Will the World Come Together and Fight Coronavirus?
Ever so often in this thing we call life, there is something that throws a wrench in our progress. Today, we are faced with an event that may become the talking point of this new decade. In China, and countries surrounding China, the Wuhan Coronavirus continues to escalate. We don’t know what the outcome of this virus is going to be. All indications, at least to me, are that this virus is getting worse. How bad it gets is not known. The reason for this is that China really isn’t being forthcoming about what this virus is doing in the country. we have no way of knowing this. We can take the official numbers out of China, but these are probably not the actual numbers of people infected, dead, or recovered.
Can the World Handle This?
While the numbers of cases in other parts of the world especially the Western world are small, these numbers may change over time. Again, we have no way of knowing what this virus is going to do. We may not be able to contain it. During the Spanish Flu, we were not able to contain that outbreak, and it had to play out. While our medical system is certainly vastly superior to that time, viruses can be tricky to deal with.
