The novel coronavirus pandemic also known as covid 19 is still ravaging various parts of the world. Although concerted efforts are being made to contain the pandemic, the global picture is still very gloomy.
For a disease as deadly as the coronavirus pandemic, it will make a lot of sense for us to figure out and be absolutely sure what caused it – for posterity sake.
But going by various reports monitored on social media, there is hardly a worldwide consensus as to the actual cause of the disease. As a result, several conspiracy theories exist…
The conspiracy theories around covid-19 pandemic
Right or wrong, many people believe that the deadly strain of virus causing the pandemic was passed from wild animals to humans. This was the report that came of out Wuhan City, China, where the disease was reported to have originated from.
In addition, there are also insinuations in some quarters that the virus is nothing but a secretly contrived biological weapon that couldn’t be contained any more.
Some other people called it a covert chemical weapon development experiment that backfired.
There was also another theory that the covid 19 pandemic is nothing but the hazardous radiation consequence of the 5G communication technology purportedly deployed in some cities of the world.
Beyond the conspiracy theories around the covid-19 pandemic
It is not for me to argue here whether or not these claims around covid-19 are correct. It is a matter of time, the truth will be fully revealed.
But beyond the so-called conspiracy theories surrounding the remote cause of the covid 19 pandemic, no one can deny that there was an actual disease outbreak across the world that is making actual human beings suffer, leading to actual multiple deaths and actual global lockdowns.
As at the time of writing this post, over two million individual cases of this deadly infection have been cumulatively reported globally. And this has resulted in actual human deaths of not less than one hundred and fifty thousand persons.

Unfortunately, those numbers are most likely to go up over the next days or weeks pending when the vaccine for the prevention and treatment of the infection is developed and made commercially available.
The world is on lockdown
Consequent upon the breakout of the pandemic, our lives are no longer the same as our lives have been disrupted in more ways than one.
Most cities where the disease have been reported have been placed on lockdown pending when the pandemic is contained.
“Stay safe, stay at home,” we are told. This means that we can hardly go where we want to go and when we want to go.
And no one is sure when the lockdown order will be lifted.

Productivity has nose-dived
Global productivity is declining across world economies because most hardworking people who are supposed to be at work are now resting at home due to no fault of theirs.
We all know that, “Work from home” is a cliché that isn’t possible for all the baskets of employees presently on lockdown.
The only people that are fully engaged at this time are our health or medical workers. They are working tirelessly and risking their own lives to save the lives of those who are battling with the pandemic.
Major employers continue to pay salaries to their staff even when majority of their staff are observing the stay-at-home order. Don’t ask me how long this will be sustained!
Conclusions
Nations and governments of the word are humbled.
Just one plague has proven that despite the hyped advances in medicine, our healthcare system is still very much challenged.
As one wag puts it, the nations of the world are prepared for war but none is prepared for a plague such as covid 19. Isn’t that an irony?
Time will fail me to begin to talk about the job losses, lost or depleted investments, and other forms of economic hardships caused by the covid 19 pandemic. We are all already feeling the impact in one way or another!
Therefore, whether or not the people of the world come to a consensus as to the actual cause of the coronavirus pandemic, none of us can deny the fact that beyond the conspiracy theories in circulation, the pandemic has adversely affected our lives in all ramifications.
And I doubt that the world will remain the same once this battle of containing the spread of the pandemic is over.
Please let me know what you think in the comment section.
we’re already past the point of no return-to our old same-old same-old. What the enemy is using to topple world governments and financial systems Father God is turning for good to give us all what may be a last reprieve for awakening and revival to flood this world. A lot of things were not working well the way they were; I’m praying and believing we’re looking for a glorious time ahead if we keep our eyes on Jesus and continue demanding: ‘Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.’ Amen!

Some may change Victor, but if they do develop a vaccine, the vast majority of humanity will go back to the way it was, because far too many focus on the now and not the reality of God and eternity.

You are right Bruce. The focus of the world is short-sighted…
One would have expected that many people will use this timeout to think about their lives in the light of God and eternity, but except for a few exceptions that’s largely not the case.
