ONLY UNITED ACTION BY INDIANS CAN DEFEAT COVID-19 FRANKENSTEIN
According to an expert, the virus is a combination of HIV, flu and measles.
AFrankenstein monster has been let loose from Wuhan in China’s Hubei province. As a consequence, the citadels of the evolutionary world as Global Village, founded on fast paced, unabated digital revolution of over two decades, are shaking. The Global Village’s integrated global factories emphasising value chain in their manufacturing component units situated continents apart have downed shutters due to a ruptured supply chain. Worldwide, other integrated businesses have hit a dead end, leading to unprecedented global economic pandemonium. Share markets the world over have crashed, triggering a further run on an already recessive economic order. A locked down world with countries isolating themselves, have closed their land borders, airspace, sea routes; and within their own borders quarantined cities, villages, localities… This new order starkly contrasts with the Global Village. There is a run on the markets with people emptying the shelves of supermarkets. The US, Uk…the super stores are witnessing long queues and are returning people empty handed.
This Frankenstein, an unseen enemy and equal in destructive power to a bioterrorist, has since its origins in China last November continued a bloodbath from December 2019 till 19 March 2020. Covid-19 has consumed 9,982 people and incapacitated 241,563 in 177 countries. Till now, such carnage was unimaginable; the propensity existed only in fictions like 1981’s The Eyes of Darkness by Dean
Koontz.
The Frankenstein that is now ravaging the world was identified only on 7 January. Initially called coronavirus, though it was different from earlier known coronaviruses, it was re-named novel coronavirus 2019. This new strain was finally given a technical identity— Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SAR S-COV-2), by the International Committee on Taxonomy
of Viruses (ICTV) as it belonged to the same species as SARS-COV identified in 2003 after it infected humans in the Guangdong province of southern China in 2002, killing over 800 people.
Some experts dispute the official Chinese declared date of the virus’ onset. Piecing information together, they correctly date

But it came to public domain only on 30 December 2019 through a conscientious whistle blower. No wonder China expelled some foreign journalists and silenced its own concerned citizens.
Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist working at Central Hospital of Wuhan, blew the lid off the impending doom of new SAR S-COV-2 on 30 December 2019. In a Wechat social media chat to his medical school classmates, posting examination reports and CT scans of infected patients Li said, “7 confirmed cases of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) virus were reported (to hospital) from Huanan Seafood Market… the latest news is, it has been confirmed that they are coronavirus infections,
