At the moment, human beings are joining hands in an intense battle against a newly- born Coronavirus, which has been intimidating humankind since its existence.
However
, many people critique
this
pandemic as an effective antidote to the painful wounds that Mother Nature is incurring. From my personal perspective,
although
the virus is definitely a spectre to our existence, it simultaneously helps revitalize the original pristine of nature to a certain extent.
In the
first
place, the Corona crisis has obviously taken an unprecedented toll on the whole mankind. In fact,
this
species of virus is notoriously known for its rapid proliferation, which causes the infection cases to multiply at a soaring rate. Indeed, within 5 months since its
first
case, there have been over
two
million recorded victims, spreading over
two
hundred nations in the world.
Although
its fatality rate is not serious compared to other deadly diseases
such
as Ebola, the virus
also
results in nearly
two
hundred thousand deaths.
In addition
to the health hazard that
this
virus poses, the world is now teetering on the brink of a global economic depression. Now that the majority of international tradings are abandoned during Corona time, and national business activities are
also
halted, it is a local economy that suffers due to a lack of produced revenues and pressure on social welfare. Generally speaking, the Corona pandemic has dealt a severe blow to citizens' well- being and global economy.
Secondly
,
this
Corona time affords human a sobering thought on their devastation on the environment. Specifically, a policy called " Social Distancing" is practiced in many countries, which insists on people staying at home and keeping proper distances from others. As a consequence, the traffic volumes in urban zones have substantially declined, leading to a significant reduction in air, noise pollution and subsequent improvement in the environmental index.
For example
, in Delhi and Mumbai,
two
of India's metropolises, witness a metamorphosis in the city landscape before and after Corona- prevention measures.
In contrast
to their heavily polluted pre- Covid19 images, the air quality is discernibly higher, and city beauty spots become clearer in sight when social distancing takes effect. Clearly enough, the pandemic causes people to reappraise the detrimental impact they have imposed on the entire ecosystem.
In conclusion, despite being an obvious threat to humankind, the Corona crisis is
also
a startling wake in our conscience about the currently wounded environment. It is unknown whether
this
crisis will be resolved in the near future,
nonetheless
, preventative measures should be strictly observed in order to restrict the scale of
this
catastrophe.
