The notorious coronavirus epidemic will end sooner or later, like other epidemics and serious crises that have swept mankind, leaving many losses and victims. History is full of painful stories and catastrophic events that destroyed cities and lost lives, but now they are just tales and memories, while others are deemed lessons.

It is too early to choose the position this despicable pandemic deserves among the list of "Worst events in history", but it will inevitably be among the top ranks.

This dangerous pandemic that will be mentioned history books and human memory must ring a alarm on many of our thoughts, cultures, behaviors, customs and traditions that have had to be changed or reformulated again to suit the post-coronavirus epidemic stage, and to be consistent with the nature and conditions of the new reality that It will take shape in the world after the eradication of this serious pandemic. 

Here, I will put in a hurry and directly, some of the changes and developments that have had to affect those ideas, cultures and customs in harmony with the reality after the coronavirus epidemic, on all levels: global, national, societal and personal.

At the global level, it seems that the time has come to spread peace, tolerance, solidarity, harmony and cooperation among all the peoples of the world that inhabit this planet full with events, disasters, epidemics and crises.

It is time for all countries, peoples and societies of the world to realize that their differences, confrontations and conflicts will be a burden on them and the entire world, and that wisdom requires that the world live in peace, security and prosperity, that the priorities and common challenges of all human beings are rearranged.

The time has come now that laws and agreements are enacted between all countries of the world to organize and unite efforts against everything that would cause the destruction of the plant, marine and animal environment, as well as humanity, because they - those environments - are a source of food, safety and continuity of life in all the world. 

Also, it is necessary to advise, but to put pressure on many countries that live in chaos and moral, behavioral and social lawlessness, as well as countries that allow their citizens to eat insects, worms, bats and harmful animals, which may cause the emergence of some serious diseases and epidemics such as coronavirus and many others.

It has also become necessary to stop that mad frenzy of making deadly, nuclear and destructive weapons that make this already inflamed planet on a permanent date for death parties.
