COVID has killed its millions in over two years and has taken the world over the limits of exhaustion. No one wants COVID to carry on unrelenting even with variants that are less lethal. People want it all over. They want their freedoms and their lives back.
So will COVID make way for a big war or for multiple wars in different geographical theatres that could kill even more millions? The preoccupation of news channels point in this depressing direction.
COVID has not only taken many lives. It has also significantly reduced the industrial pace and the pace of travel. These have in turn reduced the harnessing of industrial metals, natural resources, gases, and oils.
Reduced numbers of people and a slowdown in industrial production and travel are definite contributors to eco-preservation. They are a definite means to reducing global warming.
What we however do not know for certain is if the above precipitating factors just developed naturally or were deliberately put in place by sovereign human hands.
Humanity is likely never to know the answer.
