24 Important Lessons From Coronavirus Pandemic
1. The United States is no longer the world’s leading country, China is.
This is a pretty hard pill to swallow, but as it stands right now, China is the world power when you talk of the economy. With over 1.4 billion people, China has turned its large numbers to world production support. Also, every country including the United States right now depends on China for its productions and supply chain at an affordable cost. Even in the midst of this coronavirus pandemic, China is the first and only country that recovered first and resumed economic activities, manufacturing medical kits for all the countries that are seriously hit with the COVID-19 virus.

Even the 5G network that is projected to be up by 2025 in the United States, UK, and South Korea will be ready in China in 2020 giving them a 5-year gap to become the mass producer and supplier of 5G equipment to the world, this will not only create over 4 million jobs but will give another big score mark to the Chinese GDP.
2. China won the 3rd World War without firing a missile and no one could handle it:
We might not like to hear this but the world is fighting world war and one of the thoughts mentioned above said there is a conspiracy theory to this for economic and political power. If this is the case, then, China has won and defeated them will take America a lot without firing a single missile.
3. Europeans are not as educated as they appear:
Europe was the most hit by the Corona Virus before America took it and so many accolades have been given
4. We can survive vacations without trips to Europe and the USA.

6. Human beings are opportunistic and despicable no matter their socioeconomic position when prices are rising.
In most places where the coronavirus hit, there were cases of people taking advantage of the situation and becoming high capitalist by hiking the prices of food and medical equipment.
7. No Pastor, Rabai, Mullah, Alfa or Pandit saved patients. Doctors and healthcare workers did.
Major religious activities were stopped as a way to curtail the fast spread of the coronavirus pandemic. Top religions locations like st. Peter’s square at Vatican and Grand Mosque in Mecca were seen deserted and everyone had to worship their God from home and digital channels.
There was no single miracle recorded, all the recovered patients were treated by medical personnel.
8. Human beings are the real viruses on the planet.
Pretty deep, but humans spread the virus, the virus did not spread.
9. We sure can spend Billions of Dollars on the poor without red-tapism.

Someone like President Muhammed Buhari had to address Nigerians after he was heavily attacked and called out on Twitter for keeping mute in the midst of global panic while presidents of other countries addressed their citizens.

The coronavirus pandemic has given another strong evidence as to why wealth and riches are vanities. All of a sudden; no one was busy anymore, no more business meetings, flights and all that made the earth and nature super busy. Everyone just wanted to survive and tell the story.
24. Health is indeed wealth.
The demand for orange, lemon, grape, garlic, supplements and other immune-boosting foods went up because everyone realized the hard way that health is indeed wealth.
