It used to be that when the United States sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold. But in the current scenario, when China sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold. Covid-19 has frozen all the activities of the entire world. If we do not take the precautionary measures in the next three to four weeks the disease will begin to spread in the poor developing countries, including Pakistan. Developing countries could collapse under the stress because these countries have chaotic and dysfunctional health and governance sectors.
Looking out for one another in this time of peril is not the solution but it is a time to come together and prevent the spread of the virus without any blame game.
