As we talk about Coronavirus spreading around the globe, some opine it came from bat from china and, as a result of usual transportation of people through air traffic accidentally engulfed the whole world.
Some say, it was manufactured to be used as a biological weapon and that too for the first time. If we take a serious view of the prevailing situation and observe the last few decades, we are bound to conclude that conventional/proxy warfare has remained a failure in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Gulf, Africa and other parts of the world.
Whosoever waged the war has had to spend much more than it gained from the adventure along with bringing bad name and shame to the country. Spending on war and the allies is bound to cause damage to the economy.
Choosing unfriendly war theatre resulted in rendering these troops as aliens in the local inhabitants. The wars earned displeasure and bad sentiments for own masses. Losing moral ground in the eyes of the world and creating unwanted friction against a number of other nations remained an outcome of the wars across the globe.
Now as we talk about nuclear war, it has a very meager chance to gain acceptability amongst the countries in the newly-developed scenario.
It not only carries destruction for the opponents but destroys all other stuff unnecessarily besides leaving a fairly large amount of destruction for own army and materials. So it is left with actually no war except an idea of deterrence for the enemy. If we talk about chemical warfare, it is also too visible a bad option that has proven in Iraq.
One more is the economic warfare, which is already on between the powers but then dependence upon one another has enhanced to such a large extent that a particular country cannot take highly aggressive measures against the opponents. Because doing so at times, can result compromising own interests that makes this option difficult to fully implement.
The covert option of warfare that is left, is biological warfare. This is one option if planned carefully and can be implemented covertly. The recent wave of Coronavirus provides a lead and dictates thinking in the same dimension. Some say it erupted in Wuhan City of China from a bat to humans, which has neither an evidence nor Chinese confirm any such fact.
Rather, the rumors heard around the world that the virus was prepared in a laboratory in some part of the world by some country and purposely injected into human then exported to various countries for a planned damage.
America and Israel carried out a germ exercise against expected epidemic in 2018. Did they know or had planned to trigger the biological warfare? Initially, the virus entered China being an economic giant against America, the second worst hit country in Asia was Iran, the hardcore anti-America nation.
A movie Contagion released in 2011, showed the environment resembling to what we are going through today. Some people say such an idea with high degree of accuracy can’t be grabbed by someone just being an ordinary writer unless with a collaboration of an expert from epidemiology or a virologist.
To conclude, I would say the Coronavirus has no evidence or proof being transferred to human by bats or any other animal. Whosoever, created the so called catastrophe would have designed to squeeze benefits out of it. Was he successful or it bounced back on him is something very early to be determined. Nonetheless, the power of controlling any part of the universe rests only with almighty and none.
