説明

COVID-19 has created a crisis for the entire world. Since it began, so many things have happened. The pandemic is a great challenge to humanity. It highlights the vulnerability of humanity, inequality in the society, politicians’ incompetence and power structure in the distribution of corona vaccine. It shows the vulnerability of the service industry like tourism, transportation, bars and restaurants. Financial compensation for workers whose wages are not fully paid are the policies of many countries which are not sustainable. Many workers have lost their jobs, and no nation can compensate for the economic loss in the long term. We will not find a cure for the disease any time soon. We must live with COVID-19 and its variants. The global economic situation will be shrinking. Unemployment rate is growing and poverty for those at the bottom is severe. We need to make structural changes of political and economic systems for better and secure lives. We should seriously aim to be a social animal to bear the burden commonly and globally. The popular words like “Homo Deus” and “Anthropocene” are nothing than the hubris of human beings. Solidarity with entire humanity and ecology should be a common good for us all.
