Coronavirus and its origins - part 2

Coronavirus and its origins – part 2

Apr 08, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Recently, there has been quite a bit of back and forth between the world powers of China and the USA, as to who is responsible for the pandemic.
The USA says that their version of the virus in their lab is a different genome from what is in circulation. While China is of the opinion that their first patient originated as a result of the recent Military World Games in Wuhan (insinuating that the USA released the virus as an act of war). The games that some play.
The backdrop of the current situation in world economics (USA tariffs) and the recent navy incursion between the two superpowers does not bode well for a continued strong peaceful relationship that is genuine. Such a mishap could lead to economic hardships for these two giant trading partners, and provide an opportunity for other competitors to develop.
We must also remember the history of China and India during the early years of Indian independence. Even an olive branch from a nation standing on the sacrifices of the Mahatma, did not prevent an escalation of conflict at their border with the Chinese.
The result was a healthy level of distrust between Prime Minister Nehru and his counterpart Chairman Mao. A similar reaction may be expected from President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping, whose aspirations may be to become Emperor.
If indeed this is the beginning of biological warfare, the death toll has been tremendous and the far-reaching consequences extremely high. However, we must consider that there are other parties who would benefit from such a conflict, and it would be premature to assume that a clandestine operative would not take advantage of such a venue as the world military games, to start the world down this potentially disastrous path.
One must first look at all of one’s enemies and their individual and joint capabilities. It’s quite an intricate web that has been spun, and the fires of many enemies and economic competitors continue to be inflamed.
The Military World Games do allow an enemy country to access world leaders via their top military commanders. I guess there is a play on the word Corona. Things are never as simple as they appear, and now the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has become yet another exposed leader. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his loved ones.
All Guyanese must consider such matters as the nation collectively decides upon its future as a democracy. A wealthy nation is always a potential target for mischief and war in its many forms.
Best regards,
Mr. Jamil Changlee
Chairman
The Cooperative Republicans of Guyana
