It was indeed like a nightmare when we became acquainted with this fugitive bug that infected and mercilessly killed millions of innocent people across the world. Many apprehensions have already been reflected in depth on the vast protocol of coronavirus and its predicament on our way of life.
Recently, the anxiety and awful consequences of the infection started declining while the bug is on the verge of extinction. Every bio element that appears on earth has its own life span and then disappears based on its genetic nature. There are many such known and unknown micro-organisms on this planet that are both useful and harmful to human life. It’s truly amazing to know the impact of this tiny invisible microbe that has become powerful enough to rewrite the history of mankind.
A widespread civic transformation took place in the entire humanity as a result of this outbreak; one of the most highly contagious diseases the world has ever seen. Public liberty and exuberant social freedoms enjoyed at large within the delightful avenues of life have been veered to sheer confinement. Scientists and medical experts are still under pressure as they have a long way ahead to discover a suitable remedy to eradicate and unveil the mysteries of this virus.
The Health Ministry in Bahrain proactively declared war against the bug and a war room was established at once to effectively combat it. The government was well prepared and cautious enough not to take any serious measures that would impede the very fundamental forces of the economy.
During this dreadful season the rhythm of the global economy was derailed; leading to ethical dilemmas for governments and health care systems. All major industries slashed production. The dominant use of power and fuel stumbled. Vehicles abandoned the highways and streets appeared almost empty. Cross border tourism, the biggest FX earning industry and its associate trades, perished. Wings of flights were put to relax in fleets at the airfield. Widespread lay-offs across nations forced men to stay idle at home. Wages and salaries remained partially outstanding. Availability of money and purchasing power dropped. Bustling malls turned shelving spaces for commodities. Virtual schooling assumed importance whilst children were confined to TV shows and mobile games within the four walls of their dwelling. Social media gained dominance while video conferencing and Internet calls flourished. Market instability kept investors aloof from speculation. Banks slashed interest rates to motivate their businesses.
And all these changes indicate symptoms of a great civic transformation yet to come. Let’s believe that this strange bug has a prominent role in changing the destiny of the world. Goodbye Corona! Hope you have completed the task of refinement, as you triumphantly prepare your way in silence to leave from the face of the earth.
