Corona virus or COVID-19 pandemic has affected the whole world,till now near about 32,48,685 people world wide are infected by this virus & it is declared as pandemic by WHO(world health organization).From children to old people,from developing country to developed country ,everywhere there is fear of COVID-19.But the fact is ,this virus is dangerous but it will not affect everyone in the same way.This is dangerous or having higher risk for those who have pre existing health problems like diabetes ,hypertension,heart diseases .It is more risky for old age people than the youngs.As it is a infectious virus,social distancing is the only way to stop spreading.social distancing may be possible for rich people,but those people who lives in slums,it is quite impossible for them to maintain social distancing there because many slum families lives in one room.If anyone in the slums got affected by this virus,it very difficult to stop spreading .Corona virus has affected people economically & financially.To stop spreading of this infectious virus ,every country has announced lock down & due to lock down ,many people are facing financial crisis.Specially the poor people, who has not enough savings for future are the worst sufferers.It is said that- corona virus or COVID -19 had came from china,though the actual source is still unknown or under research.This COVID-19 has affected most of the countries but the most affected countries are USA,Spain,Italy,France,Uk.The countries who has taken precautions,announced lock down earlier are comparatively on safer side(less affected).The countries which are worst affected by this virus or we can say the hotspots ,the people of other countries are in fear from the people of those worst affected countries or they are in phobia,means if they saw any people of those country in therir country,they are feeling fear of got infected .This phobia is known as xenophobia.As,everyone is assuming that it has came from china,in some cases it is seen that chinese people are beaten or threatened without any reason,it actually also an example of Xenophobia.Due to Inequalities & prejudices ,the affect of this virus is differnt on different people.The financial inequality -means the the division of reach & poor has created a huge difference from the sufferings from this virus.Reach people can utilize this time,enjoy this time as holiday,can spend time with family.But the poor people ,even can not feed their family,because they are unable to earn due to lock down,& they does not have savings.Specially in the developing countries,where large number of people are below poverty line, lives in slums are suffering financially.It is also not possible for them to take precaution because for everything money is needed.Though the Govt. is trying to help them by providing basic needs,still there are many family who are unable to take this advantage.So,from this it is clear that COVID-19 has not affected everone in the same manner,though everyone is suffering,but some are suffering worst.
