According to the latest list of the WHO, at least 165 vaccines for novel Coronavirus were being developed across the world. There are possibly more, but still in the early stages, and not listed by WHO. But, do we need so many Coronavirus vaccines? Wouldn’t one be enough? Here are some possible answers. Vaccines fail. Vaccine development has a very low success rate. Vaccine development is a very complex process; it consumes times and resource, and also involves risks. Most often, the chances of success are extremely low. There is no guarantee that all the vaccines will be successful in Phase III trials. As of now, merely 27 potential vaccines have been cleared for human trials and only 5 out of them have reached the last stage of clinical trials. It usually takes 10-15 years on an average to develop a safe and effective vaccine fit for human use. More the number of effective vaccines, more are the chances of containing the pandemic. More vaccines will mean more possibility to quickly contain the spread of COVID infection across the globe. Considering the world population in mind, we need more effective COVID-19 vaccines. If we need to vaccinate the whole world population (roughly 7.8 billion), and contain the spread of COVID-19, we will need more than one effective vaccine. #CoviD #COVID19 #coronavirus #covidvacccine #pandemic #CoviD #COVID19 #coronavirus #covidvacccine #pandemic

Sonu Sood has won the hearts of every Indian by helping migrant workers during the #coronavirus #pandemic. He has been named the 'real hero' of #Covid-19 in #India. The 'hero' now has another mission to accomplish. A poor family in Himachal Pradesh had to sell their cow, a substantial source of income, for just Rs 6,000 to buy a smartphone so that their two children could stay connected with online studies amid the COVID-19 #lockdown. Sonu Sood shared a clip of the story and offered to help get the cow back, and asked for contact details on #Twitter. Soon Twitter got flooded with praises for the 'hero' and several Indians joined hands to help the Himachal man get his cow back. Isn't it heart-warming?

Embrace The New Normal!! This pandemic will eventually give rise to many new normals, and we all know that. But, the vigilance against the contagion should not mean the end of hugs and handshakes totally. This is the time when we are in need of each other more than ever. Because, when all these are over, love and care will still be beautiful. #newnormal #pandemic #hope #lifelessons #newnormal #pandemic #hope #lifelessons

Here's a photo of a nurse after working for long hours during a scorching summer day at a #covid-19 center in #Guwahati, #Assam. The #coronavirus #pandemic has been tough for everyone.
