NSTleader The irony is this: a diseased world needs a disease to bring it together.

Sure, a few old powers are still disturbing the universe of people here and there, but they will soon be reduced to pleas for help as their hubris is soon flayed by Covid-19.

Now, Covid-19 has got their attention. The irony is this: a diseased world needs a disease to bring it together. But at least two things must be made to happen before this Humpty Dumpty of a world can be put together again. For decades, the leaders of the West, especially the US and Britain, have imposed their liberal political and market values on the rest of the world. To paraphrase John Gray, a one-time professor of European Thought at the London School of Economics, there is no place for such barbarism though it comes clothed with the charm of Western virtues.

Secondly, the world, the rich and poor, must pool our resources together to fight our common enemy on two fronts: public health and economy. UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres put it thus on March 19: “We are in an unprecedented situation and the normal rules no longer apply. We cannot resort to the usual tools in such unusual times.”
