People everywhere are showing a belief that we have seen the worst of the coronavirus pandemic, COVID-19. It has been assessed by experienced professionals of health, economics, finance, business and politics that we are wrong to think so.
Dr. Anthony Fauci and many others have been warning that a second wave is in the offing, and that its effects will be worse than what we are now experiencing. According to a survey by AFP, the number of deaths worldwide doubled in less than two months, passing four hundred and eighty thousand. WHO Director General Tedros Ghebreyesus recently warned that global figures would reach 10 million within the next week.
The IMF has warned that this “crisis like no other” would reduce the global GDP by almost five percent this year, ‘wiping out an astonishing $12 trillion over two years.’ The US is forecast to shrink by eight percent; France, Italy, Spain and Britain will suffer double-digit contractions.
As is always the case, it is anticipated that persons in the mid-range, lower, and no-income brackets will experience the worst sufferings. When the effects of the post-election motorcade and regime-serving gimmicks begin to set in, will those in authority care to admit to their endangerment of our people? For an absolute certainty, where the ongoing pandemic is concerned, the worst is yet to come!
