Abstract

It’s been a year now since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic which has wreaked havoc in the healthcare delivery system and economic devastation. There has been a race against time for the discovery of vaccine which has finally resulted in the war footing approval and usage of vaccines globally. The world salutes the healthcare professionals but we stand looking poignantly into life and salute the true hero of the pandemic “the common man” with the elated sense of social responsibility, camaraderie and survival. With the globe affected, it’s the common man who stayed home, maintained social distancing and cooperated with healthcare authorities and Governments through the difficult times. Each country is affected with distinct demographics and with varied presentations of the individual disease.
