Few important lessons learnt in the past few days:

  1. United States is no longer the world’s leading country.
  2. China won the 3rd World War without firing a missile and no one could handle it.
  3. Europeans are not as educated as they appear.
  4. We can survive vacations without trips to Europe and USA.
  5. Rich people are in fact less immune to diseases than the poor.
  6. When prices are rising and there is fear in the air, human beings are opportunistic and despicable no matter their socioeconomic position.
  7. No Reverend, Pastor, Rabai, Mullah, Alfa or Pandit saved patients. Doctors and healthcare workers did.
  8. Human beings are the real viruses on the planet.
  9. We sure can spend Billions of Dollars on the poor without red- tapism.
  10. Health professionals are worth more than sports’ persons and entertainers.
  11. Oil is worthless in a society without consumption.
  12. Humans now know how animals feel in the zoo.
  13. The planet regenerates quickly without humans at play.
  14. Majority of people can work from home. No need for commuting and building high rise office buildings.
  15. All our families can survive without junk food.
  16. Prisoners in jail for petty crimes can be released.
  17. Living a hygienic life is not difficult.
  18. Not all that glitters is gold.
  19. There are a lot of good unknown people in the World.
  20. If you build more schools and make them free, you will have to construct less hospitals and probably prisons.
  21. Like politicians, the media is equally manipulative and opportunistic.
  22. Fame, wealth and position are vanity.
  23. Health is indeed wealth.
  24. Labels of “developed world”, “developing world”, “underdeveloped world” , are so old school and unnecessary. They do nothing but to entrench exclusion and inequality.
  25. The first vaccine for Covid-19 must be tested in Covid-19 ravaged countries. Dangling money to selfish and heartless African politicians, to allow trial runs to be done in their countries is evil and merely a trick to unleash a weapon of mass destruction on the continent.

Stay blessed 😊
