(Johannesburg Comprehensive Electric) UN Secretary -General Gutres pointed out that the crown disease epidemic exposes the fragile skeleton of society and may cause 100 million people to fall into extreme poverty.But at the same time, this crisis also provides opportunities for the establishment of a more equal and sustainable world.

Gutres said on Saton Middot on Saturday; Mandela International Day made an annual speech that crown diseases have exposed the risks that have been ignored in the world for decades, including weak public health systems, lack of social security, structural inequality in structural inequality, Environmental deterioration and climate crisis.He said: We were knocked down by a small virus.This disease has confirmed the vulnerability of the world.

He pointed out that some areas made in terms of eliminating poverty and narrowing unfair phenomena, because of this epidemic, it has gone back several years in just a few months.

A total of more than 14 million people in the world have been infected with crown disease and 600,000 people have died.Gutres pointed out that the economic recession caused by the epidemic was particularly impact on informal workers, small enterprises and women.

He warned that we faced the worst global recession since World War II.There may be 100 million people falling into poverty, and we may see an unprecedented serious famine.

Gutres said that more than 70 % of the world's population lives in an environment where income and wealth are increasingly inequality. The wealth of the richest people in the world is equivalent to half of the world's population.

In addition to the gap between income and wealth, people are also increasingly dissatisfied with other inequality and discrimination in society.After the improper law enforcement of the American police in May this year, after the death of the black man Freud, the world set off a anti -racism movement. This is another sign of people who have suffered from structural racism and institutional incompleteness.

The popularity of crown diseases allows us to recognize unfortunately from our own interests and common interests, and to recognize the huge gap between the governance structure and the moral framework.
