CORONA - THE OBJECTIVE DEMON (Part 1)

We know that Corona virus (2019- nCoV) was detected in December 2019. This was espied earlier in the mid-1960s and are noticed to infect humans and a variety of others animals (including birds and mammals).  Since 2002, two corona viruses infecting animals have evolved and caused outbreaks in humans: SARS-CoV (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) identified in southern China in 2003, and MERS-CoV (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome), identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012 (https://novel-coronavirus.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/). But now this virus has now subverted the economy, lifestyle, environment, survival and other aspects are misshapen around the whole country leaving it in agony. The state & the central governments, NGOs and many social activists at breakneck pace are however undertaking activities by holding the huge responsibility to help the inhabitants to cope up with the epidemic.  In fact it is quite distinct to see the proposal of “ethical precautionary principle” i.e. in order to protect from the disease at the workplaces the government has suggested that those with low or no titers of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, will not be allowed to return to work until there is herd immunity or they are vaccinated, anyhow this process is prolonged and is to be very extortionate. Consequently, the medical challenge here is to develop a standardized antibody titer test that is accessible to all and is scientifically accurate which will take months to develop. In order to examine the workers whether they are infected or not, there are many technological advancements that is seen as a threat or a violation that infringes the privacy of the person. Despite that it has to be regarded that the examination is essential in order to protect the welfare of the other fellow workers and the surrounding. It is irrefutable that India has not yet reached the stage 3 for which the global lock down is of convenience which averts community spread. The central government has now allotted 1.7 lakh stimulus package till now despite which we observe unemployment rates soaring and within this three week lock-down, the circumstance has begotten about 7-8 lakh crores in India. People are showing their reactions to the outburst of this epidemic in both positive and negative nuances. They are also indulging in undeniable activities as a sign of humanity in a way where they avail this lock-down period to put off the population to palliate the fears associated with the news items on corona virus. Apart from this are the inceptions of conspiracy theories that are observed with the misguided rumours in relation to this deadly virus on its notion and causative agents. To name a few, 5G waves messing with the lives of the human beings and being held responsible for the outbreak which the scientists claimed it as a “world famous fake news” ; Corona virus being a bio weapon which was manually created in the virology labs outside Wuhan ; the seafood markets liable for the spread of this virus ; few even claimed that the outbreak was nothing but a hype created by the social media and funnily this even went to the extent of where the famous animated series “The Simpsons” which is known to predict several major incidents around the world before even they happened to have predicted about this disease.
