Corona virus: Why are there doubts about the data collected for testing for COD 19 disease in Pakistan? June 24 was a difficult day for the provincial capital, Lahore, according to daily statistics from Punjab, the province most affected by coronavirus deaths in Pakistan.

Corona's epidemic is nothing short of a horror film in itself, but film and drama have become an important tool in reducing the fear of the epidemic and easing difficult times.

Woman, the founder of Human Civilization The role that women played in the evolution of human civilization was neglected after the establishment of patriarchy and human history became that of men, but now that history is being rewritten and that source of history must be used. Women's social and cultural activities and their role in shaping civilization are being brought to the fore. In the early days of history, men hunted for food. Women were looking for fruits and herbs. In the process, they learned a great deal about herbs, which are edible, and which are necessary to treat diseases and wounds.

Archaeologists have also pointed out that the discovery of agriculture was made by women. He dug the ground with wood and planted seeds in them which came out in the form of plants.

The world after the coronavirus and the reorganization of fossil capitalism There are many analysts who point out that the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic is a turning point that warns of an epochal mutation and, therefore, a global reconfiguration of current systems of domination and exploitation. Although the virus did not generate the systemic crisis that we are experiencing today, it has made it evident and is probably accelerating it. Among other things, the pandemic has placed greater emphasis on the exhaustion and destructiveness of capitalism with an energy matrix based on fossil fuels. In this sense, there are several interesting meeting points between the virus and climate collapse. In a few months the virus accomplished what seemed unthinkable. Attempts to contain it forced to limit the accelerated exchange of unnecessary goods and the massive movement of human beings, measures that the World Trade Organization (WTO), the promoters of neoliberal globalization and other opponents of stat

On June 28, the number of people infected with the corona virus worldwide exceeded 10 million, after which the head of the World Health Organization said that a new and dangerous phase of the fight against the virus has now begun. The spread of the virus has been largely contained in many countries in Western Europe and Asia, but it is also spreading rapidly in many other parts of the world. It took ninety days for one million people to be infected when the corona virus began to spread, but the number increased from nine million to ten million in just eight days, which could give an idea of   the rapid spread of the virus.
