There have always been speculations of a day when the world will end, when we all will die. The doomsday. When the current year started, each international significant event triggered similar emotions. However, a widespread biological problem was the most convincing of all. In the last few decades, biologically there has been little progress altogether for mankind. We have started making plans for colonies on Mars and using engineering marvels to combat climate change and by large ignored the importance of biological innovation and progress. As a deadly invisible virus brings the world to a halt, we are left at the mercy of health care professionals. There is significant increase in the rate and amount on investments in the medical world. A cure for common cold seems possible. The way wars increase the rate of human progress, the ongoing war hopefully will set us on an exponential trajectory of medical progress.
We have lost enough people to cancer, tuberculosis, HIV and various viral diseases. We have failed to find a definite cure for most new era diseases. So have we traveled backwards then? Small pox vaccine, antibiotics, numerous vaccines have been invented and discovered in the past but why with the modern equipment and tools the rate of medical progress yet seems to be falling behind.
There have certainly been some great progress in terms of research and equipments however not so much when it comes to cures and vacciness.
