WORLD UNITES TO DEVELOP DRUGS TO FREE EARTH CORONA'S DARK CLAWS

Getting stunned suddenly by Corona’s satanic invasion, the globe now seems to be revolving round an unheard of pivot: agonizing wait for anti-pandemic drug and vaccine.

All are hoping for a remedy to stop the specter of death that loomed so large that it shadowed the entire world. Its specter kept on darkening on every passing day. And it continued!

Grimness of the situation can be gauged from the fact that even as normalcy in worldly affairs slowed down, the coffin makers and crematorium workers turned hyper busy to handle bodies of the dead.

Strangely enough, it is this dance of death that now has united the world. Setting aside their rivalry and differences, they joined in hands to defeat the dragon that originated in China.

Death, really, is a strange equator! It is not distinguishing rich and poor, borders of nations, languages and religions. The COVID-19 is simply killing. But to kill it, the entire world now is working overtime to find a remedial drugs and vaccines.

Large Scale Clinical Trial of Drugs to Intensify from July, 2020

The Research and Development Blueprint of WHO has been activated to accelerate diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics for this novel coronavirus.

Even as trials on human body are being carried out globally on a regular basis, the late-stage large scale studies of drugs developed by several biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies including Moderna Inc, Sinovac Biotech, CureVac, GlaxoSmithKline and Oxford-AstraZeneca are set to enter late-stage trials in July, 2020.

According to the WHO, at least 13 experimental jabs were recently tested on human body and over 120 drug-varieties are in earlier stages of development. By the year end, anti-Corona experimental vaccines are likely to be floated across the world’s markets.

RECALLING - THE MAN OF GREAT VIRTUES P.A.SANGMA

As September approaches there begins a change in Delhi, morning becomes cooler, midday sun a bit friendly, humidity too pretends to be packing off and a sense of an all-pervasive thermal comfortability becomes visible outdoors. I still remember P A Sangma was born on 1st September 1947and the remembrance takes me to look back and a montages of memories come crowding in: some events are still clear while some got blurred, perhaps the inner flash is partly diffused.
