The Coronavirus pandemic of 2020 has left us stupefied and unable to cope with the havoc wreaked upon our ostensibly modern societies.
Here in India, what were the changes that occurred in our society during the unprecedented lockdown period?
How did we cope with the sudden confinement that was impinged upon us by extraneous circumstances?
More importantly, what are the lessons we need to learn going forward from this wake-up call?
What changes do we need to bring about in ourselves, our communities, and the world as a whole, if we are to prevent the impact of any similar future catastrophe and thrive as one humanity?
I attempt to answer these questions in this video, made using all the news clippings, forwarded messages and videos, that I received and came across during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The predominant colours in the video are yellow – which indicates infectious diseases, and red – which indicates danger/emergency.
I wish to thank all writers/creators of messages and videos whose work I have used in the making of this video.
