Dear Readers,
Its almost twelve years ago when I started this blog. My reason was clear and simple. This blog will serve as a platform of the small voices by the multitude of materially deprived people in the world. For the last nine years, I have traveled in almost 43 nations and observed the plight of many poor people in the nations I have visited.
Last February, 2020, I visited Ho Chi Minh City formerly Saigon, South Vietnam. Vietnam is currently a State Socialist nation (In layman's term: communist) Upon return to the USA, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) boarded our plane and checked. I have reasons to believe I do not have the corona virus or COVID 19. I have no symptoms. CDC cleared us.
The corona virus or COVID 19 impacted the world. The World Health Organization declared COVID 19 as a pandemic. The world wide outbreak of the corona virus will affect the lives of people.
The global community impacted by the corona virus will react differently - from concern, to panic and even hysteria.
The poor people in the world will be greatly impacted by the corona virus. We are now approaching the eight billion mark (people) worldwide. As of writing time 7.8 billion people as of March, 2020. How many are poor ? Almost 3 billion people are deprived of their basic needs. Lack of clean water, medicines and health care, poor sanitary conditions including the absence of toilets, shelter, education, and other basic necessities of life.
