Coronavirus: Are we underestimating it!

Months have passed. We have seen lockdowns, social distancing etc. But one thing that we notice that corona is steady. It is not subsiding. It may be slow at some places and fast at other but the rule is, its GROWING.
  If the situation persists it is just a matter of time, it is going to knock at our doors. And along with it will come 'deaths', untimely and unjust deaths as if it was a wrath of God. Delhi today had around 57 deaths in a day. And expected cases in Delhi half a million by July end.
Doctors are expecting it will make a peak and then subside. But these are mere speculations. What if that does not happen? If this continues we are definitly going to have a black diwali this year and after that also. Last big epidemic in India was in 1920, which costed around a crore lives. That was during British era. There were so many dead bodies, there was shortage of wood to burn them. That may happen again. It is hard to think of death presently but nobody's life is safe now. Can you think of loosing your near and dear ones or even your own life right now? But don't be too optimistic. Deaths are around the corner and they are approaching us day by day.
Another thing that seems likely by year end or so is war. And China will be on one side. On the other side could be nations like US and Russia who suffer too much due to corona and are mighty enough to deal with China.
So what I see now is turbulent times ahead with our lives at stake. Corona is going to change the face of the world, for all time to come.
On an interesting note, there are prophecies by many Indian saints like Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya of Shantikunj, Baba Jai Gurudev etc. that are predicting pandemic causing millions of deaths, war and formation of new world order. Interestingly India will be the next world leader after all this is over.
