ALREADY NOT YET: HOPES
AND FEAR FOR 2021
- By Sakshi Saklani
We are about to end 2020 that can also be said as
a nightmare year, but before going in 2021 there
is history left in 2020 of health economics, social
behaviors, careers, and lifestyles of over 7.8
billion inhabitants breathing on the earth.
Covid -19 has affected almost all the public and
govt. the sector in India that are related to
health, democracy, trade, arms control, and
human rights also travel plans got shattered,
resultantly affecting the hotel, aviation,
tourism, and hospitality industries, while many
blooming and clothing businesses came on the
verge of closure, bankruptcy, and collapse, as the
damage was already done on the global economic
front. But it also transformed in a few good ways
too, for example, the previously tattered ozone
layer is now repaired due to lesser carbon
emission from largely reduced air traffic, and the
plummeting industrial and transportation
activities. For economists, this transformation
will result in poverty but for those who love to
see a balanced and healthy eco-system, the
3
change is welcome, also people are now
interested in learning in the field of direct
selling, people are trying to shift from j to selfindependence.
Recent reports said that 10 years
from now there will be almost half of the jobs
available for the people, so this is one of the
hopes for 2021 if they shift to a direct selling line.
The process of granting emergency use approval
for Bharat biotech’s covid- 19 vaccine ‘coaxing’
may take time as its phase 3 trials are still
underway, while Pfizer is yet to make a
presentation. Going by this, the oxford vaccine
‘COVISHIELD’ is likely to be the first to be
rolled out in India. The only solution to the hope
is to get out of our fear, we have to take good care
of protection, for example, face masks proper
sanitization of whatever we brought or wherever
we go, we can only hope for the vaccine to come
up soon. WHO has said that now we have to get
used to living with ‘coronavirus’ because it will
take time for every single thing to go back to
normal.
