How this Covid-19 Pandemic will Change our Lives for Years to Come

In 2009, there were around 800 billionaires in the world. 

Within a decade, around 2019, the members of this billionaire" club" reached to 2200. 

The great news comes for the 'Modern System,' indeed. It was said that 'money will save people.' Those who 'earned hard money,' they only have the power of protection. They have the ultimate right to live. Even in this polluted world, air purifiers, mineral water, and 'organic food' - all can be ensured by money.

But during this pandemic, it was found that the 'system' could not even protect the lives of the rich. There is a hole in the system. The world-famous art galleries suddenly closed, orchestras canceled the show; candle-light-dinner at evening has vanished, all aspects of grand elite lifestyle are under threat, such an awkward scene for an evening life.

It was thought that the slums of Asia or the villages of Africa would be desolate. Still, the Paris Museum or cathedrals in Spain would not be disturbed. Although China's Guangdong is attacked, Washington will be safe. Everything turned out to be wrong. By the end of this natural disaster, it is showing that the scope of 'social isolation' in the current system is just a great delusion. They did not feel it's futile to have a collective discussion of the task of strengthening the 'immuno-system' of human civilization.

Elites will be able to undergo a health check-up at a costly hospital before falling into a corona attack; can isolate in the house for a long time; they do not have to worry about daily bread. Besides, there is 'e-commerce'!
But what will happen to the 'filthy' poor? How will the farm laborers from the shopkeepers keep going on if they stopped working? So far, the so-called 'perfect system' has failed to protect them. Irrespective of the situation, they continue to work. All rich shout in panic, 'stop everything.'

Rich has the opportunity to live well during the quarantine. That opportunity was not put in the system for the poor. It was thought that the poor could be kept away. Such social 'isolation' was demanded in the 'modern' political-economy. Farmers feed the entire economic system; their growing food provides energy to the world. Yet in this political-economy, the peasants were kept in social isolation. Workers' live' in the same situation. But in just a few weeks, people are learning hands-on: geography is interdependent, interrelated; the concept of international solidarity was once lost in the 'modern system.' This is a 'biology' that the 'economy' has overlooked. But the continued 'high growth' and global' rise in the stock market' do not guarantee any protection for the millionaires and billionaires as well. Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, the richest men, were afraid to shake hands.

The news channels are talking about the 'global' pandemic. Still, all global leaders are now forced to admit in the G20 meeting, globalization has failed terribly at different levels. People who were preaching globalization one decade before irrespective of the fact they were aware that how lives of people, the national economy will be vulnerable to it, now they made a u-turn. Now they are looking for humane, adaptive universal healthcare system while selling off public healthcare to private companies and transforming education system affordable only to rich people who will never dare to work for the poor, for the community, and everyone. The idea of the isolation of the current capitalist system does not work anymore. In the 'age of epidemics,' there will be no health protection measures, which will guarantee the well being of the poor as well as rich. The question of good health cannot be shared among the poor and the elite anymore. It is no longer a matter of choice. It is an inevitable experience. Europe-America is learning from this experience with Asia.

The foreign virus could not be stopped at bay. How prepared are the 'society' and the 'system'? Is the medical and medicine system in the hands of several corporate institutions capable of preventing pandemics in countries avoiding the deaths of millions? Especially at the era of antibiotics, while billions of human bodies have already become drug-resistant due to excessive use of antibiotics, how the health sector will be able to handle such a situation in the future.
