Question

In the midst of a coronavirus pandemic, mention your important efforts by your Principal to protect you​

Answer 1

Answer:

We have been here before. Almost. A long time ago, in 1918, the Spanish Flu infected 500 million people and killed an estimated 10-50 million, devastating the global economy.

A century later, the world was supposedly making massive progress and scientists focusing on higher order problems — like blurring the boundaries between the real and virtual worlds. Armed with path-breaking tools such as gene editing, AI and big data, human beings were learning to play god, creating designer babies and disrupting death.

And then, coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), the China-born microbe that inflicts infectious respiratory illness, brings the world to its knees. The pandemic is still unravelling and it is too early to gauge its ultimate human and economic impact. Already, an unprecedented global lockdown is underway. Schools, colleges, malls, theatres and much more have been shut. Conferences and sports events such as IPL have been called off. Countries are tightening borders and suspending visas en masse, leaving airports empty, flights cancelled and many stranded in a world of globetrotters. With the world factory China as the epicentre, the global manufacturing machinery is grinding to a halt. Remote working and social distancing are the new buzzwords as workplaces struggle to carry on business.

The virus has been a great leveller, affecting people irrespective of their wealth and social status.
