Slavery Lasted 400 years, So Why The Protests Against COVID 19 Lockdown For Some Few Days?

 

Protesters against coronavirus lockdown in the Netherlands

The coronavirus lockdown is provoking many people that want their freedom around the world, despite the high rate of COVID 19 infections in recent times.  Hence, many people worldwide, including the Netherlands, not satisfied with the lockdown rules to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus, took to the streets protesting.

There is no one who doesn’t like the taste of sweet freedom because as humans, people are not interested in laws and rules that will confine them to one place. Frankly speaking, freedom is more effective than any medicine as it prevents loneliness, depression, any psychological problems, including the tendencies of committing suicide.

 

Even animals and birds like freedom, since many are fed up being kept in the zoo. Even in a cage, a bird may seem happy whistling and hopping around, yet open the cage for that bird and you will see the full force of flight that bird will be applied to escape into the air without looking back.

 

There was much unrest through Europe, including London, over the lockdown. In Eindhoven, one of the cities in Holland, protesters set fires and threw missiles at the police against the lockdown measures, while the police fought to control the situation with tear gas and water cannons, leading to the arrest of at least 55 people.

 

Many times, I keep wondering if people that have never suffered slavery, racism, colonial brutalities, the Apartheid form of government, and the handicapped by deliberate infection of diseases, understand the situation of people that have experienced such tragedies and bitter experiences of black history.

 

Africans were captured and sold as slaves in the most degrading and horrifying manner that lasted 400 years before abolition, yet today we are witnessing carnage, destruction, crimes against the authorities because they want people to obey the laws implemented to avoid the spread of the coronavirus.

 

How sincere and thoughtful are we as human beings? You, in life many don’t care about other people's sufferings because they are not the victims. Selfishness, greed, lies, and hypocrisy are some of the ailments that shut down the brain of human beings to be considerate to think about the well-being of other people.

 

If black people have survived slavery, Apartheid horrors, and colonial atrocities that lasted for decades, why some people always want to break the rule and find it difficult to survive a lockdown for some few days to prevent the spread of a disease that will benefit us?

The truth is in life if you haven't been through certain difficulties, you wouldn't have the experience to accept certain rules for your own benefit. People often don't care about the tragedies that fall on other people but the reality is whatever goes around, always comes around.

The situation about the coronavirus is hard to understand. We don't see people getting ill or falling on the streets, yet we hear of people dying each day by COVID 19. Whether what those health experts are telling us is true or false, we must obey the rules and see what happens

THE DANGEROUS WORLD OF THE INVINCIBLE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

China in the storm of coronavirus

It took the world by surprise, the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the world's corona disease is probably the most influential and dangerous cause of attacking humanity in the last 100 years. 

The current virus is threatening to harm hundreds of millions of people in the near future, dropping tens of millions of space and collapsing health and economic systems worldwide.

Some of the questions people are desperate to know are: How was it created? Is it possible that this is a virus engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, located in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the outbreak began? 

Examining reliable sources and tracing the chain of events create a puzzle of facts that give rise to real questions about the source of the virus.  

The virus first appeared in November 2019 as an outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan city of Hubei province with nine cases. 

About a month later, when the number of patients was already 180, Dr. Zheng Jishian reported that it was a new type of coronavirus and the number of abnormal patients raised concerns about the return of the SARS virus, which spread in China in 2002.

Dr. Zheng Jishian's report to the Chinese authorities, along with a parallel report by another physician named Dr. Li Wanliang, who after two months died of the corona disease himself.

He was initially silenced by the Chinese government and both doctors were investigated by police and accused of spreading rumors on the Internet, considering it serious harm to the public order.

On January 23, when the number of infections in China reached 830, the Chinese government imposed a full-scale military curfew that has never been seen in any of Hubei Province for its 60 million inhabitants!

At the same time, China for the benefit of scientists around the world has released its findings on the virus, including decoding its complete genome, which usually takes months and years of research.

Following China's announcement of the new virus, European countries have taken unprecedented defensive procedures, which included the immediate conversion of military camps to temporary hospitals, closing borders and imposing severe traffic restrictions on residents. 

At first, the reaction of China and the various countries worldwide seemed hysterical and disproportionate, but apparently by then they knew something we still do not know about the source of the virus and the danger it embodies

As of now, April 16, 2020, the Coronavirus or COVID 19, has already spread to most parts of the world. Currently, the virus has infected 2,088,636 and killed 134,754 people.

Coronavirus has taken over the world but the impact varies and no one can predict when the disease will subside. The disease has dealt a heavy blow on Spain, Italy, France and the United States of America.

This is the first time in history that over 2.6 billion people are required to stay in homes in a state of closure - lockdown. Will this be the end in a world that invincible epidemic can strike any time.
