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.
