Corona Virus: Unprepared to face a different kind of enemy

Corona Virus: Unprepared to face a different kind of enemy

In the Twentieth Century, there were all kinds of wars that had one thing in common - they were all fought with some kind of mechanical devices.

This is why Armies are now about tanks, artillery, airplanes, naval ships, rockets, bombs, nuclear devices. We are even preparing for war outside the Earth atmosphere.

With all the arsenal that could wipe out Humanity, we are at the mercy of microbes against which we have very little to protect ourselves. The invisible enemies have stealth capacity and can attack with short notice, unpredictably, across national borders.

We heard about chemical weapons and biological weapons. People have fantasized about using biological weapons. If anything, Corona Virus should show all those who have ever considered using biological weapons that biological weapons with turn against not just against potential victims but also against those who use biological weapons. Viruses have no national allegiances. Viruses will kind anybody regardless of which side of the divide he or she is on.

Some politicians talk about a new Cold War against China. A whole bunch of idiots driven to use old failed recipes. This is not about China. This is not about USA or the Western World. This is about Humanity as a whole for everybody is being affected by a biological enemy. This is the alien invader of Independence Day and we are all in this together to defeat a merciless enemy called Corona Virus.
