Respected Principal Sir, judges, teachers and all my
dear friends. I’m Neha from Bose house and today I’m going to throw some light on the topic,”Effects of Corona Virus on the World.”
As we all know the world is fighting with an invisible
enemy, Covid-19, a black swan event. But for better or for worse, life on earth has changed and the world would shift to a new normal after corona virus pandemic.
No single economy or country will be able to impact
the world. Energy, water, food will become strategic national issues and dependence will reduce on fossil fuels or natural resources that are alien to a geography. Health rather than illness will become the focus of government activity and budgeting. People would shift to e-commerce. Urbanisation, space utilisation and public transport will undergo dramatic change. Office space, physical meetings, travel will reduce.
Spectator sport and mass entertainment will move from
gathering crowds to providing personalised pleasure. Computer and video gaming will acquire greater acceptance. Education will be much less dependent on physical infrastructure. Online and distance education from school to doctoral will become the norm, with student gatherings becoming infrequent and purposed. Religious activities and political congregations requiring mass gatherings will go down significantly. The press is already moving from paper to electronic media, newspapers and magazines will become oddities.
The norms of social distancing will become a new
normal; no handshakes or hugs, and in fact wearing mask has already become a trend. The society would once again shift towards the family culture rather than individual existence realising the importance of loved ones in our lives. Have we ever thought that who stood with us in this vulnerable time of loneliness and depression? Yes, our family.
And amazingly because of corona virus, wild animals
have started wandering around the cities, pollution levels have reduced drastically and the ozone layer has started healing itself. Nobody knows what the future of humanity would be after the pandemic, but it is certain that the climate and environment of Earth are going to be benefited. So friends till we get a vaccine and develop herd immunity, stay safe with your loved ones and believe in God. Believe me we will overcome this too and will tell the tales of this ordeal to our grandchildren.
