Now it's indeed a bad time from the perspective of health. The COVID-19 pandemic is on-going. It is caused by the newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-nCOV2) [1,2]. Somewhere the disease is under control, and in other places, it is yet to be under control. Several Nations were under lockdown in recent past, and the life process is gradually wishing to get normalized under cover of social distancing, sanitization and mask [3]. For all practical purpose, there is no medicine or a vaccine that is widely accepted for prevention or cure of COVID 19 illness although plenty of such items are proposed if not in the final phase of trial or just approved in some Nation but under criticism of others.
