COVID-19: A BLESSING IN DISGUISE FOR INDIA!


The pandemic of COVID-19 started in 2019 and destroyed 2020 that no one wanted to happen. People are being affected in a huge number and are being killed by this tiny virus in Lakhs of numbers. But why it’s China, making all these diseases grow first? What is the history of eating everything in China? will any other virus grow like this Coronavirus? Why this disease became more dangerous than SARS, Swine Flu, etc.? Why World Health Organization (WHO) became so careless in different cases of COVID-19? Will this pandemic bring new possibilities for India?

Let’s discuss all these…..


CHINA BEING FIRST


China, the largest country in population, is the 1st country that was encountered the pandemic of COVID-19 disease. It is not the 1st time that China was the 1st country to introduce a new viral disease to the world that later on became the headache of the whole world. Before this, the SARS outbreak (2002), Human Avian flu (1997) (H5N1 virus) are the most important ones. Every time the Chinese government seized the wet markets of its country but later on they have withdrawn this and started consuming the meat of different animals continuously.

WET MARKET IN CHINA


What are these wet markets? Wet markets are the markets where the raw meat of different wild, as well as domestic animals, are sold cutting them fresh at that place for which the market remains wet always with the blood and water. The city of Wuhan has one of the largest wet markets in China. But why these animals are so much famous to eat in the country of China? to understand this, we have to go to the history of China where the culture of eating everything in China started.

WHY CHINA EATS EVERYTHING?


Let’s come to the history of China. We know that China is a Communist country. In the years of 50s, When America started helping China to make it the manufacturing hub for many American companies, at that time the Chinese government dragged the land of common people without their permission and lots of people became landless. They had nothing to eat, no place to live, even nothing to drink as well. They had no money and no source for income. Then they started living in villages and started eating wild animals and marine animals. As they had nothing to eat, they started eating them alive. But the real problem was to find an income source. So they decided to make the meat business their chief business. But now, the question was, whether the wild animals’ meat business will go rise to its peak or not? There started a new era of the raw meat business in china.

At that time, the particular group of Chinese people who were planning to start the live animal and raw meat business started spreading so many rumors about consuming the freshly cut raw meat that eating different types of animals will help people for the developing immunity as they have different effects on it and this is still being followed in the traditional Chinese medical science. Also, there is a belief that these fresh raw meats and live animals will make young people more powerful. So the business of the wild animals and live animal dishes started getting famous and the business went up. Till now, eating wild animals is considered a symbol of wealth because they are more rare and expensive. And the wild animal is also considered more natural and, thus, nutritious, compared to farmed meat. So the wild animal dishes are so much famous in China. Some of the wild animals that are taken as delicious food by the Chinese people are hedgehogs, peacocks, wild rabbits, snakes, deer, crocodiles, so many types of birds, insects, and a huge variety of marine animals like the live octopus, etc. These animals are the house of different microbes and some of those microbes are highly mutagenic. Those microbes sometimes start mutating in the human body and cause different diseases that become very hard to cure and find out vaccines for them.


“WHO” BECAME CARELESS!


WHO succeeded in the cases of SARS, MERS, Swine flu, etc. because in all these disease outbreaks, WHO took part actively and could tackle the diseases, but why it failed this time in COVID-19?

WHO remained silent when the COVID-19 started spreading inside China. It did not support the reports of Dr. Li Wenliang who 1st identified the Coronavirus that is not similar to the SARS virus. Taiwan is a country that is under the threat of China because China says that it’s not an independent country and Taiwan belongs to them. Taiwan proved COVID-19 is transmitted from human to human and gave a report to the WHO about it. But, under the influence of China, WHO ignored the proof of human-to-human transmission of this disease and carelessly let the disease spread more by not declaring this fact. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of WHO said that the increasing fear about the COVID-19 will be lethal to the public. It criticized the seize of international flights very earlier when it was starting to spread to other countries than China. WHO has also been delay in declaring this disease as Pandemic. All those were the faults of WHO that showed carelessness of it towards COVID-19. But why was this carelessness?

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of WHO is an Ethiopian and serving in this position since 2017. He was also the Health Minister of Ethiopia from 2005 to 2012 and foreign affairs minister from 2012 to 2016. China has a great influence on Ethiopia in so many aspects like the military and economy. When the disease outbreak took place in china for the 1st time, it wanted to hide this from the world, and WHO helped China to do this. This carelessness of WHO is now showing the results of this deadly pandemic. So, the American government now stopped funding WHO which is the largest funding among all other countries. That’s why the question now arises about the further existence of WHO that will it be able to help the countries of the world in health aspects further?


HOW INDIA IS GOING TO BE BENEFITED


Do you know about the cold war that was going on in the 50s and 60s between America and USSR? Both of them were trying to make themselves the most powerful country in the world. At that time America was trying to make most of the countries democratic. On the other side USSR was trying the opposite i.e. it was trying to make the countries communist. We all know that America and USSR were used to be the most powerful countries in the world at the time of the 50s and 60s i.e. the time of the cold war between them. Both of them wanted to defeat each other in all aspects like economy, military, education, and all. America is a democratic country and Russia is a communist. America noticed that China is a very big country and a communist one, as well as the border of these two countries, are connected. So America decided to help China with its development and in reply it made it promise to be a democratic country in the future. America provided so many companies to make their manufacturing hub in China. It started funding China in every aspect and started developing it. But in the future, China refused to be a democratic country. It remained a communist one. So then, America stopped helping China. China was not so much well in its economy but it is now one of the most emerging countries i.e. economically the 2nd largest country in the world.

But now, during COVID-19, when everyone is complaining against China, America is trying to counter this country as it’s now being a new threat to the world. Because, nowadays, China is economically growing at a rapid rate. This country can cross the economy of America by 2030 and can make other countries depend so much upon him. So America is now trying to help a country nearest to it and it is INDIA. India is in the 5th position economically in the whole world and has a good youth power. So, Michael R. Pompeo, the U.S. State Secretary has declared to help India for its development. The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (U.S.I.D.F.C.) has declared to invest 350millions US dollars to develop the private companies in INDIA with very low interest and with good transparency, especially in the fields of renewable energy like solar energy as solar energies and small business in India is unable to get loans with a small interest in which they are unable to grow good in the country.

China always applies its Debt Trap Loan system in developing countries. It has invested so much in Indian companies like Paytm etc. So to encounter this Debt Trap Loan system of China, USIDFC has started to invest in different countries to make them develop. America has already declared about the opening of the manufacturing hubs of almost 1000 American companies in Uttar Pradesh and the Indian government has also been agreed to this deal. India has promised to provide a land double size of LUXEMBOURG (a country in Europe). This is going to be a great deal towards the Make in India Movement. Through this, India is going to be a global manufacturing hub shortly.

NATURE IS BREATHING


Renewable energy growth and the impact of Covid-19 have led to the first year-on-year reduction in India’s CO2 emissions in four decades. Emissions fell by around 1% in the fiscal year ending March 2020, as coal consumption fell and oil consumption flatlined. As vehicles stay off the road, construction is put on hold, and factories stop production, the levels of microscopic particulate matter start to drop. "It is true that pollution levels are going down and will continue to be lower as a result of lockdown," Pawan Gupta, senior scientist at the Earth Sciences of Universities Space Research Association at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center told in an email. Recent heavy rains in the north and west of the country have also helped the country's pollution levels, Gupta added. "Rain is a very effective aerosol removal process from the atmosphere and can bring down particulate matter values," he said. Since the March 25 lockdown that forced 1.3 billion Indians to stay home, air quality in New Delhi, usually the worst in the world, has dropped to "satisfactory" levels. The effect of the lockdown has been dramatic. In New Delhi, where flights have been diverted because smog shrouded the airport, the air pollution levels have dropped 71 percent in just one week. On March 20, the air had an unhealthy 91 micrograms per cubic meter of PM 2.5. On March 27, just a couple days into the lockdown, that level fell to 26 micrograms per cubic meter. Anything above 25 is considered unsafe, according to the World Health Organization, as CNN reported. Data from the Central Pollution Control Board of India's Environment Ministry also showed a 71 percent decrease in nitrogen dioxide levels. Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and Bangalore have also recorded a drop in these air pollutants, according to CNN.


THE CONCLUSION


COVID-19 made the country creep on land for the economical crisis, but those are the initiatives described above are to counter the politics of China by the government of America that is helping India in a greater way. The pollution level drop is making us healthier and happier in our environment. So it can be said that
