Abstract:
COVID19 starting as an epidemic last year (2019) from
Wuhan, China got converted into a pandemic within months
with its devastating ravages throughout the world. The
pandemic and its spread with its severity affected both poor
and rich countries equally, which had a larger population.
The measures taken by China, though, were initially
challenged and even termed against the ‘human rights’ for
the complete lockdown but soon were adopted by many
countries. Suddenly, the need for ICUs and ventilators in
them jumped throughout the world 1, the value and demand
for doctors, especially the clinicians managing the
emergencies was brought to the limelight ; all types of
borders within and between the countries were closed for
any movements and above all the social media became
active with all the myths, misinformation and warnings
about COVID19.
