This is Not The First Time

The pandemic that is threatening the world nowadays Covid19, has been identified as the cause of an outbreak of viral pneumonia in Wuhan, China. The disease that has infected nearly two million people and blow off the lives of more than one hundred thousand people. It is emerged and spread like a wild fire. The world has been in a panic since as it is the disease that globe has not been prepared for. The reason sounds like a joke, a statement of an alien being. This reason reminds every human of its good old school days when they always promise themselves to study the whole session not a night before the paper. Because it is not first time when such type of pandemic catches the globe in its iron hands. After being criticized for a slow response to SARS, China is once again facing global scrutiny for its handling of the new corona virus.

By the time the global SARS outbreak was contained, the virus spread to over 8,000 people worldwide and killed almost 800. It has been 17 years since a respiratory virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) appeared in China. Within months, SARS spread to more than two dozen countries in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. At that time, the Chinese government was criticized for responding slowly to the outbreak and concealing the seriousness of the illness.

Now, a new respiratory illness has emerged in China. Like SARS, it’s caused by a corona virus, this one known as SARS-CoV-2. This new virus causes an illness known as COVID-19, with symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath. There’s currently no specific antiviral treatment or vaccine for it.

 The outbreak of this virus has already surpassed SARS and is expected to continue to grow. The world should learn from its mistakes. The world should take some measure to avoid such pandemics and ban china for the practices it is doing like, eating wild animals and especially bats which are biggest reason for these outbreaks. Bats are animal which are natural carrier of viruses although they are immune to these viruses but in contact with humans its very deadly, if they are difficult to avoid, should have training programs to minimize the death rates, and risk of spreading. Because this not the first time that such type of novel disease has left the mankind breathless.

Save the Nature

Save the Nature Nature is the creation of Allah, who is Almighty of all and everything. I think every living being in this world cannot live without nature. So, when need to protect it, we started damaging it with our factories, nuclear waste, plastic and especially by developing big metropolitan cities on the land of forests without planting new trees. We have destroyed our forests and green lands which were necessary for our atmosphere and are the important part of our Eco system, to protect us from dangerous heatwaves from the sun, to maintain the balance, to protect the animal Eco system, which we have tried to end with our thirst for power. We had put many of the species on the brink of extinction. As a god’s Favorite creation we were assigned the task to maintain the balance among every living being on this planet which is also very necessary for our lives. But due to our cruel thinking and nature we have destroyed it with our own hands. We are racing aga...

By
For kids five and up If you're stuck at home trying to keep the kids entertained and educated, you've now got one more online resource to draw on – Google just launched a Read Along app for  Android  that helps kids over five with their reading.
