Coronavirus: lesson learned by China, Will USA and Europe follow?


USA, European Union and China flags


In the recent developments, Wuhan has not seen a single Novel Corona Virus (Covid-19) case in last three days. It is a ray of hope, self-belief, and a rare moment of Joy for the rest of the world after the outbreak of Covid-19.
WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom, We must exercise caution, situation can be reversed, and the experience of cities countries that have pushed back this virus gave courage and hope.
While USA focuses on itself, is still in denial and indulge in a blame game by referring it as Chinese Virus, Kung Flu and Wuhan Virus by the President of USA Donald Trump. On the other hand, Europe is in complete state of helplessness and lock down after the Covid-19 has badly affected Italy, France, Germany, Spain and others.

Chinese medical team members gather to attend a press conference in Italy, March 18, 2020.

After dealing with the worst situation at home, Beijing has responsibly turned its focus abroad, by sending a group of 300 Chinese intensive-care doctors and medical equipment to Italy and Spain in line to deal with the pandemic by utilizing experience at home.

Noteable head of states statements after the outbreak of coronavirus:


Serbian PM Aleksander Vucic wrote a letter to Chinese President Xi Jinping, not only as a Dear friend, but as a Dear brother to help Serbia with medical equipment and supplies denied by European Union.
He further stated, European Union solidarity does not exist, it was a fairy-tale on paper.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, urged world community to withdraw sanctions and seek help for the sake of humanity. 

Think collectively and show solidarity to other countries:


Some are claiming it in favor of China as a diplomatic win, becoming a hero or a bid to re-brand. However, China has learned a lesson that this pandemic can only be defeated with solidarity and help among states in the present Geo-economic world. One individual, community, society, country or continent stand affected by Covid-19, the whole world is in danger.

Furthermore, if the developed countries could not cope up with best medical facilities, how would the third world countries will manage to deal with much lesser medical facilities and equipment.

It is the time for the world leaders to come up with a holistic, inclusive and comprehensive approach to deal with the pandemic Covid-19 responsibly and show solidarity with all the states at the time of their need.
