India, the world’s second largest populated country, had gone through a stringent 70-day nationwide lockdown to halt the spread of COVID-19. But the outcome is highly disappointing as the number of patients testing positive is increasing with each passing day. In fact, India is the second worst-hit country by the pandemic with its numbers soaring past the 5.4 million mark and accounts for almost 17% of all cases in the world. The deadly virus is threatening cities and communities, endangering not only public health, but also the economy and the fabric of the Indian society casting a deep multidimensional impact that has proven to be disruptive. During the lockdown, the Indian economy’s losses amounted to over US$4.5 billion every day. It has triggered the worst economic recession in decades. As the quarantine dragged on, 121 million Indians ended up out of work with some 19 million salaried, formal economy jobs having been wiped out after the lockdown, according to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy. But the big question is when will it be safe to re-emerge? December 30th? March 2021? June? Or August ‘21? 

Here's the real answer: Never. It will never be safe for at least next two years. 

Social distancing, staying at home, and frequent hand sanitization- all of these measures were not to cure COVID-19. These were measures to slow it down, so as to not overwhelm the healthcare system.

 For the most part, we've done that. 

It does not change the virality of the disease, or how it spreads from one person to another. It has no effect on the mortality rate. It was intended to slow it down. 

But as soon as we emerge, the virus will spread again and those with weakened immune systems will still succumb to it. This is a harsh fact. 

The people who missed it this time, might get it next time. 

The temporary solution is detox yourself for next couple of years or until a suitable vaccine is found... it’s that simple.

Medical staff look after a COVID-19 patient at the Uzsoki Hospital in Budapest, Hungary on May 16, 2020. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic spread to Hungary on March 4, 2020, when the first cases in the Central European country were announced. The first coronavirus-related death was announced on March 15, on the government's official website. On March 11, the Hungarian government declared a state of emergency. Within just a few months, the coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2 had driven the whole world into such a crisis, the likes of which humanity probably hasn’t seen since World War II.

The Ark

Wuhan, a city of over 11 million people, pressed the "pause" button to contain the spread of the raging novel coronavirus after Chinese President Xi Jinping's instruction on the afternoon of January 22, which led to the suspension of all public transportation and outbound travel, along with a ban on people stepping out of their homes. It was only after 76 days of arduous efforts that the Chinese people achieved decisive results in Wuhan's defensive battle against the invisible enemy, and made great, strategic strides in the nationwide drive to prevent and control the epidemic. On March 11, the number of newly confirmed coronavirus cases in Wuhan dwindled to single digits for the first time. On April 26, Wuhan’s hospitals were free of all COVID-19 cases. As of June 15, the city had no asymptomatic cases and there were no more close contacts under medical observation. With less than 0.006% of its domestic population infected, the country has brought the virus under control, creating a miracle in the battle against one of the most infectious diseases in the history of humanity.

Together in Wuhan 

We face challenges every day, but COVID-19 has become the biggest tribulation of 2020. Doctors and nurses turned out to be the true heroes of the year. Working under difficult conditions on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic, they toil round-the-clock in hospital 'red zones'. Risking their lives, they carry on their personal daily battle with the pandemic in order to keep coronavirus patients breathing.

Doctors diagnosed Italy’s first case of COVID-19 on February 21, 2020, and the country quickly became the ‘epicenter’ of the pandemic, with almost 1,000 people dying daily in March. By October, there had been more than 35,000 deaths. In March, the Italian government imposed a national lockdown, limiting movement, prohibiting social life and keeping contacts in the hospitals to the minimum, making professional caregivers the only human contact patients had. Thousands of Italians were completely alone in their homes, or on their deathbeds. As all these restrictions were being implemented, Luigi Cavanna, who heads the oncology department at Piacenza Hospital, made the decision to tackle the COVID-19 disease during the initial phase, in the same way as a patient's cancer would be treated. He cared for more than 365 patients and only a small percentage had to be hospitalized. Dr. Cavanna is living proof for the Italian Health Corps that he has true Nobel Peace Prize potential.

NEW DELHI, INDIA - JUNE 12: Family members pay their respects to a relative who died from coronavirus before the body enters a furnace for cremation at the Nigambodh Ghat crematorium, in Delhi, India, June 12, 2020. Last rites are very important in the Hindu Religion but because of the pandemic, the last time this person’s relatives saw the face of the deceased was when he was taken to the hospital and upon his passing away they had to cremate the packed body according to government protocol.

Birthday

This is a series of photos touching on a memorial to deceased medical workers. The memorial appeared spontaneously after the first deaths of doctors from coronavirus. It was created by activists. Several times a week, they would come to hang new portraits and masks of dead doctors, and replace withered flowers.
