Are we really going ahead?

Virus, Lockdown, Infection, Quarantine, Isolation, Co-morbidity---these are the words that have been dominating the world for a couple of months. Earlier, we had a arrogant feeling that how a Micro-Sized Virus could cause unrepairable harm to such powerful human race! We thought that we could be able to crush it in a blow! But ironically we are now struggling with the massive strike of that Micro-Sized Virus which we thought before to be inferior. Being unable to bear the viral strike, the world is now observing Lockdown which is slowly becoming a part of our lives. Lockdown had brought a mixed sense of feelings in the lives of people. Many of us has begun to feel sad and lonely during the Lockdown. In earlier times, students would have had gone to school, working people would have gone to work and everything would have been just the way it was. But the Lockdown changed it all dramatically. Similarly , we also had another superior feeling that our progress in the field of Science had reached its zenith. News of human beings conquering the unknowns, its progress in Artificial Intelligence and even journeys to the Moon or Mars filled the newspapers thoroughly. Nowadays, when the television is switched on or if a newspaper is read we find that they are overflooding with news of Covid-19 infections, people's deaths around the world and tons of penniless people who are facing great misery. The virus which is a trillion times microscopic than a grain of sand is now posing big threat to the planet ! 'Science had reached a certain height in its progress." It's true. But a note should always be kept in mind that there is still a lot to go ahead, there is still a lot to know, there is a still a lot to discover. We are still hopeful that the new journey of Science would be resumed by the development of Covid-19 vaccine.
