New delhi date. Monday, January 25, 2021

Countries around the world have been battling the Corona epidemic for the past year. Corona forced a lockdown on most countries. Due to the lockdown, the economies of many countries have completely collapsed. However, once again the world economy is on track. All in all, the human rights group Oxfam said in a report that the Corona crisis is increasing world equality.

The report says that the corona virus has made the world's richest people richer while billions of people have fallen into poverty. Which will take years to get out of the gutter.

The report, titled 'Inequality Virus', states that the Corona epidemic came together in all countries of the world. In just 9 months, he has repaired the losses of 1000 richest people in the world during Corona. So it may take more than a decade for the world's poor to improve.

Oxfam's report also found disparities in the effects of the virus. Mortality rates of sexual minorities are higher within some countries. A total of 32 global companies have earned pum bumpers during the epidemic. If they are temporarily taxed, they could get 104 billion.
