To buttress the government’s efforts to keep people at home to ensure social or physical distancing, various TV channels have entered the retro-race, replaying popular serials of yore. Doordarshan is a clear winner in the race with its acclaimed armoury of all-time hits such as Ramayan, Mahabharat, Uttara Ramayan, Hanuman, Hum Log, Buniyad, Chanakya, Shaktiman, Byomkesh Bakshi and Shrimaan Shrimati.
The biggest hit is Ramayan. Its popularity can be gauged not only by its record reruns and idolisation of lead actors but also by the fact that on popular demand, the sequel Uttara Ramayan followed. Ramayana is, no doubt, about Ram and his consort, Sita. But among all its other characters, Hanuman is by far the most beloved of the people because it is easy to identify oneself with him as a staunch devotee of Ram.
In any case, Hanuman plays a pivotal role in the Ramayana. As depicted in the serial, we see him first in the role of a facilitator of a meeting between the Ram in search of Sita and a revengeful Sugriva. He assumes "higher responsibilities" only when he is reminded of his prowess by Jambvana (the bear sage). Thereafter he literally takes off, displaying intelligence and ready wit, apart from physical and supernatural abilities. His exploits, as we know them, include establishing contact with Vibhishana, meeting Sita, devastating Ashok Vatika in order to attract attention, outwitting Ravana and burning down Lanka.
One of his endearing qualities on display is being ever ready to help, even without being asked. Thus he offers to take Sita away from Lanka on his own, he fetches the vaidya (physician) Sushen for Lakshamana’s treatment; brings sanjivini booti (immortality medicine) from the Himalayas; carries Lakshamana on his shoulders to combat Meghanada, offers to take Ram, Sita and Lakshamana on his shoulders from Lanka to Ayodhya, and goes in advance to break the news of Ram’s arrival to Bharata, among others.
It is unfortunate, though, that guided missiles are being aimed at some of these corona warriors by some "masked", misguided and ill-informed elements of society. A few of these corona warriors have risked their lives in service of those very persons who had attacked them. Again, in some cities, the newspaper delivery warriors are not being allowed to engage in the battle.
Hanuman, when asked to bring sanjivani booti from the Himalayas, pulled out an entire mountain range in order not to miss the herb. In the same spirit, in addition to the swelling army of Hanumans, the "Hanuman approach to problem solving" has come into play. The decennial census style door-to-door survey, backed by medical check-up of suspected cases, has recently been launched in some States. To stall community transmission, community testing, rather than random sampling, has to become the order of the day. Green shoots are emerging, expecting a good harvest.

Answer:
The 2019–2020 coronavirus pandemic is upending life on a global level as we know it. The highly infectious coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It was first seen in Wuhan, Hubei, China where its outbreak was first identified in December 2019. After almost 3 months, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization recognized it as a pandemic considering its significant ongoing spread in multiple countries across the world.
As of April 11, 2020, approximately 1,741,621 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in over 210 countries and territories resulting in around 106,670 deaths. Clearly, the corona virus outbreak situation cannot be taken lightly. Global pandemic of COVID 19, its ophthalmic implications, and precautions are nicely summarized in recently published editorial.[1]
While on one hand people across India and around the globe are largely confined to their homes with businesses and educational institutions all shut down in an attempt to contain the virus, and on the other hand doctors, health-care workers, and medical staff members are leading the battle against COVID-19 from the front. Putting their own lives at risk with selfless determination for the sake of saving lives, they truly are our heroes in these challenging times. While they are putting their own health, families, and most importantly their own lives at risk, the least we can do is appreciate their efforts and cooperate by staying safe indoors. That being said, it is good to see tributes pouring in for all the medical heroes working in scrubs. On occasion of the Doctors' Day (March 30, 2020 USA and Australia), the stories of the medical heroes are inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time.
Needless to say, doctors, nurses and people working in health-care sectors are particularly vulnerable to the highly infectious disease. In response to the global pandemic, the under-resourced doctors are facing unprecedented challenges. The list of the sleep-deprived heroes includes doctors, nurses, medical cleaners, pathologists, paramedics, ambulance drivers, and health-care administrators. In the fight against coronavirus, the brave medical army stands strong with thermometers, stethoscopes, and ventilators as their weapons. Not to forget, medical researchers are working day in and night out against all odds, hoping to find the antidote to the disease.
Since the coronavirus outbreak, health-care professionals have not only experienced the gratification of healing patients and saving their lives but have also lost many battles along the way. On top of that, many doctors have even sacrificed their own lives in the line of duty.
Every day, the selfless warriors are giving it their all in health-care settings while cutting themselves off from their families and loved ones. The sacrifice that they are making for the safety and welfare of humanity is priceless and deserves lifelong gratitude on our end. Most importantly, we must reassess the value health-care workers hold in our lives and the kind of treatment they get from us. Among the several lessons this coronavirus pandemic has been teaching us, the biggest one is to find ways to sufficiently invest in the better and more efficient medical fraternity and give medical professionals the respect, compensation and infrastructure that they truly deserve once this crisis is over. Moreover, the world needs to work towards advancement in medical research and technology. Nothing will be a greater tribute to the health-care workers than this.
That being said, we'd now like to highlight the heroic efforts of some courageous and inspiring doctors from across the globe who lost their lives while saving the lives of COVID-19 patients.
