The beginning was quite scary, when a Chinese doctor who reported its presence and was compelled to state otherwise found himself breathing his last in the ICU.
Soon the world witnessed an open dance of death at every nook and corner. Even the countries which we took as super powers, were helplessly cremating their dead.
A fervent search for an elusive antidote began. And simultaneously, public behavior was remolded to stop the spread of the ' not so invisible anymore enemy' , Covid-19, a new name given to the old corona virus, armed with a new protein cover, an adaptation to trouble the humanity.
In the course of treatment, many people lost their lives still many people came out completely recovered from the hospital. This is the current scenario around the world. Those, countries who have managed themselves with all the precautions dictated by WHO are doing better than those who took the advice lightly and did things in their own way or even in accordance to their vested interests.
The situation in India is the worst. Countless people are dying, there is shortage of wood and facilities to cremate. People are simply subjecting the dead-bodies to River Ganga, polluting it further. In most of the cases people have no money because they have lost their jobs or businesses due to Demonetization.
The Silver Lining: The same family of virus causes common cold and lungs related complications. Science has not found any remedy for cold and other related diseases. Only symptomatic treatment has been given. In normal cases common cold takes about a week's time to heal. Now its stronger counterpart Covid-19 has come. So what should we do? I hope you all have understood, we must take symptomatic treatment, with all the precautions taught by WHO, and leave the rest on our own immune system to do the rest.
REMEMBER: Precaution is better than cure.
