As we are at uncertain times fighting against an unseen enemy (Zoonotic Virus),
it is wise to stay away from it and strengthen your immune system. I am confident that human team (with the help from almighty above) will work together to eradicate this threat, for sure.
Common People and vulnerable people have to stay safe and follow the cleaning protocols that are advised by experts.
These coming weeks are really critical every where in the World to avert large number of deaths. As we confine, the scientific team, medical team will find out a solution for this pandemic - article in FDA.
Biological process take some time to get data and that is why we have to wait, watch and experience this hell.
Already data must have been collected from the patients and studied extensively.
Meanwhile virologists already must have analyzed every part of the virus particularly the spike proteins and mode of attachment to the cells. All data will be analyzed with current level of computing, target based drugs, old drugs, data from previous versions of virus, current data of novel virus and its stability and we should as one united human race be confident that a solution will be soon available. I am constantly talking and encouraging my friends who are in medical, pharmaceutical and scientific field to work hard and find a solution soon, They are putting more than 100% in getting this done pretty soon.
Until then, we have to take severe precautions as common humans.
Again this has shown us how human life is fragile, how we can survive living sustainably and what we should follow in the future as humans. Humans who handle and mingle with the Zoonotic virus animals should be very careful in the future and those markets should be avoided at any cost. Just think what have you caused all over the World. Poor people are affected so much not because of their own fault. Loved ones are gone. Life has turned upside down for so many people. As humans we thought we were in top of the food chain and this micro Zoonotic virus showed us how fragile we are and just put us clearly down the pyramid. Pathogens can escape easily from any isolated places. Wet markets and BioSafetyLevel labs especially level 4 should not be in close proximity - An article written few years ago to read - in Nature. Virus Pathogens don't have any borders or restrictions and they are waiting for favorable conditions to pry upon the victims in this travel extensive era. One small mishap has already caused more than 50000 deaths already as of beginning of April 2020. It is really sad. Pollution, Global transport of Pollutants through air, deforestation, species extinction and climate change does not help either in controlling the pathogens. These conditions make it more favorable for the virus to spread fast especially against already weak, fragile immunosuppressed humans. These pathogens are becoming more and more novel and resistant to treatments which makes even harder.
A humble request from a fellow Scientist to Scientists (wherever you are) out there to be very cautious with your research and make your research useful for all Earth Inhabitants instead of being destructive. History has matured even the greatest scientist to feel and Quote:
"Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value". Please follow this wisdom.
To young scientists out there, you will make enough money to survive for sure after all, you sacrificed and worked hard to become a scientist, so never fall for greed. please focus your research, whatever it be may, to benefit our great planet and its inhabitants. You may face lots of hurdles, but follow the ethics in research, you will be valued for what value you put in and be appreciated for what you did for the welfare of humankind and other co-inhabitants of our beautiful EARTH - A ( my journey as a scientist ) path to satisfaction.
Various treatment options are being explored and I am sure we human race will find out the solution, but we have already paid a big price for that. It also wise to be ready to prevent these emerging infectious diseases. Extreme caution should be taken when new projects are implemented, instead of exploring wildly and facing adverse extremities without any time. Humans were caught off-guard by this pandemic despite of warning from few experts.
Praying for every human in the World right now. Stay home for the safety and pray for everyone who must work in front line during this very sad period of our time in this Earth. Also pray that everyone in the World - our fellow humans should get meals to eat and the basic necessities to survive.
Our Projects:
Whatever faith, God or Nature you follow, please Pray to save our human race against this microscopic Zoonotic Virus, that is trying to eradicate our race.
