SARS- “Severe acute respiratory syndrome” disease. It is a human gene for encoding the enzyme cytoplasmic seryl-tRNA synthetase also known as (SARSr-CoV or SARS-CoV), a virus species containing (SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV 1), the virus that causes damages multiple respiratory systems and causes blood clotting, etc.
There are thousands of variants of SARS-CoV-2 which also included the current Coronavirus disease 2019 – COVID-19 that is a positive-sense single stranded RNA virus pandemic. It is the successor to SARS-CoV-1. It is believed to have close genetic similarity to bat corona viruses suggesting it emerged from a bat-borne virus. Anyhow, it is possible that any type of genetic change may take place due to a lot of different factors either in SARS affecting carriers or recipients which include the dis-balance of body pH particularly when it is highly alkaline.
There are only two factors for genetic modification in living organisms i.e. genotype and phenotype. Covid-19 may belong to the first one—- genotype by a natural accidental process—- of manmade which may again cause new variants due to certain environmental factors as it is being observed in Europe and Africa. In conclusion, under such situations, although a lot of vaccines have been developed they may not be said a final remedy against this pandemic yet their harms are still to be assessed.
Pandemic is an infectious disease thrust upon the people generally by natural forces on a regional and global scale spreading to several continents. Throughout human history the
pandemics have scared the populations, but not to an extent of the one which was done by the CORONA virus particularly the covid-19.
The Covid-19 crisis has affected the Globe on several levels, including international, national, regional, societal, and familial. Like many of us from the common man to the dignitaries from the conman to the professionals, from the followers to the leaders have also faced the challenges that characterize this uncertain period.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the new coronavirus outbreak, a pandemic on March 11th, 2020, and said it was “deeply concerned by the alarming levels of spread and
severity” of the outbreak. Which originated in Wuhan, China, a pandemic. The new coronavirus, the seventh known to affect humans, has been named COVID-19. Common signs of infection
include fever, coughing, and breathing difficulties. In severe cases, it can cause pneumonia, multiple organ failure, and death.
The incubation period of COVID-19 is thought to be between one and 14 days. It is contagious before symptoms appear which is why so many people get infected. Infected patients can be also asymptomatic, meaning they do not display any symptoms despite
having the virus in their systems.
The Covid-19 has created a severe economic crisis the world-over seizing and affecting all business activities and there have been only a few industries that availed a chance of multiplying their business many folds and they include Information Technology and Pharmaceutical industries etc but on the other side rate of unemployment have increased that also increased crimes and there is a chance for its amplification further.
This pandemic has also left its own harsh impacts on education due to unemployment particularly in third world countries since most of the parents might not be able to afford a female’s education. Secondly, online education is also not affordable here for everyone. The World Bank has suggested that the full recovery of this economic disaster will not be
achieved until 2025.
The reason for the crisis is that more than half of the world population was placed under a lockdown or the stay at home orders to stop the spread of the virus, which saw the slowdown or
tagnation of the consumer activity worldwide and there was an unusually rapid increase seen in the unemployment and many countries were unable to provide the state-funded insurances.
They have deep love and affection for their country of origin these people are especially from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Arab, Turkish and African countries that have been affected by the Economic recession after the coronavirus pandemic, the related statistics are provided as under.
The workforce is very crucial at all times for a country to sustain itself economically in this competitive world. We also know that because of lower birth rates and increasing aged population among the European countries there is a dearth of the labor force which is sufficed by the immigrant workers.
According to the individual-level data on occupations across the 31 European countries, migrants play an especially important role in low-skilled key occupations and are as likely to support regional economies in key worker occupations as native-born workers, also provide a vital source of labor supply in skilled jobs critical for European healthcare systems, such as doctors and nurses. Though there are large differences that exist across regions and between cities and rural areas.
The challenges emerging in the economic and social fronts have cast a new light on the challenges of vitality and functioning of local economies in the sectors of food processing, delivery, and healthcare.
There should be continued lobbying among the business and political leaders to establish a universal basic income and to encourage and extend the flow of remittances, so vital to the global economy and GDPs of many lower-income countries. Because we know that there are several millions of immigrant workers living all over Europe and their economic activities almost all got stabilized unprecedentedly without knowing when they
get fully resumed.
Among the people of Arab, Turkish, African and especially also of the SAARC communities (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) countries, we the EAFPF nonprofit, peace-oriented think tank organization based in Europe should work with the governments and citizens to deliver essential services, and fight misinformation.
Marginalized groups’ difficulties in accessing health care in normal times have been exacerbated during COVID-19; therefore, address the needs of vulnerable and marginalized groups upfront in the response as a priority. Financial protection is a core dimension of health system performance and central to universal health coverage. Lack of financial protection in health systems can reduce access to health care, undermine health status, deepen poverty and exacerbate inequality.
In 2019, 207,000 people seeking asylum were under 18 years old – 7% of them (14,000) were unaccompanied children. Most of the unaccompanied children came from Afghanistan, Syria,
and Pakistan.
The children below the age of 17 years are to be nurtured carefully if not they may end into the traps of anti-social elements and may become the part and parcel of the terrorist activities. Here our EAFPF organization can play a major role to comprehend the realities to those children
along with the adults who got disassociated with their family members and provide them with some basic education, skill development if they have some skill-enhancing them with
technological upgradations all these will help them to lead a nondependent and dignified life.
This will also make them contribute to the economy of the country in which they are living and if they have someone back at home the remittances will cater to the needs in the origin country.
The remittances should be seen to send through proper government channels (Banks, Western Union, Money Gram, Ria Money Transfer, or another legal and right way) avoiding the illegal
transfers.
So that the government could work for the welfare of these immigrants by providing them the
daily requisites may be on subsidies or free of cost. The reward for the hard work of migrants
will not only benefit the European countries but also their own motherland. This gesture and
gratitude of honesty will enhance the country’s economy, their foreign exchange, and countries
image among the neighboring nations.
Most of the immigrants who work without proper documentation are not paid by the legal bills,
as they are not the part of enrolled payees list; hence they are not the proper regular taxpayers.
These immigrants should understand the graveness of the situation and support the European
government by paying the taxes properly so that they can get free aid in the form of food shelter
and health care benefits.
Every day, people are losing jobs and income, with no way of knowing when normality will return. Small island nations, heavily dependent on tourism, have empty hotels and desertedbeaches. The International Labour Organization estimates that 400 million jobs could have been lost.
The World Bank projects a US$110 billion decline in remittances this year, which could mean 800 million people will not be able to meet their basic needs. So the immigrants, to avoid the taxes on transaction send their remittances through illegal means
like Hawala/Hundi etc to cut on the rates of legal transactions. Hence they should be educated
on their support to rebuild the shattered economy.
The declines in the jobs were related to the industries that rely on in-person interactions such as
Hospitality, Education, Entertainment, Health services etc. most of the jobs lost were in the
hospitality sector. The economy of the SAARC, Arab, Turkish and African nations got affected
due to the drop in remittances from their overseas citizens. The estimates show that the decrease
is about 22% to the previous year i.e. 2019.
The global markets suffered due to a sharp decline in manufacturing activities and the industrial
outputs, which were previously, heightened by the geopolitical tensions and trade wars andaccording to some world-renowned economists the Liquidity issues.
Developing countries have lost at least US$220 billion in income, and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development has called for US$2.5 trillion to support them. Drawing
on the experiences with other outbreaks such as Ebola, HIV, SARS, TB and malaria, as well as our long history of working with the private and public sector, UNDP helped the countries
to urgently and effectively respond to COVID-19 as part of its mission to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and build resilience to crises and shocks.
The European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies is launching a series of webinars which will draw lessons from country experiences, analyzing how health systems can respond to the pandemic and what makes them more resilient to external shocks and crises.
One of the world renowned economic analysts said that:
“The covid related recession has led to the biggest transfers of wealth to the Ultra-wealthy in the
modern history”.
The economic slowdown along with unemployment will force the youth (Special care should be taken for the young girls and the teen agers so that they can be saved from the clutches of the ntrafficking mafia) from the Arab, Turkish, African and SAARC communities (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) to undertake illegal means to enter into Europe. The two routes through which the illegal immigrants i.e. the human trafficking’s entering are the Iran and Turkey borders, through the Mediterranean seas and the strait of Greece and Libya, both by land and oceanic transportations.
The European Union has had policies to control immigration from non-member countries. Spain for example seems to be facing a larger number of immigrants from Morocco and other North African countries where people want to escape their politically conflict-torn countries and seek a better standard of living in Europe. However, many people are dying trying to achieve this. The preceding paragraph was written some 8 years ago, in 1998. In September 2006, similar issues still exist. Inter Press Service reports on many issues continuing today. For
example, Spain recently “threatened to deport illegal immigrants residing within its borders.” In addition, “The British government says it is considering restricting access to nationals of Bulgaria and Romania—if and when the two countries gain admission to the EU.”
As the European Union has grown, it is common to hear concerns in UK for example, at the rising number of people from East Europe. The fear is the threat to job security and downward pressure on wages, which are understandable concerns. The underlying context of what makes this possible—the corporate drive for a more open, free market system within the EU that will see winners and losers, and that also tends towards the lowest common denominators—is hardly discussed.
Interestingly, IPS also adds that “Since 2004, when most Eastern Europe countries joined the EU, over 427,000 East Europeans, about two thirds from Poland, have registered for employment in Britain. At the same time, Western Europe is now more inclined to hire Eastern Europeans both for skilled and unskilled jobs than Asians and Africans.” Some human rights activists say that the European mrestrictions need to be modified or African nations need to overcome their under-development in order to alleviate some of these problems. However, the current form of globalization doesn’t look like it will immediately help the developing nations.
As the economic recession continuous the unemployed people may be approached by the fanatics of some terrorist organizations to carry out their malafide acts by luring the youngsters with money and women, and if these people become the part and parcel of those terrorist groups the world will be devastated by chaos and anarchy, for this the organizing of community and religious gatherings and advocating the pros and cons of such acts will be of some help.
