There is a myth going on in many parts of the world, that due to globalization, the Covid-19 virus can spread easily and affect many people around the world.
While this may be true, as the disease spread due to rapid distance coverage from air, water, and other sources, it is wrong to blame the whole on globalization.
There are many examples in history, where epidemics have spread and millions of human lives have already been lost by air transport. In this article, let’s see how globalization has helped spread the corona virus rapidly, let us check out the details.
Ban Globalization - Does those kinds of Ideas workout?
Wanting to build walls like the Great Wall of China in support of devolution, restricting visits and travel, decreasing trade between countries.
Yes, in these times of the Corona crisis, a temporary quarantine needs to be imposed, but the implications of long-term isolation between countries can trigger a financial collapse.
In short, the most essential factor at the present time is cooperation between all countries and, of course, not secession.
History and epidemic
Pandemics such as plague and small pox have destroyed many civilizations around the world.
Many times, when people left entire cities and villages, they moved to a new place to start a new life.
In the ancient era, there were no proper means of transportation such as ships and airplanes.
But there were still pandemics. For example, just notice the Black Death epidemic of the 14th century.
Millions of people die in countries ranging from Western Europe to East Asia. Over 19 million people lost their lives.
It was in 1520, smallpox started in Central America and wiped out about a quarter of its original population.
A deadly flu began in 1918, and spread to many corners of the world. The total population lost was 100 million. When the lives lost in the First World War are compared, the toll is higher.
How did our ancestors face an epidemic
To be honest, he tried every remedy and method to control the epidemic. Many methods were uneven and could not bring good results.
Some cultures relied on superstition and thought that pestilence was a curse or punishment from the gods.
In some countries, healthy people moved to other places, leaving dead, sick and undesirable livestock behind. There is also evidence of human sacrifice to please the gods to survive the epidemic.
What measures have been taken in recent times to deal with an epidemic?
Although the epidemic continues to rear its head every time, the cleanliness and hygiene process helped prevent casualties.
The main reason for the death of millions of people in old age was due to the fact, our ancestors did not understand the causes of this disease and its rapid spread.
In recent times, a virus can spread to all parts of the world in a few hours, courtesy air travel. But millions of people will not die due to any epidemic, cause, exchange of information.
The best defense against any disease in recent times is humanity's earliest formulation of scientific analysis and preventive medicine.
It was in the 1900s, that pharmaceutical professionals from every country came together and exchanged information about diseases in every country.
Then, the vaccination program began on a global scale. Thanks to the sincere efforts of these pharmaceutical professionals, some highly contagious diseases such as smallpox were completely eliminated in early 1979.
In earlier days, it was difficult to collect samples from affected people without being infected.
Now, with recent medical devices in the form of gloves and face masks, professionals can easily collect samples, analyze, identify, and then suggest possible treatments in the form of antibiotics.
In old age, people could not determine the cause of diseases like Black Death and millions of people died.
But when the corona outbreak occurred, it took medical professionals less than 15 days to identify the virus, its genetics, and possible ways to identify the affected people, isolated them and spreading the disease massively has been curbed.
What did you learn from the history of the epidemic?
The very fact is that many deaths have been proved wrong once again due to globalization.
Without proper transportation, many epidemics caused millions of deaths in earlier times.
The real protection from any epidemic is when the country should first share the information of the disease affecting its neighbors as soon as possible.
In this situation, it is trust and mutual understanding that is very important in preventing the spread of the disease.
All other countries should also extend a helping hand to the affected country.
Today, the corona virus is causing devastation worldwide, China has to teach countries a lesson about the virus.
Co-operation is also mandatory when countries try their best to restrict travel from citizens of other countries during an epidemic.
If countries do not trust each other, the information on the disease becomes useless.
In the last century, the war against smallpox was won, as each country participated in a vaccination program.
If a country had failed to fall in line, smallpox would have remained and would have waited to strike at the right time. But it did not happen.
Please note, in recent times the entire human race needs to establish a clear boundary line. It is not between countries and countries. But the line should be clearly placed between humans and viruses.
Viruses that have caused death in recent times have come from animals to humans. For example, the Ebola virus. Therefore, safety measures and precautions should be communicated to communities around the world.
Every now and then, a transmission would break the boundary line between the virus and man. Then the entire human race will become the duckling for a new predator virus.
Along with the content in the first paragraph, some facts also have to be taken into consideration. There are few cultures in the world where people do not know about basic health services. These people can become targets of transmission.
Since the last half century, medical science has prepared itself to meet the challenges of the epidemic. An entire army exists in the form of medical professionals, nurses and other staff who patrol the world and protect against any epidemic.
What are the major factors that can help a pandemic spread faster?
True, we have all medical facilities, but countries have lost trust in each other. In some countries, corrupt politicians do not grant grants to medical institutions and hinder their growth and research.
There is a section of the society that does not rely on the advice of a scientific medical expert and pursue his life as he wishes.
All these factors can contribute to the spread of disease in many countries.
The conclusion
We hope that Corona Scare will boost trust between countries. Let us not focus on this subject - has globalization helped the corona virus spread rapidly.
It is a painful lesson, but let us turn this unfortunate incident into an opportunity to further strengthen the bonds between countries.
Brotherhood between countries can strengthen the whole human race against any catastrophe (natural or health related).
Let us resolve to cross the planet at any time, if needed, to counter a threat that may pose a threat to the entire human race.
Presently, to save this Mother Earth from the effects of the corona virus, let us pray for the supreme power in our hearts.
