The mysterious Corona Virus COVID-19 is a pandemic, Within its initial two months it has done more damage than any war could. An airline in Australia has shut down. Shipping has slowed down. All spectator sports all over the world have stopped. Most of TV hours were devoted just to show all kind of main sporting events. Cinema halls are empty, studios are not making new films. Theatres are very cautious about stage shows. Some permanently shut down if any one in a theatre company dies of COVID=19.
Workers cannot reach factories, manufacturing has slowed down. For people who have no savings, cannot find jobs because many offices and factories are closed. Our parents' generation was the lucky generation. Everything was running smoothly, it was a matter of routine. In that generation all the manufacturing was done. The sky was filled with all kinds of aircraft. Trade was going normally. Travel and tourism was going on without problems.
Now all that is beginning to look like a distant dream. Everyone has to stay at home. But those who have started starving, are either going to beg, find the menial kind of jobs, just to survive. People are more likely going to die of starvation than the disease itself.
In our parents' generation, medical research was done in finding treatments and cures for all kinds of diseases. Now all resources are devoted towards finding a treatment for the pandemic. Hospitals are running out of supplies. Many countries do not have the resources and the money to cope with the pandemic.
