Corona virus halted global wars and bloodshed

Somehow miraculously, mass killings by the blood-letting extremists across the world suddenly went mute during the Corona virus pandemic. It was as if the terrorists and murderers had gone on leave, their killings and bloodshed suddenly stopped, perhaps put on hold or halted by COVID-19. Gruesome images of children, women and men dismembered by bombs, suicide attacks or military? strikes from Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan or Somalia suddenly reduced, instead those bloody images were taken over by cases of corona virus which was then the biggest news in the world. As much as the whole world was worried of COVID-19, and they had a reason to get worried looking at its deadly symptoms, those poor people whose blood the terrorists had been spilling for years somehow got a reprieve. If I were to chose between Corona and the blood-letting vagabonds - as crazy as it might sound I would happily choose Corona! For the simple reason of their after-effects. Al-Kabaab bombs kills dozens at once, but somehow this deadly virus kills much less number of people at a go. Corona wouldnt have come at a better time for us, talk of a blessing in disguise for Somalis. Now that the Corona has gone, the killings have started in earnest! And they have resumed in full glare. Even countries are at each others throat - Look at Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Palestine. I dont miss Corona virus, but if it comes to choosing suicide bombs and the virus - I would happily settle with the Corona! - Because atleast it gives me a fighting chance!
