World health-check halfway through 2020 A quick glance at the current situation in the world gives a rather grim picture of the global civilization.
The coronavirus is still claiming lives, young and old, and wreaking havoc on the finances of companies and whole economies. Known cases have reached eight million worldwide killing over 433,000 people as the pandemic is now moving deeper into developing countries such as India and Brazil. This not to mention the mental toll on the very young and old who were left in a somewhat ambiguous situation with a lot of questions still unanswered about their future. The educational sector in most counties lies in tatters. The United States has once more been rocked by protests stemming from racial violence while still trying to get a grip on the coronavirus, as the nation with the highest number of infections. The protests that started in Minneapolis calling out racially-motivated police brutality have quickly spread to other cities from Bristol to Berlin, and from Sydney to Stockholm. Meanwhile, diplomatic tension between the United States and China is reaching worrying levels. In Europe, governments such as those in Bulgaria, Denmark and Hungary, are adopting an ever more nationalistic tone when it comes to protecting their borders and economy. Others, like Belgium, Italy and Luxembourg take it to the other extreme putting the economy first and issuing mixed messages that made a murky situation even murkier. 27
