I’ll say them, Gladiators, against Coronavirus | COVID-19.

Yes, because…

Today, all of us are subjected to a domestic ban, in order to reduce the outbreak of the Coronavirus. But, in this cries of warning, “Stay home…Stay safe”, our White Army (Doctors, Nurses, and Healthcare Providers) is standing straight in the first line of battle against this invisible and elusive enemy. They are working with their nails, putting their health at risk, and working tirelessly amid such adverse conditions just to treat the coronavirus patients.

The situation is so bad that in some parts of the world, doctors are using adult diapers within their protective clothing, spending more than 14 hours without food and water just to avoid going to the toilets. Their suits are air-proof, thick, and rough on their bodies. They are lacking oxygen, which is making their glasses foggy, they are getting stressed, exhausted, still handling immense work in small time slots so efficiently.

This is what real-life heroes look like

The corona crisis shows how vulnerable people and their healthcare systems are. It has served healthcare providers with thousands of new challenges. But, in this war of our generation, healthcare providers are the only ones who showed solidarity and true human behavior by their heroic work in this difficult time.

I said them ‘real-life heroes’ because they are putting their double efforts, often depriving themselves of enough sleep hours to eradicate the new Corona epidemic. Some of them, are even working without adequate means of protection to do their job like masks, special suits, caps, or gloves.

Ain’t they someone we call…THE PROTECTOR?

We’d be lost without you, Thank You!

All the doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers who have been waging a relentless war against SARS-CoV-2, the deadly virus, we would like to thank you a lot for your tireless efforts. We know, you are in the first classes, standing on the line of fire but, you are the ground pole of our society who is strengthening the infection prevention and protecting our lives.

Thanks a million!
