HISTORY OF PANDEMICS

'The world is a global village' - this quote hasn't had a far more significant impact than now, in this uncertain time when an event that started in one part of the world has raised its tentacles and reached all the other parts of the world as well.

In the last 100 years, the outbreak of #Coronavirus is the eighth time that the WHO has declared a pandemic.

However, if you look back into history over the centuries, as the human species has evolved and developed, pandemics have always been around - some big, some small.

Here are two infographics that will take you through the history of pandemics and the death toll of each one of them.

As is evident, with more and more advancement in medical science, we have been able to control these pandemics in a better way.

However, the first step always is

#Intent and #Action. That is what makes the difference.

We can overcome this one too if our intent is right and our actions then back that intent.

You and I have to work on it together. It is no more about them, it is about us!

WORLD'S SMALLEST MCDONALD'S NOW OPEN!

So what is so special about the smallest McDonald's? This McDonald's, that has opened in Sweden will not serve humans but rather #bees! 
Yes, you read that right - Bees. It is aptly called McHive, having an outdoor seating, a pation, wooden panelling and two drive-thru windows well. 

Why? Honey bees have been dying at an alarming rate, with few species almost on the verge of extinction. Bees are an integral part of #nature, helping in pollination and thereby allowing nature to prosper across places. McDonald’s franchises across Sweden are taking initiatives to save bees from extinction by doing various activities and bringing awareness to people. Opening a McHive is a part of that initiative. 

This is an example of businesses caring about more things than topline and #profits.
