We are in the year 2020. But, just once, Wlet's all look back into the last decade and honestly ask ourselves- what all comes to the mind? A mad race in the realm of modernity! What else? A devastating dance of tsunami waves! Ruthless whips of hurricanes! Floods wiping out huge number of lives in a flash! Disastrous wildfires! Crazy twists in the trajectory of seasons– burning summers at one moment and icycold winters in the other moment! Breath-choking air! Zero water zones! Fields and crops being mercilessly smashed! Speedily melting glaciers! Eroding mountains!
Do you see all this? A destructive dance of Nature! Repeated lashings by catastrophes and calamities! It seems as if Nature is sending us death in instalments. One such instalment has come to us in the present times, in the form of Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19).
You must be knowing this– Elephant is one such animal that can daringly confront the king of the jungle, the lion. It can clutch the fearless lion in its trunk and give a good thrash! However, the same mighty elephant goes crazily helpless, if an ant happens to enter its trunk. This analogy befits the current state of affairs that has conjured up amidst Corona. Not falling in the range of an ordinary microscope, the scientists could, at last, click this virus with the help of 'Cyro-electron microscopy'.
Meaning by, so subtle is this virus! And, this immense subtlety makes this virus enormously powerful… so much so, that the whole world has succumbed to its attack!
