The global pandemic has made its home on this planet and it is here to stay. It would be unwise to think that the virus will be eradicated soon and we can all get back to normal. Globally, as on 28th July 2020, there have been 16,341,920 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 650,805 deaths, reported to WHO out of which 1,483,156 confirmed cases are from India alone. What we can derive from these statistics is that we should be ready to embrace the new normal as it is.
While COVID-19 has targeted most of the people with low immunity, it is necessary to keep them healthy and safe despite the other ailments that prevail during this season. Also, the ailments that have been inherited or other lifestyle diseases cannot be ignored as well.

If you ask us when the COVID-19 will end, here’s what we can say. According to historians, pandemics typically have two types of endings: the medical; which occurs when the incidence and death rates plummet; and the social, when the epidemic of fear about the disease wanes. In other words, an end can occur not because a disease has been vanquished but because people grow tired of the panic mode and learn to live with a disease. That’s adapting to the “New Normal” and we should soon accept to live with it rather than disturbing our mental health.
