We are forced now to face reality of an increasingly crowded planet with scarce resources fast depleting, and now for some reason finger pointing towards the Chinese is trending. As if that’s going to save the world. As if that’s going to find a cure. Maybe for COVID-19 in 6 months of this posting. What about the next virus we will stumble on to? What if this next one emanates from the U.S. or heaven forbids even maybe Jerusalem? Then how?
Look to the U.S. for global leadership? Not going to happen under Trump. He is no Mr Global. Maybe he can tweet us to boredom, and like a lullaby we sleep forever. Maybe less painful than to be woken up at 3 am to read his bullshit.
So where will the leadership come from? Maybe this is a test for China’s new role or even Japan. Whoever is prepared to make the sacrifices and genuinely try to contribute to a solution and a more permanent cure for the Earth’s many ailments, this new Mr Right will appreciate that the viruses are not caused by any single factor, but are symptomatic of the many unattended root causes of the sure and steady decay of Mother Earth.
Michael Jackson was right. It starts and ends with the man in the mirror.
I agree totally. America is keeping their doctors and scientists at home instead of sending them to China to help, despite what their President says. Talk is cheap.
ReplyDeleteYes! Japan should take a lead role. For many things, we have zero defects.
ReplyDeleteI think this blog help us see the bigger picture. They were blaming indians for a while as well. I wonder who are the greatest polluters and the cause of most diseases.
ReplyDeleteJustvlike HIV ,cancer,heart attack, etc, the covid-19 pandemic is a global problem and not a China or an Asian problem. The governments of the world must work together and not just depend on the affected countries to find their own solution to this problem.
ReplyDeleteWell said! 👍🏻👏🏻
ReplyDeletethis covid-19 is just a small problem. the bigger problem is that the world leaders are failing.......
ReplyDeleteChina needs self-inspection. Isn't Wuhan also the centre of microgerm research within China?

ReplyDeleteThe coronavirus problem started in China, it is still not solved. It is getting scary now.
ReplyDeleteCan’t believe US is doing nothing.
ReplyDeleteYour prediction and prognosis is correct. It is China that has come out with tge first cure/vaccine and they say it can go to market by September. And it is Japan that is taking the lead on a global role to control this virus. The US is totally lost as President Trump just admit that it is out of control in the US.
ReplyDeleteWuhan City has higest number of recovered coronavirus patients and the city is now reopened. Europe (Italy, Spain) and USA now have higher number of coronavirus infections than China. We can be global leader to help the world, many people need help now.
