There are lots of confusion and controversy about the origin and transmission of coronavirus. Either men-made or biological whatever it is, COVID-19 pandemic is a disaster no doubt about that.
Global cases are now more than 16 million and died nearly 650,000 worldwide from COVID-19. USA has nearly 4.3 million cases, Brazil tops 2.3 million and India has more than 1.3 million cases. Russia has more than 800,000 COVID-19 cases and South Africa tops 400,000 cases. USA, Latin America and South Asia are still hot spots, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
As it’s emerging disease then mitigation was not in mind. The world failed totally in preparedness and response was also divided and not satisfactory to control the spread. We can still chance to show better response and recovery to fight against COVI-19.

It is a global biohazard; quite a lot can be learned from emergency and disaster management to contain 'the virus', which is a stress test for every health care system (you know: 'to flatten the curve is decisive').
Thanks for sharing sir Hermann Gruenwald and we were not well prepared actually.
Thanks for sharing sir Stephen I. Ternyik and we have still chance to response well to manage the crisis.
If we just follow the basic rules then we can minimize our loss but unluckily, we were not that serious in the initial stage and now it's beyond control.
Respected Scientists, I'm studying doctoral in Infection and Immunity in China. I'm here since the start of the epidemic to till now. One thing I noted here was the response from the public here. Everyone seemed to strictly following the SOPs on individual level. While we are all doing our utmost to seek help from the magic medicine or vaccine to win the battle against this challenging pandemic, the fact that the accomplishment of COVID-19-centered scientific research could not catch up the speed of virus transmission. We still need to rely on the non-pharmaceutical, the traditional social countermeasures and strict quarantine to stop the transmission by coordinating worldwide to avoid the next tragedy.
