'The country and the world are facing a serious illness. But, it is treatable. It is fixable. Let's do this together.' We're only part way through this, DrSanjayGupta writes. If we stop now, it may not just be back to square one. We may be worse off.
And if the country, like the human body, were to get sick or infected, it should seek the best medical guidance and follow it, as hard as that might be.Black light experiment shows how quickly a virus like Covid-19 can spread at a restaurantAround the world, there are more than 4.6 million people confirmed to have been infected with the novel coronavirus. Roughly a third of them are in this country alone.
Every now and then, the patient is so sick that there is no hope of recovery. Those, of course, are the toughest conversations of all. But that is not the case here. The conversation we are now having is a challenging one, no doubt. But I am also quite confident that not only can we restore the patient to good health; we may even make the patient stronger than before. More prepared, and ready to deal with this infection in the future. Both doctor and patient have to be willing participants here.
I often spend a lot of time with patients showing them the studies that provide some proof the treatment I advocate can work. Patients want that, and they deserve that. I even keep lists of patients who have already recovered and thrived, and I introduce my new patients to them. The same is true here. There is proof the treatment being proposed for the country can work, and we should consistently remind each other of that.
