This world has seen many deadly diseases like EBOLA, RIFTVALLEY FEVER, MONKEYPOX MARBURG VIRUS DISEASE, LASSA FEVER, MERS-C0V, SARS, NIPAH, ZIKA, CRIMEAN-CONGO HAEMORRHAGIC FEVER, CHICKEN POX, SMALL POX, CHOLERA, DENGUE, CHIKUNGUNYA etc. As of now 31,517,450 people are infected by Corona which has caused more than 970,074 deaths. WHO has warned regarding the second wave of Corona, Most of the countries has lifted the lockdown and the infection rate and death rate has rapidly increased.  WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stressed it was still possible to control the virus, with effort. “The trajectory is in our hands, and it’s everybody’s business, and we should all contribute to stop this pandemic”.   

Before we can find a solution for this coronavirus, a new disease has started infecting in Anhui and Zhejiang in CHINA.  This disease is caused by tick-borne virus.  This virus has killed 7 and 60 infected.  It has been found that these virus are spread through ticks.  This virus is also transmitted from humans to humans through blood and mucous.This virus creates Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome.  30% of the infected die which is more alarming since the death ratio is high than that of covid which is only 5 %.  CORONA or TICK is not the end but more to come, we have to stand tall and fight against the viruses.

They say this Yuga is called as Kali Yuga, Experts predict that the end of the Yuga will certainly be followed by dreadful earth changes and civilization falls, as is characteristic of the transitional periods. What more are there to come, let us wait and see.
