Has The Bio World War Already Begin ?
The greatest future risk of global catastrophe is likely to be covert Bio-War or Bio-Terrorism in the form of virus and not the nuclear missiles. The current pandemic has exposed ill preparedness of world to deal with bio attacks.

The Wuhan Virus and it’s devastation across 200 nations with 3,402,034 positive cases, 239,622 deaths and 1,083,901 recovered world wide with US share of 1,131,492 positive cases and 65,776 deaths left completely helpless, with increasing number of deaths every day and apart from Russia and China similar situation is prevailing in Italy, England, France, Spain and Germany. The virus has not only massacred innocent but has spread the terror, suffering and iconic losses far from to resume normal life as before.
Not with standing the war of words between China and Russia on one side and balance of majority world on other side with global opinion demanding for investigation into suspicious role of China. The battle lines have already been drawn in South China sea where Chinese activities, if to be taken holistically than the Bio World War bugle has been sounded.
US, Russia, France, Germany, Japan, Canada, Israel, Iran and North Korea are known to have Bio facilities. The array of weapons includes anthrax, botulinum, smallpox and other such diseases that once plagued the world. It has been used earlier too during World War II when Soviets used a bacterium against German troops causing skin ulcers, severe vomiting, and diarrhoea.
Though there have been pandemics in the past like the 1918 Spanish Flu but a global catastrophe of this scale is unprecedented and specially when the majority nations suspecting it an intentional act makes this crisis a truly unparalleled one in history of War fare. Aggressive expansionist behaviour of China over last few decades, as seen in its annexation of Tibet, attack over Bharat, conflicts with countries of Southeast Asia and sovereign claim over the entire South China Sea despite losing the same in the international court of arbitration.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology believed to have discharged the Virus either by design or accidentally is part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, while it’s certain laboratories work under control of the Peoples Liberation Army. It is believed that two Chinese spies stole this particular virus from Canada and brought it to Wuhan lab leading to the pandemic Coronavirus outbreak.
The World Health Organization (WHO) too has taken a beating on its reputation and credibility who has been alleged of echoing the Chinese position and views at various time lines of virus attack particularly that the virus was not contagious.
The losses for US due to corona virus is far greater than that of Pearl Harbour attack during World War- II and China’s military activity in South China sea has forced US to deploy its strategic resources to counter balance and the B-52 Bombers under taking Elephant Walk displaying it’s alert level.
US and many European countries believes that china is responsible for thousands of death and economy devastation due to China’s lies about events in Wuhan in connivance with the WHO. US has already stalled WHO’s funding . In yet another claim last week by Trump US investigation have been completed and confirmed China involvement in spreading COVID 19.
Filing of “compensation claims” against China by number of bodies all across globe for not doing enough to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus and hiding facts to become a pandemic that has killed tens of thousands of people and caused huge economic damage is reinforcing anti China opinion. Germany too has demanded damage worth £130bn invoice following the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Germany has has joined US block supported by France and UK in cornering China for the Covid terror.
China has out rightly rejected and stated that according to the “No Jurisdiction” principle between sovereign states the court of one state do not have jurisdiction over another state, which is called “sovereign immunity”. AS per her there is no proof that the virus originated in Wuhan and is yet to be scientifically verified as also the fact that the epidemic was first reported in Wuhan, Hubei province, alone does not mean it originated in China.
The changing dynamics of wars from traditional to Hybrid to Cyber to Bio-War (COVID 19) has exposed the unpreparedness of world at large. Future Bio-War would be far more destructive than any other form of wars in the dictionary. The greatest future risk of global catastrophe is likely to be covert Bio-War or Bio-Terrorism in the form of virus and not the nuclear missiles. The current pandemic has exposed ill preparedness of world to deal with bio attacks. Therefore, suitable measures have to be instituted to deal with any such kind attacks in future.
Beijing will try evade any independent investigation while at the same time use it’s economic leverage to garner some international support . Beijing will have to open up its bio-related facilities to inspection failing which will be open invitation of disaster. China has already rejected the request by Australia to Permit fair investigation.
US and Australia deployed their Naval military resources in South China Sea . China has renamed around 80 islands comprising of islands and coral reefs. Last week China sank Vietnamese fishery vessel on high sea. The early battle indicators are to be taken as they happen than US lead block is positioning in ground of its superiority and creating world opinion in its favour , where as China Is flexing it’s muscles to take on the anti China forces.
Bharat so far has chosen to be relatively un vocal and has called for more proactive WHO. If China paddles out unpunished , being neighbour to China Bharat would be the next target.
Bharat has an opportunity to lead the global campaign to difuse the situation and call for China accepting Independent invistatigations and call the global community to abide by Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention.
