Just like any other Year, the Year of 2019 was about to end and a new decade was on the rise. Everything around the world was nice and everyone was waiting for the new decade with wonderful thoughts to begin with. "The Year 2020 would be crucial one for all the countries around the world", they said. Only in time they would understand it's importance. The date was 31st Dec 2019 and the place was Wuhan, China where it all began and the rest is history. 

A pneumonia outbreak had been reported which was later traced to the Novel Coronavirus. In matter of days, the city of Wuhan became the center of an epidemic. Initially the only place to be affected was China where more than 1000 cases were reported daily. As days progressed, the virus spread to different parts of the world. As of today, more that 1 Million positive cases of 180 different countries have been affected by this virus. The scenario is such that all the superpower countries are struggling against it. United States of America surpassed China and Italy in terms of total cases while Italy leads the death chart. Check out more about this :  COVID-19 INDIA .

Among everything, something about the Chinese numbers doesn't feel right. Do they have something that is unknown to the world ? There must be something that can bring down the curtains from all this. Do they have some vaccine or did they make one ?  Is the COVID-19 an accident or a well planned conspiracy ?

China has reported about 3300+ deaths as of now. Wuhan, being the center is affected the most so the death toll is most. Beijing and Shanghai are some other major Chinese cities and the cases from these are very less while the countries that are more than 10000 Km away such as Italy, Spain, US ,Germany are devastated by this. Some people would argue that China took precautions and did not allow it to spread to other cities. And others would argue that "Why did China allow the people of other nation to travel back to their countries". Out of more than 82000 cases, about 72000 have recovered. The Chinese business that was once down due to COVID-19 are all up and running. Now the business around the world is down and the Chinese are investing all around. Why ? Because every investment has become cheap. The reason ? Every nation has made the fight to this epidemic their first priority.

It seems rather odd that no new(very less in numbers compared globally)  COVID-19 cases are being reported in China. How did China treat those 72000+ people when the developed nations are having trouble. This virus has brought the superpowers US, Italy, UK to their Knees where the medical science is exceptional. The World Knows that China is next to US in the economy. The Chinese motives are clear to the world that it want to become number 1. China cannot defeat US in military might. So, is this a plan to defeat US by crumbling it's economy ? At this point of time it is uncertain. But one thing is certain. When all of this is over, China will have the World to answer. It can even lead to a major setback to Chinese economy.  We often speak of low cost and quality Chinese  products with low lifespan. No one would have guessed that a virus of Chinese origin would such a devastation. When will this epidemic end ? Only time will provide the answers to the questions asked by humanity.
