CORONAVIRUS

Coronavirus or COVID-19 is something you must have heard about a lot more than you have heard your own name in the past few days. Probably the more you read about it the more you know how dangerous it is and the scary part is that there is no cure yet. The whole world is fighting against this virus and the most developed countries which great healthcare system failed in doing so. USA for instance has the highest number of cases and deaths outside of China because of ignoring the disease and not coming with a plan to keep it under control and by the time they realised it was already too late. It is for the first time in history that the whole world is under lockdown as the only solution to stay safe is social distancing. The WHO has launched a global trial to quickly assess the most promising treatments for the virus and the disease it causes. The organisation is currently looking at four drugs or drug combinations that were developed for other illnesses and are already approved for human use and could be made widely available.

But on the other hand  The coronavirus pandemic is having some positive side effects on the environment .The water looks clearer in the world-famous canals in Venice, Italy and NASA images show how pollution is dropping rapidly in cities across the globe.The water looks clearer in the world-famous canals in Venice, Italy and NASA images show how pollution is dropping rapidly in cities across the globe. In India along the coast of the eastern state of Odisha, over 475,000 endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles have come ashore to dig their nests and lay eggs – all sixty million of them. It feels like the nature is resuming its life.

It is correctly said that everything has two sides and it applies to this virus also. But we can’t ignore the fact this has taken a lot of lives and we need to take it seriously and also appreciate the doctors and the people who are working for us 24\7. The only job we have is to Stay Indoors and Stay Hygienic
