“Stop Coronavirus, Save Humans” ― Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.










The world is at the crossroads because of Coronavirus. COVID-19 is growing exponentially with 512,701 confirmed cases, 23,495 confirmed deaths across 202 countries, areas or territories globally. There are several myths about it. Rumors are spread on social media. The local leaders and governments talk many things with mediocre knowledge without any scientific evidence and research findings. The best thing is to visit the website of World Health Organization (WHO) to get the authentic and updated information and the things to do and not to do URL: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public

Although research is happening at breakneck speed it appears that there are no drugs that can kill the virus or vaccines that can protect against it soon. It is a big challenge for humans. The best way is to prevent it through social distancing. Here are some suggestions to counter it.
  1. Wash your hands frequently.
  2. Keep space between yourself and others.
  3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  4. Take adequate rest during work or between the shifts.
  5. Eat sufficient and healthy food.
  6. Engage in physical activities.
  7. Exercise at home.
  8. Follow the govt rules and adhere to rules.
  9. Be positive.

Help the needy. Donate as much as you can. If you don’t have money, become a volunteer and participate in nonprofits to make a difference. In my case, I share knowledge regularly on my blog Vision 2030: One Million Global Leaders URL: https://professormsraovision2030.blogspot.com. Everyone must contribute at this hour of crisis. 

Media must play a responsible role to educate and enlighten people without resorting to hype. It must create hope, not hype on COVID-19.

Current scenario is like World War III. All humans must stand united to fight. If we take appropriate precautions we will survive as humanity otherwise the precious human lives will be lost and the global economy will hit adversely. It is time for us to rise to the occasion cutting across our ideologies and differences. Let us stand united to fight against this invisible enemy to save humans. God bless the world!
