This year is the most devastating year to be lived by human species. Covid 19 pandemic has caused havoc across every nation promising to wrap up the whole globe within 365 days
Everythinghas been brought to its knees. Education, economies, politics and what so ever has been brought to standstill.
We have seen countries such as South Africa alraedy digging upto 1.5 millions graves perhaps they have no hope of surviving the scath of this pandemic.
World leaders fisrt began by pointing a middle finger to China accusing it for manufacturing this virus as a bio-weapon. Man of the cloth also did not to left behind as the slogan for Sustainable Development Goals read thus:
They prophecied that this pandemic spread will cease in no time, but unfortunately, they became the false prophets of the time.
Everything was then shutdown. Schools, churches, borders and businesses, but the virus continued to spread like a wide forest fires while also claiming the lives of our fellow human species.
The gospel across every nation, every region was fighting the spread of this virus. The virus never faded out but there was still a surge in cases reported worldwide.
It then became the utmost of every nation to divert finds towards the triump over this this pandemic and it became the utmost priority to for every individual to avoid contracting this virus.
What then happened is a swift change of focus from all the society injustices such as political ills, corruptions, fight of chronic diseases as well as poverty and hunger.
Indeed, the world forgot that th bankruptency of some nations such as Lebanon which is reported to be owing milllions and millions of dollars to its private sector.
Actually, this year is holistically a crisis after a crisis until we accept that everything issuppossed to be the way it ought to be. We shift to new living normalities, then we experience some sort of cultrure shock or what so ever you may want to call it.
We need not to forget the Beriut explosion which took the lives of at least 158 people, injuring 5 000 and about 300 000 homeless in already overwhelmed health system of that country by the virus.
#ZimbabweansLivesMatter is also making trends these days.
Let’s look to the educational sector in most developing countries. Actually little if any efforts were initiated to realise digital learning. In the advent of this crisis, it therefore remains a crisis to bring about quality education without risking the lives of the pupils and students.
online learning as a crisis
We shall also recall that even when the pandemic broke loose in some developing countries such as the Agfrican continent, these counntries were not prepared to face the giant. It was by that time some nations began to set up their own laboratories to handle tests of this virus.
It is worth mentioning even that countries such as Botswana, Eswatini and Lesetho, iI assume were sependent on South Africa to tests their specimens fopr the virus. Even to the present day, neighbouring South Africa is percieved to have effective tests kits across the continent as opinated by the African Union Covid 19 task team.
THIS PANDEMIC WILL HAVE DIRE EFFECTS ON GLOBAL ECONOMIES ESPECIALLY THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WHICH EVEN TODAY DEPEND ON INTERNATIONAL MONETERY FUND, WORLD BANK AND SO MANY OTHER INTERNATIONAL FINANCIERS TO CUSHION THEIR NATIONS AGAINST THE EFFECTS OF THE PANDEMIC.
