Post-Corona world - hopes for the future.

The world, almost 200+ countries , are experiencing a deep crisis now - the Covid 19 virus. Enough has been written about it and its impact, but none has tried to understand how the world will be affected and changed post-Corona.

We have seen deaths nearing about 80,000 across the world upto 8 April 2020, mainly in the United States, Italy, Spain, France and China. 94% of deaths around the world have happened in the top 15 infected countries.  Please click here .. United States leads the infection count which has crossed three hundred thousand till 8th April '20..

Does the future of this planet look bright, where is the world heading to ? Is there an end in sight soon ?  Imagine the grief in the homes, loss of productivity,  loss of global GDP ? Reports say a reduction in global GDP of about $2  trillion could be the economic damage from this crisis. 

Can we expect a major rethinking by the countries of the world on what constitutes global peace, prosperity, nuclear-deterrence and non-proliferation ?

Are the nations of the world ready with the renewed parameters that would decide economic growth, economic development and economic might of the new World ? Are we going to see a new set of countries of the world taking over the economic leadership of the world ? 

These are some of the questions which are ringing in the ears of almost all global citizens. Very soon we will come across a day when people will be working not for maximizing their profits or for maximizing their income but for the upliftment of fellow citizens, safety of our co-inhabitants on earth and betterment of social parameters of this world. It includes human beings and all living beings, ie. animals, plants, fishes, birds, reptiles and insects - to let the world grow and accommodate all living beings.

What can we propose, what should humanity do to protect the other living species on planet earth ? Our future is not independent of theirs. Let us hope the nations of the world take this seriously and put their brains to get to understand how the world should transform in the next two centuries.

To what extent can industries and organisations annually grow,  what constitutes fair growth and what is exploitative growth, what is corporate greed, what should be the annual progress of the planet,  a voluntary limit on exploitation of resources  whether our planet can be referred to any other planet as a model ? 

The new Corona type virus to hit the people of the world necessitates humanity to think of self regulating itself. Will humanity over-exploit Mother Earth of its resources and give the other living beings a run for their survival?  Will we wipe out the other species from planet earth ?

These are all questions which are being posed to humanity by nature.  What is the collective decision humanity is going to take so that such pandemics can be contained ?

I can think of only one permanent solution, stop over-exploitation of earth's resources. Stop being over-obsessed that the earth and it's resources, other life forms populating it  are only for promoting and propagating HOMO SAPIENS .. If we had taken enough care of other species on planet earth and come to appreciate that only working jointly we have a future, humanity would never have gone this far in destroying our ecosystem.

In short, LIVE AND LET LIVE !!
