So that is the situation that Corona has put us into. In fact, it has pushed the whole world into a quandary and all countries of the globe are training their guns at China, supposedly the mother of Corona from whose Wuhan city the virus emerged as if from a womb and wove its web of disaster all over the world. Every Tom, Dick and Harry is in a combat mood and ready to crush China for its dastardly act of spreading the virus deliberately, perhaps, aiming at an international catastrophe of all sorts and consolidation of its superiority in the world market. You can nick-name this as an example of market imperialism which Americans will easily understand. The country read China might have used the World Health Organisation or WHO to foist this fraud on the whole world as Trump and his aides believe.  The hue and cry for a ban on Chinese goods is only a tip of the iceberg.

    The triumphant Corona virus is smashing ahead with all the virulence and intensity that it can afford in its nascent stage. Mind you, the mutation stage is in process and there is no guarantee that this devilish micro-organism will not assume more devastating proportions. The mankind which has already been brought to its knees may even be forced into prostration in the coming days or months.

Even Gods may keep mum on that question because he may not be sure about it! Let us skim through the six-month-old history of Corona since it made its scary presence felt in December last or January beginning and the hellish ramifications that it unleashed. Aft...

The entire mankind is passing through a new phase of history.  I think this would be an era of the pandemic. COVID 19 may be the most discussed utterance in the world. A virus originated in China, now spread all over the world. The pandemic becomes a nightmare to the whole of humanity. One may say, it is one of the negative externalities of globalisation but anyway we have to accept the reality that it's all around us. We play a cat and mouse game today. Actually, it's a game of life, a game of survival. The number of COVID cases are increasing sharply. Scientists are behind the vaccines. Doctors and nurses are sweating to save mankind,  the entire economy of the world has been crushed and Government officials are striving to save the economy. When we discuss the economic impact of this pandemic COVID-19, it may be a phase in the whole world history where each and every nation in the world together strive to survive. The latest reports of the International Monetary...
