that all humans share a common destiny, and we are embroiled in our biggest battle since World War II
- Only when the human race chooses to share, help, care, cooperate and support each other can we beat this enemy from nature
Never before has a pandemic or natural disaster had such a wide and deep impact on human life. Normal activity in the vast majority of nations has come to a halt, with massive school shutdowns, major events suspended or cancelled, most airlines grounded, many metro systems closed, cities locked down and national borders closed – not to mention the human casualties.
Covid-19 constitutes a potentially bigger external threat to mankind’s survival than any foe from within the species itself since the defeat of the Axis powers in 1945.
The outbreak also speaks volumes about the fact that humans are as vulnerable as any living creature on earth to Mother Nature’s wrath. Such vulnerability might be partly due to our innocence and ignorance and partly due to our complacency, thanks to the luxury afforded us by peace, affluence, cosiness of life, and the arrival of high technology.
