Someday the Earth will weep , she will beg for her life,She will cry with tears of blood.
You will make a choice, if you will help her or let her die , and when she dies, you too will die.

The First Signs:

Coronaviruses are found in a diverse array of bat and bird species, which are believed to act as natural hosts. Molecular clock dating analyses of coronaviruses suggest that the most recent common ancestor of these viruses existed around 10,000 years ago. This relatively young age is in sharp contrast to the ancient evolutionary history of their putative natural hosts, which began diversifying tens of millions of years ago. Here, we attempted to resolve this discrepancy by applying more realistic evolutionary models that have previously revealed the ancient evolutionary history of other RNA viruses. By explicitly modeling variation in the strength of natural selection over time and thereby improving the modeling of substitution saturation, we found that the time to the most recent ancestor common for all coronaviruses is likely far greater (millions of years) than the previously inferred range.

Modern Times:

Human Coronaviruses Were first discovered in the late 1960s. The earliest ones discovered were an infectious bronchitis virus in chickens and two in human patients with common cold (later named human coronavirus 229E and coronavirus OC43).
And More Recently we had SARS in China 2003 and MERS in 2012 Saudi Arabia.

There were Indeed many predictions about the next possible Outbreak. In 2015 Bill Gates Predicted that the next Threat To Humanity will not be a Nuclear War or an AI Takeover it will indeed be a Life Threatening Virus.

and when we thought that we are ready to reach to other planets and moons , a single Virus has shown us that how much we are NOT !!

Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn’t exist yet, but can change everything for everybody ,and nothing will ever be the same again. Likewise, My thought of Universe collapsing ,it is reducing it’s energy in terms of Coronavirus Patients as they are dying in huge numbers everyday. Maybe the Concept of Dark energy matter is less somehow and now the Super Brain (in terms of GOD) is equalizing it by removing the virtual brain( In terms of Person Brain) to make the Balance in the Universe. It is not the End, It will be a starting of New Race. Those who will Remain in Race to live on Earth after this pandemic are important part for existence , those who will stay after the crises indefinitely because his/her candidacy provides him/ her the megaphone to shape the Biological Balance of the Earth.

Thousands of years ago, Hindustan or today’s India sounded the slogan that still resonates across the length and breadth of the country of 400 languages, 29 states, six major religions. That slogan is “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” which is a Sanskrit phrase found in ancient Hindu texts such as the Maha Upanishad, which means “The World is One Family.”

We need to Realize it and Work Together against this catastrophe.

NOW WHAT?

The most Important question of all, the very first steps should be to support the governments as they are trying their level best to keep spread as minimal as possible.

People should follow the Lock downs, maybe its for the best ? in daily hustle and bustle we almost forgot how it’s like to spend time with families and exploring ourselves , our gifts.

Maybe, when it’s all over the officials should investigate about the origins of this outbreak, and take strict actions against it.

In the Universe of uncertainties we don’t know , what could be the great filter? One reckless move and BOOM!! it’s all over . In these furious times we should stand together as brothers and sisters as we all are ONE SINGLE TRIBE!

The World is One Family.
