SCARY TIMES — It has been more than four years since the world began to emerge from the worst health crisis in a century—COVID-19. But even in 2025, the scars from that period remain vivid and raw.
The lockdowns, the mass exodus of migrant workers, overflowing hospitals, oxygen shortages, economic meltdowns, and widespread grief are still etched in public memory. According to the latest data by Worldometers, as of April 2024, over 70 lakh lives were lost globally to COVID-19, with a staggering 704,753,890 confirmed cases reported.
While most of the world had moved on to ‘living with the virus’, a sudden resurgence of cases in 2025 has triggered fresh anxiety.
