Today, there is no house\nin the world where Corona or COVID-19 is not being discussed. What is COVID-19\nis quite simple that is self explanatory. COVID has been derived from two\nEnglish words, coined together meaning receiving and sending video images to\ngeneral masses. In English language; Co\u201d is used to form a verbs or nouns that\nrefer to people sharing things or doing things together while Vid\u201d means\nrelating to or employed in the transmission or reception of a televised image\nor operating of video frequencies. There are two other explanations that seem\nnecessary to be mentioned here about suffixing of 19\u201d with COVID\u201d and about\nvideo frequency. In COVID-19, 19\u201d refers to last year (2019) when the drama in\nreal life was launched while video frequency is future digital communication\nthat would be based on a flexible Radio Access Network (RAN) and 5th<\/sup>\nGeneration (5G network), which are the cornerstone of next-generation network\ninfrastructure. We will not get into the technical details and focus on certain\nvery important revelations. In a nutshell it starts with digitalization and\nends at enforcement of digitalization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

World\nis watching COVID-19 pandemic\u2019s events with concern, precautions and\napprehensions. Media is performing a major role in transforming apprehensions\nabout COVID-19 pandemic into fear by displaying gloomy pictures without any\nhope and redress. It is compounded by statements of world leaders of unconfirmed\nand un-established mass deaths due to Coronavirus. In a nutshell, media has\nspread Coronavirus with much faster pace in hours than COVID-19 could have\nactually spread in decades. Currently, the world has been divided into two\ngroups; believers of divine faiths like Muslims, Christians and Jews and\nnon-believers including non-practicing and enlightened moderates. Mosques,\nChurches, Synagogue and other places of worship have been banned and Armed\nForces deputed to enforce restrictions on faithful from performing\nprayers.  In almost every country\nSecurity forces have deputed to disrupt and prevent normal day to day affairs\nwhile special apparatus has been established for\nmonitoring of mosques and maintaining social distancing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the\npast decades, countries professing ideology of Free World\u201d remained\nunsuccessful implementing the concept of and Global Village\u201d amongst the\nworld-nations. Despite cooperation and alliances of over fifty countries in\nreal time operations and wars, there was limited or no success everywhere in\nthe world including Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan,\nPalestine, Saudi Arabia, Turkey etc. Mosques, Churches, Synagogue, Seminaries,\nMadrassas and similar institution were seen as breeding grounds to challenge\nFree World\u201d. The Western war against Islam after dubbing its followers as\nFundamentalists\u201d and Terrorists\u201d, could not bring desired results, resulting\nin recession in world economies. When wars failed, hybrid war or 5th<\/sup>\nGeneration warfare was adopted on asymmetric models but that too could not\nbring desired results due to limited access to modern technology and digital\nbottlenecks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story of COVID-19\nstarts from April 2003, when Jack Ma faced a difficult situation during 93rd\nCanton Fair but Guangzhou was classified as a SARS epidemic zone, the disease\nspread due to disease pig population in China. Despite assurances from\nGuangzhou government that everything was fine, most exhibitors were reluctant\nto take the risk by participating in the Fair. In 2002, the 92nd Canton Fair\nwitnessed 135,000 exhibitors trading $19.7 billion in goods. But in 2003, it\ndropped to 22,000 exhibitors and only $3.8 billion in goods was traded.\nThe economic giants like Jack Ma and Bill Gates have worked out new strategies\nto achieve objective through digital remote operations as e-education, e-trade\nand commerce, e-health and other Es. Massive alarms of COVID-19\u201d was\npublicized through media to ensure everyone adopt online digital practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the dream of Global\nVillage\u201d gave birth to the concept of digital community, minimizing distancing\ndue to geographical boundaries, ethno-religious or racial isolation and\nbarriers due to varied educational systems. Thus in the decades to come digital\ntransformation is to lead future. It is being worked out that just like social media platforms, mainly\nFacebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube etc. changed the way\nwe socialize, interact, shop and perceive things, the new Digitalization would\nchange the world. This will also bring new channels to digital marketing\nthrough digital technology and its applications. Social media is the term we use to describe platforms that bring people\ntogether for the exchange of information rather than physical interactions.\nBefore 2019, the world could only reach social\nmedia for promoting both online or offline products and services but now it is\nclaimed to be the whole world would operate on digital techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should not surprise anyone\nthat despite claimed estimates by European Centre for Disease\nPrevention and Control that there 3623803 <\/strong>COVID-19\npositives cases and 256880<\/strong>\ndeaths as on 6 May 2020, military operation are continuing everywhere in the\nworld and are likely to gain momentum. Reportedly, despite the whole world has\nbeen apparently shaken by claimed spread of Coronavirus, NATO and other\nmilitary organizations have diverted all attentions and energies from pandemic\ndisease to military operations, especially in Africa and Middle East. Although,\nJens Stoltenberg, NATO\u2019s Secretary-General has dubbed these allegations about\nNATO\u2019s organization\u2019s role in Coronavirus pandemic as disinformation but it is\nbeing projected that some ground realities cannot be denied and ignored that NATO allies were absent in providing airlifts, medical\nsupport, and transportation to the patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cannot\nignore to investigate that there is also a general perception that Coronavirus\nis a biological weapon created to achieve some objectives. Although real, the\nCoronavirus has been exaggerated manifolds and its spread is intentional\nagainst the human rights and other international laws to implement the new\nstrategies of the bankers and businessmen. The\npackage for world governments to introduce smart and strategic technologies\nbased applications and national plans to build future of education, health,\neconomy, services etc. on digital lines, using Artificial\nIntelligence (AI) and Robotics solutions with focus on operating from\nhome. In the first step old systems, applications, softwares as well as\nhardwares will be no more compactable and new versions of 5G would be\nprerequisite to enter into the future. This is aimed to achieve objectives\nranging from new businesses to control over the day to day affairs of the whole\nworld (Published in theorientnews.com). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
