Answer:
The recent defiant spread of Covid-19 has spurred many jokes and memes on the Internet. But the one which shows us the harsh reality is the hidden message alongside the content. Mankind harps on how its superior brain power has led to advancements in technology connecting people around the world (even in space). The novel coronavirus is subjecting this claim to a rigorous test, as increasing connectivity is proving a boon to its spread.
Covid-19 first appeared in China in January 2020, and has now spread over 195 countries with around four lakh reported cases and nearly 17,000 deaths. It has virtually ‘locked down’ the world. Despite the advances that mankind has achieved in medical science, the only potent measure against the virus as of now is social isolation and social distancing.
Nevertheless, after initial setbacks, mankind is putting up a brave fight and is using new-age technologies to restore some sanity. These technologies are not only helping fight the current health pandemic but will, in the future, change how we deal with recurrence of such health scares.
