Wuhan’s connection of Coronavirus

Omkar Dattatray
Whether China and its friendly countries would like it or not but the glaring fact is that the world epidemic COVID-19 has its origin in Wuhan, a city in super power china. Even the world health organisation has remarked that the COVID-19 has its conception in Wuhan China. The WHO’S observation has some sort of recognition in the world matters so for as the health related matters are concerned and thus has its seal of approval over the COVID-19 connection with the meat market called as the vet market in China. Therefore the coronavirus has its origin in China’s Wuhan as the residual of the killed animals and their blood is not scientifically managed and the result is the COVID- 19 with which the world is grappling today. The COVID-19 has consumed lakhs of lives all over the world including the developed countries as they also have no vaccine to fight COVID-19.The epidemic which has gripped the world should be fought jointly. Director-general of WHO Dr. Tedors Adhanon Ghebreyesus has said that a wholesale market in the central Chine’s city of Wuhan played a role in the outbreak of the noval coronavirus last year, as the source or possibly as an amplifying setting. This market played a role in the event that is clear. U.S secretary of state Mile Pompeo has said there is a significant amount of evidence as the virus came from the Wuhan laboratory although he also said there is no certainty. But, the way China is not cooperating with the world community is enough to say that the virus in question has a Wuhan connection as it has its origin in china city. The US secretary said that China continued to block access of the health experts from UNO as well as US scientists from getting access to the samples of the virus needed for the study. Whatever the Chinese authorities may say but it has been established that the role of Wuhan in the spreading of the coronavirus cannot be exaggerated by anybody. But the way China is blocking the WHO experts and also of the United States of America in probing and investigation of the COVID-19 origin is very intriguing and disturbing and its amounts to the fact that the virus has the Chinese connection. Now when the WHO as well as the United states has said that the COVID-19 has its origin in Wuhan china, this fact cannot be denied by anybody. The Chinese communist party continues to block access to the western world, world’s best scientists to figure out exactly what happened. China flaunts French connection to Wuhan laboratory. Accusing US secretary of state Mike Pompeo of fabricating lies over the involvement of the virology lab in Wuhan, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hua Chunying sought to deflect criticism over its role by highlighting its French connection. Whatever it is the fact is that the whole world having sleepless nights because the COVID- 19 is threatening the whole population of the world and more and more precious human lives and china should be ashamed for its role in the origin and spread of the deadly virus which has no cure the dictionary of the medical fraternity. Instead of making the virus a point of prestige all the countries should co-operate to find a solution to the pandemic. Therefore instead of politicising the issue of coronavirus the world countries should put their hearts and minds together to fight back the coronavirus and not make petty politicking. The COVID-19 is threatening the whole world today and it should be fought together. All the countries developed, developing and the poor ones are bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 and thus it deserves the joint response of the world countries. In any case the human lives have to be saved and this is possible when the governments of the world and the people will put forth their efforts at the eradication of virus. Anyways the Wuhan connection remains there in-spite of the Chinese opposition.
