The dangerous global plague that has its origin in Wuhan has engulfed the whole world. Physically and financially, the whole world in general and developing countries in particular are paralyzed by this epidemic. The world’s economically strongest countries are proving helpless today. Due to the prevailing situation raised because of corona virus, every human being seems helpless before divine nature. Oil prices have drastically came down. Gradually, all the countries are heading towards economic decline. Everyone is waiting for the end of this dangerous global pandemic- Corona virus. Although the poorest classes are most affected by the epidemic, but nevertheless noble also suffered heavy financial and human losses. News channels and social media feeds seem to be reporting on the negative aspects of Corona?, but have you ever wondered that the Corona virus has left some positive effects on our society and environment?
Prior to Corona, smoke from factories had a devastating effect on the environment which in turn resulted in indefinite natural disasters and well as serious health impacts on the living beings. But the closure of airports ,several factories and industrial plants have resulted in very little air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions & much more . In fact, it has not only reduced pollution in air, but also improved air quality, and it is said to have cooled the ozone layer to its average level. Another thing is that according to reports, on the shores of empty beaches, the “sea turtle” lays 60 million eggs now a days which was categorised to be one of the endangered species.
Endangered Olive Ridley’s “sea turtles” have come ashore along the coast of the eastern Indian state of Odisha to dig their nests and lay their eggs. Italy is going through the worst economic as well as health crises due to the outbreak of corona virus, but perhaps a small victory for this country is that the canals of Venice now seem crystal clear . Beautiful pictures of this water can be seen on social media. One of the social media friend commented that “nature has constructed the beauty of this world afresh”.NASA images show clear and transparent water in world-famous canals, which shows how pollution is declining rapidly in cities around the world. It is also clear that the death toll due to other causes, such as environmental pollution and factory fumes, has dropped dramatically. Bangkok, Beijing, Delhi and other toxic megacities around the world, where various restrictions have been imposed on people due to the corona virus, have seen dramatic reductions in environmental pollution. The sky is suddenly rare and blue.
To cope with every upcoming calamity re-establish the constitution of humanity,we do not know how long this virus will take over this world. We should be positive & get out of the panic & chaos raised by the corona virus and pay more heed to its positive aspects and try to explain its positive impacts on the society. So that this atmosphere of fear and dread will disappear by itself.
Even the loud sounds of birds can be easily heard. Another aspect is that the virus has erupted at a time when everyone is under a lot of stress and is reconnecting with the natural world, perhaps helping them cope with this hypertension. It has become the norm to share love with loved ones for which parents, children and the elderly have longed for centuries. The busiest person today seems to be learning the real purpose of life, free from all other worries. Everyone is hoping and shouting that when life returns to normal, whatever it looks like, we will start anew to maintain this balance of work, family and environmental protection.”This is what gives us real peace,” said one gentleman on television.Nature provided another opportunity that the real focus should not be on dropping the corpses of innocents but on saving humanity. The most powerful countries in the world must now change their attitude and turn their full attention to public health. To cope with every upcoming calamity re-establish the constitution of humanity,we do not know how long this virus will take over this world. We should be positive & get out of the panic & chaos raised by the corona virus and pay more heed to its positive aspects and try to explain its positive impacts on the society. So that this atmosphere of fear and dread will disappear by itself.
