No wonder God got fed up and decided to reformat the system and reboot the world. It was an incident waiting to happen. And it would have happened anyway. The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic just made what is supposed to happen next year or in ten years’ time happen today. That is all.NO HOLDS BARREDRaja Petra KamarudinI really do not know whether the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is God’s masterplan to reboot the world or to reformat the system the world is operating in, because for sure I am not privy to God’s plans. But even if you do not believe in God, you must surely admit that some divine intervention or karma is at play here
How the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic compares to “normal” fluThe University of Oxford states that, in 2008-2009, there were 13,000 deaths in the UK alone related to the flu. Since October last year, 20,000 people died from flu complications in the US, which has led to one expert describing the coronavirus as a “blip” (blip: an unexpected, minor, and typically temporary deviation from a general trend)
An estimated 80,000 people died on Malaysian roads over the last ten yearsMaybe we should impose a car/motorcycle “lockdown” and ban traffic on Malaysian roads and highways. Then 7,000 less Malaysians will need to go to their graves in 2020. Also, ban smoking and drinking (meaning beer and liquor), which take more lives than the COVID-19 coronavirus. In the UK, more people die from smoking and drinking than Malaysians who die from traffic accidents. Yet no one cares about that as much as they worry about the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.No, I am not belittling or playing down the dangers of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is indeed a threat to humanity. What I am saying is the bigger threat to humanity is the economic crisis that is going to be triggered by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Long after the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is no longer a threat (and the vaccine to fight it has been discovered), the world is going to continue to suffer the economic effects of this crisis
Tens of trillions are spent on arms and wars, which are bankrupting the world and do not benefit humankind one bitThe bottom-line is, for more than 150 years since the late-1800s the world has seen a war between socialism and capitalism (or the proletariat and the bourgeoisie). That ideological war resulted in two world wars that saw more than 125 million people lose their lives. Then we had the revolutions and regional wars in between that took another 50 million lives
The American system is a house of cards built on perception and backed by the worthless paper money that is being printed non-stopThe money you have in your pocket is not worth the paper it is printed on. In fact, today, there is no longer even any paper. It is all digital. And the paper money you hold so dearly is merely a promissory note. It is a promise that the bank would honour it if you walk into the bank to cash it in
When Japan lost the war, the Malayan ‘banana money’ became worthless overnightYes, the entire monetary and economic system is fake. It is mere perception. It can keep going as long as you do not disrupt it. But the instant you disrupt it, like in this COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, it will come crashing down because there is no foundation to prop it up
When governments need money all they need to do is print them and pretend that they are worth somethingWe pay the cost of running the country and for development based on expected future earnings. We finance arms purchases and wars all over the world in the tens of trillions the same way. More than half of what we pay for does not benefit humankind one bit but we spend that money anyway. We are spending today, mostly on what we do not need, with money we have not earned yet but hope to earn long after we are dead and our children and grandchildren are in charge|
