COVID‑19 is merely a harbinger of worse plagues to come.

Nature Fights Back

We can't expect to go on destroying our world without any consequences.More than half of earths species have been wiped out.We are daily destroying earths natural defenses, Rain-forests, ozone and polluting rivers and seas.We have put profit ahead of all other aspects of life.We have left 1% of our population control 90% of our worlds wealth and resources.We have deliberately kept countries and people in dire poverty in order for wealthier countries to thrive.The wealthy with the backing of governments deliberately keep the less well off under control by manipulating prices and rates.

Viruses have no value on wealth and position they attack everyone the same, however, its mainly poor, the feeble and non-whites that bear the brunt of its devastation.Those less well off don't have access to medical treatment that is reserved for the private and wealthy patients.We are all in this together.

We are heading into the greatest recession of all time and nobody knows the final outcome.One thing for sure it won't affect the wealthy.It will be up to the workers to pick up the pieces and begin again.Like all wars the ordinary person goes out to fight while the wealthy stay at home and profit from it.

Meanwhile, the Pandemic continues to spread rapidly.  

In recent decades, epidemics of SARS, MERS, Ebola, H1N1 flu, Zika, and monkey-pox showed the havoc that new and re-emergent pathogens could wreak.It takes just one transmissible virus to start a pandemic.Sometime in late 2019, the wrong virus left a bat and ended up, perhaps via an intermediate host, in a human—and another, and another. Eventually it found its way to the Huanan seafood market,
and jumped into dozens of new hosts in an explosive super-spreading event.
 
Our species has relentlessly expanded into previously wild spaces. Through intensive agriculture,
habitat destruction, and rising temperatures, we have uprooted the planet’s animals,
forcing them into new and narrower ranges that are on our own doorsteps. Humanity has squeezed the world’s wildlife in a crushing grip—and viruses have come bursting out.

In the age of cheap air travel, an outbreak that begins on one continent can easily reach the others.
SARS already demonstrated that in 2003, and more than twice as many people now travel by plane every year. To avert a pandemic, affected nations must alert their neighbors quickly. In 2003, China covered up the early spread of SARS, allowing the new disease to gain a foothold, and in 2020, history repeated itself.Travel bans make intuitive sense, because travel obviously enables the spread
 of a virus. But in practice, travel bans are woefully inefficient at restricting either travel or viruses.
They prompt people to seek indirect routes via third-party countries, or to deliberately hide their symptoms.And they can create a harmful false confidence, so countries “rely on bans to the exclusion of the things they actually need to do—testing, tracing, building up the health system.

It is hard to stare directly at the biggest problems of our age. Pandemics, climate change, the sixth extinction of wildlife, food and water shortages—their scope is planetary, and their stakes are overwhelming. We have no choice, though, but to grapple with them.
