positive vibes in this worst of covid-19.there are some outcomes that could have a long-term positive impact on the planet and humanity.
pollution: According to 2016 WHO report 91% of world populace lives there where air quality isn’t good, each 9 out of 10 individuals have not fresh air accessible. 3.8 and 4.2 million individuals passing each year due to indoor and outdoor air contamination respectively. Major forms of outdoor air pollution include NOX, COX, Particular matter (PM2.5 and PM10), Ozone (O3), Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and Sulfur dioxide (SO2). Primary sources of these toxins are mechanical emanation and automobile exhaust. CO is order-less, colorless create by deficient combustion fundamental sources are burning of fossilfuel and overwhelming apparatus, SO2 create from fuel combustion. fundamental sources are engine vehicles, household warming, power generation etc.toxic for health directly affect the respiratory system, lungs, mucus secretion and chronic bronchitis.
When SO2 react with H2O cause of acid rain. NO2 order-less and highly reactive, react with air form ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM) also have main contribution in acid rain, dangerous for plants and animals due to high acidity produce from carbon based fuel. Particulate matter also dangerous for human health cause cancer because penetrate in lungs tissue. Another primary harmful poison which have critical part in our poison environment Ozone (O3) too called ground level ozone, usually shaped within the presence of sunlight respond with artificial unstable natural compounds or NOx transmitted by vehicle or industry outflow, cause serious damage for human health breathing problem, reduce lung-function, trigger asthma and lung diseases. Now, due to this lockdown the numbers of cars plying on the roads have become less, factories have shut down and hence, in the cities all over the world so the concentration of nitrogen dioxide, oxide of sulphur, oxide of carbon, ammonia, Volatile organic compounds in the air has fallen drastically.
Traffic Injuries: Road traffic injuries, which was one of the top ten causes of fatalities around the world, cause an evaluated 1.25 million deaths yearly. Maintaining non-fatal injuries extending from 20 to 50 million per year, with long-term health results. According to TomTom analysis, in Milan city of Italy, Paris, city of France, Rome, city of Italy, Madrid, city of Spain, Barcelona, city of Spain and Monaco, city of Monaco traffic movement reduce traffic 84.78%, 84.10%, 83.80%, 83.27%, 81.04% and 79.44% respectively. In Fig 8 clearly observed reduce in traffic movement. Here, in this condition when more than half of the world
population is lockdown, less traffic on the road. COVID-19 lockdown prove helpful against road traffic injuries. In this year like other graph road traffic death graph expected to fell drastically.
Education becomes digitized:
universities have been frantically attempting to turn to online education within the wake of broad lockdown, it’ll become a permanent feature of our educational framework.
Peace:
Peace helps you keep mentally and physically fit because Peace ensures that you are aware of yourself. Peace gives you strength and you stay calm when things go unexpectedly, Peace gives you the freedom to do experiments in your life. indeed Peace enlightens you The coronavirus is additionally raising trusts of less fights and less struggle, increases awareness about yourselves resulting in increased levels of peace. Hygiene: Cleanliness is an important part of Islam. Not only should a Muslim purify himself before turning to God in prayer but they must pay attention to the cleanliness of their bodies and their surroundings at all times. In the Quran, Allah says:
“…Indeed Allah loves the penitent, and He loves those who keep clean.” (2:222) At the person level, most individuals disregard to wash their hands as frequently as fundamental, maybe since of a boisterous way of life. But portion of security safeguards to keep the coronavirus at cove requires progressed cleanliness such as the reliable washing of hands. This propensity will most likely stay in people’s lives long after the widespread is over People are likely to wash their hands frequently and correctly while sanitizing surfaces may be a larger priority.
Connectedness:
One more positive result could be a revived sense of community and social cohesion. Self-isolation challenges us as social creatures who want connections, contact and interaction with other people. However, people all around the world are finding new ways to address the need for interconnectedness. In Italy, one of the worst-hit countries, people are joining their instruments and voices to create music from their balconies. People are leading street dance parties while maintaining social distancing. People are using social media platforms to connect, such as the Facebook group The Kindness Pandemic, with hundreds of daily posts. There is a huge wave of formal and informal volunteering where people use their skills and abilities to help.We all have been so active living the ‘life,’ numerous of us have misplaced those genuine, honest to goodness minutes we have with our adored ones. It may have been the active plans, running around to create closes meet, & hurrying to be in urgent gatherings. Now, the COVID-19 situation has positively impacted the way you emote and maintain relationships. You get to spend your time with your family and plan your work better. As life slowed down, we have found ways to stay connected with people.
Gratitude: COVID-19 is giving us may be a modern sense of appreciation and gratefulness. It has advertised us a modern viewpoint on everything we have taken for allowed for so long our freedoms, relaxation, associations, work, family and companions. We have never questioned how life as we know it might be abruptly taken away from us. Hopefully, when this crisis is over, we will exhibit
new levels of gratitude. This sense of gratefulness can also help us develop our resilience and overcome the crisis in the long-term.
Every coin has two faces. With bad comes the good We’re a race of survivors, and we’re going to win this too. I agree the battle is hard & long. But let’s look forward and focus on the brighter side Let us hope and pray that the current episode of COVID-19 will be over soon and life will get back to normal.
