“Eneke the bird says that since men have learned to shoot without missing, he has learned to fly without perching.”
— Igbo Proverb
The above proverb popularized by Chinua Achebe , the late literary giant sums up my thoughts on the situation we currently face.
The
global pandemic caused by a new strain of the CoronaVirus COVID-19
created a challenge the likes of which has not been seen in the last 100
years. At the time I typed this, there have been more than 423K confirmed cases globally with almost 19K
fatalities. This virus has proved to be a leveller in every way
imaginable by cutting across national, social, economic and racial
boundaries. It has combined with a number of other factors to create a
perfect storm that has humanity fighting on the same side for the first
time in living memory.
I shared a few thoughts about this in a medium post . You can read the full thing here
