Challenges ahead

Donald Trump claimed that coronavirus originated from a Wuhan lab. If his prediction is true, then it's a man-made virus. That means the said virus is regulated by man not for the interest of the mankind, but for the destruction of humanity.

The centre's decision for further extension of the lockdown till May 17 is a great challenge for a country like India. We have to respect the Central government's decision. However, it's not a one-day cricket match or 5-day test series, which will be over within a stipulated period of time. If the government doesn't extend the lockdown, the cause of damage due to COVID-19 will spread like a nuclear chain reaction or nuclear fission.

Now the question is: how long will our country or countrymen deal with such challenges? Some of the challenges like acute poverty, increase of unemployment, loss of academic sessions etc, are yet to come. We have to face all such changes and try to resolve them through scientific investigation. I firmly believe that we can overcome all such challenges.
