Never let a crisis go to waste.
The corollary - every silver lining has a cloud.
The presence of COVID-19 Wuhan virus has indeed caused great strides in the medical and pharmaceutical fields, but at enormous cost to the economic, moral and ethical standards of the world. The sum total of all wealth in the world has decreased, the resurgence of command-and-control regimes at the expense of representative republics, and the vast expansion of untruths, lies and outright fabrications are all among the absolutely inappropriate human responses to the presence of this plague. Never a really dangerous disease in its own right, COVID-19 Wuhan virus patients have a surprisingly good recovery rate, well over 99% in most age groups and in most conditions, whether the draconian measures were applied or not.
