Coronavirus had proven that it, in so many ways, behaves better than many human beings, uniquely African that some hoe places much premium on giving honour and regards to elders and leaders.
With the information so far in the public domain about the victims of this dreaded virus, it had shown that it does not discriminates and honours the leaders firstly before going downwards to the lead.
In many of the over 200 countries that Coronavirus is ravaging, leaders across these countries got an early homage from it. This shows how much priority Coronavirus places on respecting the elders and leaders at different levels.

This list endless, but the names on this particular one are enough shreds of evidence to show that no matter how cruel you think Coronavirus is, it might just be more respectful than some human beings.
In the olden days, much attention was given to respect, giving of honor and paying homage when you enter a strange land. Some of these may still be seen in our world today, but at a low rate.
Taking Africa, for instance, when a leader goes to a strange land for an assignment, he does not embark on it without first paying homage to the leaders or rulers in such an environment. It is called giving honour to whom it is due.
Such leaders who are visited in these scenarios do not have to be as highly placed as the one visiting, but it must be done as a sign of respect. When this is done, such a visitor receives blessing and approval to move around and accomplish their desired or planned task.
As important as this may sound, some persons on their high horses have at different times failed to do this, for so many reasons known to them. Some times, it affects the success of their plans, and other times, it causes uproar.
Wise Coronavirus
For wise Coronavirus, it did not fail to place the required premium on paying homage to the leaders of each community to receive their blessings. As it is widely believed that no one builds a house without first counting the cost, Coronavirus counted the cost of the success of its assignment and decided to visit the leaders first.
After paying the wise price of receiving the blessings of the world leaders, the rate of its success can not be questioned. The speed at which it went around the world infecting and killing may not be far fetched form the blessings it got from the world leaders.
Infection Rate
As of today, 550, 530 cases have been confirmed across the world, with 24,903 deaths recorded so far. About 128,701 have been able to snatch their lives back form Coronavirus, but the world 7.8 billion world population stands the risk of getting this virus, except those who already survived it.
How far the blessings of the world leader help Coronavirus in its dangerous mission to wipe off human existence will only be determined by those whole survive its stings. Endeavour to be part of the number because the history book is already open.
