The unseen causes of Novel Coronavirus

By Rajiv Roy |

Away from the seemingly causes that led to the pandemic called Novel Coronavirus aka CoViD-19 it cannot be denied that it can well be attributed to the bitter spat between USA and China over trade.
The CoViD-19 could well be a creation out of vengeance after what we have witnessed in terms of sanctions on imports by both nations.

The arrest of Dr. Charles Lieber - the Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University for making "false, fictitious and fraudulent statements" to the US Defense Department about China's Thousand Talents Plan (a Chinese government program to recruit foreign scientists and researchers) and his affiliation with Wuhan University of Technology, by CIA makes it amply clear about the intent of China.

The question that arises now is, Was the CoViD-19 a bio attack?

But who is going to benefit from the trade stand-off between USA and China? Experts reckons that other nations are only going to benefit and we have already seen how India is coming closer to the USA.

The Indo-US relationship has filliped in recent times under the leadership of Modi and Trump.

Nowhere in the history of India, so far, can anyone find a direct to & fro visit by a sitting US President, right from its soil to the soil of the former and back, without any stopover visit to other regional neighbors as seen in the past.

The growing Indo-US relationship, pre and post "Howdy Modi" and "Namaste Trump", is viewed as a threat to the Chinese - which is known for taking stands that earned it the alleged brand of "traditional traitors".

The US accuses China for not doing enough in the initial months to control the communicable infective virus that was first noticed in its territory of Wuhan, allegedly in a government run laboratory close to Wuhan fish market, thereafter killing thousands and endangered millions of lives world over.

There are speculations in the US media that there is a possibility that the CoViD-19 disaster outbreak could be the accidental result of biological weapons research.

China is also accused of hiding the outbreak from the world and when it went out of control, it just spill over like hot milk.

Could it be out of vengeance that the bacillus was fuelled to spread worldwide to slow down global trade.

Well looking at the current scenario, world trade is at its fractional low.

China, although, was accused of hiding the initial outbreak but in reality it was in total control of it and one can even bet that it has the vaccine too, to cure it.

We don't know for sure how long the germ shall last or it's total lifespan but we can say from past experiences that China will come out sooner than later, suddenly declaring that it has discovered the cure for it.

The US is lashing out at China for all the economic losses it has incurred since the eruption of the virus and said that it will make the Chinese pay the compensation.

Will China be ultimately isolated, globally or whether India emerge over all.

We have to wait and watch.

Can Congress survive without Nehru-Gandhi dynasty?

The Congress debacle was imminent and equally looming was a harsh post-mortem that followed. The Congress in its latest sitting in New Delhi have arrived at communication strategy of the party was the main reason for the disaster. But that is only one side of the story. An over hundred year old party lost a general election, eyeing for a hat-trick, only because of communication is indigestible. But even this post-mortem is not free from encumbrances as it was more ‘structured’ and looked like a show. Chief Ministers of states and the party’s president and vice-president have offered to resign but the party refused to accept their resignations. If a debacle of the magnitude of 44 seats out...

Majithia Wage Board: The Meghalaya way

As the date approached to implement the Majithia Wage Board (MWB) recommendations that speak about pay hike for journalists and non-journalists for newspapers and news agencies w.e.f. April 1, 2014 media houses scrambled to do their bit in Meghalaya. These recommendations that ensure fair pay structure for employees are implemented by the media bosses reluctantly and in some cases dubiously, as many say. The Information and Public Relations Minister of Meghalaya has recently sent letters to media houses towards implementation of MWB. Thereafter, media houses are in the process to execute the same. But these are not free from encumbrances. That media bosses are increasingly angry with the...

Focus now on: Will Modi deliver?

With the biggest event on earth coming to an end the stage is now set ostensibly for the NDA to take over the reins at 7 Race Course Road, New Delhi. The exit polls that are doing the round now is just a precursor to a possible BJP led government at the centre. This is going to be the best ever show by the saffron party and worst ever by Congress. In fact, after Rajiv Gandhi the country may well be giving the strongest ever government in BJP post May 16. And what else can be expected from the electorate if it empowers the saffron brigade – at which they are looking up as the best alternative – a full majority. If this proves to be true then the stitching and horse trading that is associated...

Modi: The man of issues

An essential facet of BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi’s campaigning is that he has addressed considerably on those issues on which no other political parties and their leaders have dared to speak. The Congress party, which is expected to have addressed these issues of the commoners have shamelessly stayed away from it deliberately and spent all its time, money and energy in containing the ever growing influence of Modi. Like him there is none other who has travelled all over the country. Even Sonia Gandhi’s countrywide tour of 2004 could not grab such euphoria that Modi is gathering like a star. And in all these rallies, which is accounted to be over 400 so far, over 95%, has...

Modi Sarkar: are we almost there?

The emerging trends overtly indicate that a BJP led government will assume power in New Delhi after May 16. And going by the poll pundits’ version and opinion polls, it appears that the BJP’s election slogan Aabki Baar Modi Sarkar will actually get cemented. The BJP’s electioneering campaign has been centred on its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and that his wave has swept the length and breadth of this country can be gauged not only by the opposition campaigning statements but even school going kids are heard rhyming Aabki Baar Modi Sarkar. The non-stop blitzkrieg by Modi is not only commendable but a tremendous feat that he has achieved because it needs countering the...

The unknown side of Swami Vivekananda

Exactly 113 years ago, on 27th April 1901 Swami Vivekananda gave a historic speech that not only pierced his countrymen but also the then Chief Commissioner of undivided Assam, Sir Henry Cotton and other officers of the British establishment here at the Quinton Memorial Hall at Shillong later came to be known as the Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Cultural Centre (RKMVCC). Vivekananda’s visit to the northeastern region was not any coincidence but it was a preplanned one by the world renowned revered monk-philosopher, who has travelled worldwide spreading the wisdom of ancient Indian. In April, 1901 Swami Vivekananda visited the then undivided Assam from Dhaka. In fact, in that year...

NE: where Innovators want to walk

Silicon Valley, which is home to many of the world’s largest technology corporations as well as thousands of small start-ups, located in Northern California precisely the Southern Bay portion of the San Francisco Bay area, has a comparative reference in Bangalore in India – which is called the Silicon Valley of India. This reference to that of the original Silicon Valley in USA is attached to the Southern Indian city because of its status as a hub for IT companies, research and development, electronics and software production. Bangalore is also the ten most preferred entrepreneurial locations in the world. Now whether the North-Eastern (NE) region of India can go nearer to these technical...

Electioneering heat and dusk

The uncontrolled polarized campaigning that the people of this country are witnessing of late has started to boomerang now. And rightly so, that plethora of anything is not good is what can be seen here. The two national political parties – BJP and Congress – along with other regional parties are now falling in their own soup as most of their leaders are caught making irresponsible comments thereby blushing the party leadership most of whom have distanced themselves from the culprits. These political parties have even issued rejoinders condemning the statements given by their leaders. Of late the vibratory speeches made by Praveen Togadia of RSS, Giriraj Singh of BJP, Shazia Ilmi of AAP,...

Of funny names, surnames and more

Well if you think that Meghalaya is only famous for Cherrapunjee – the rainiest place on earth, Mawsynram – renowned for its hot water springs that can heal arthritis and other bodily pains, Mawlynnong – the cleanest village in Asia, Balpakram national park and the rest of it then you are wrong. There is another attractive side to this state, which is hilarious indeed. The names of the tribal people of this state, which has the potentiality to make people guffaw, endlessly. Have you ever heard of ‘Latrine’ and ‘Submarine’? These two terms, the former does not only mean the place where we go early morning to lighten ourselves and the latter is a vessel that can operate underwater. These two...
