There is a new colonial virus in the world - COVID-19

Its complexities far exceeded the new world order. It's redefining politics, technology, social standards, cultures, education, trade, global diplomacy, family life, faith and religion.

The global transport and supply- chain mechanism and protocols have to succumb to this weapon of mass destruction.

It needs rapid response applications, proactivity, science, logistics and expert power to successfully navigate through these costly and grave complexities of the 21st century.

The world is almost lost with a high degree of uncertainties. The opportunity to go to the UN Security Council meeting, to address this common enemy is not even available except if virtual platforms would be harnessed.

What needs to be demystified is whether the virus is colonializing the world or a country and/or a group of people are attempting to colonise the world with the virus.

While we embark on scientific research, public health education and security measures, the effect of climate change should not be overruled in our war to save humanity and planet earth.
