Dear Editor in Chief,
With great interest we have read the recent article entitled “Brain Awareness Week, CoVID-19 infection and Neurological Sciences” which was published in your valuable journal [1]. We want to congratulate the author for this successful article and have one suggestion for designating a special issue to study the brain mechanism of occupational sacrificing of frontline healthcare professionals who died in the fight of COVID-19.
From the early days of the spread of COVID-19 in China, the unique role of healthcare professionals in controlling this disease has been identified [2, 3]. These people need different facilities and equipment to fight the disease and help patients, and if the equipment is not regular enough, it will be difficult to get to the frontline of the fight against this virus [4]. The lack of equipment in some countries such as Iran, Italy, Spain, and even the USA has made physicians and nurses in difficult working conditions [5–7]. These conditions, along with the high number of patients referring to medical centers, have caused many physical and psychological problems for the medical staff [8–10].
During the COVID-19 crisis, bad news has been heard about the death of healthcare workers. More than 100 physicians and nurses died during the treatment of their patients. Why do not they quit their jobs despite the lack of facilities [7] and the certainty that they will become infected or die?
Past studies have suggested the role of self-sacrifice in this regard [11, 12]. We believe that in healthcare professionals, this factor can be considered a reason for not leaving the duty not only despite the insufficient personal protective equipment but also death in the way of treatment of patients. Self-sacrificing or altruistic behavior has been introduced as part of the “stewardship theory.” To date, most studies in this area have focused on the stewardship behavior of managers [13]. Opposite of this view has been seen in a recent article and also in news during COVID-19 [14, 15]. The death of the “frontline healthcare professionals” during COVID-19 needed more studies to develop the new type of “self-sacrifices” theories in crisis management.
Designating a special part of researches to studying the brain mechanism of these healthcare professionals which they sacrifice themselves can be a minor substitute to their effort in the frontline fighting COVID-19.

Dear editor
Article by Gopalan and Misra (1) is very informative and covers the current challenges arising due to COVID-19. Further, authors has attempted to explore the various socio-economic and medical aspects affected during this COVID-19 pandemic. It starts with the economic issues, social impacts, cultural influences, and the health related national programs which are regularly getting impacted owing to the ongoing epidemic. The paper throws light on how the pandemic has strongly affected the jobs, businesses, transportation, travel, and other sectors which ultimately influence the social-economic balance of the society. This has further led to the decrease in the GDP of the country. The daily wagers and the local business personnel are the most affected ones during this period [1].
The loss of social relationships and emotional attachments have also evolved as a vital social impacts due to this COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdown and the social distancing factors have secluded individuals. This has also led to the psychological issues among the human beings. The lack of traveling arrangements has also been observed as the poor migrant workers had to walk thousands of kilometers. Introduction of internet connected devices in the medical field during this COVID-19 pandemic has helped to disseminate proper information [2]. Various clinical considerations for patients with diabetes during the COVID-19 epidemic have also been discussed [3].
The persons with the diseases and the earlier illness are also getting impacted under this lockdown and pandemic terms due to lack of proper interaction with the physicians. The cases of diabetes, hypertensions, etc. are some of the fewwho have been affected during this time. The bad impacts of this lockdown has also been seen in terms of the increased body weight due to the unbalanced life style, over eating, no outdoor activities, over sleep, etc. which have further deteriorated the health conditions. The daily exercise and the walking habits of the individuals have also got affected. As reported around 19% have gained weight and around 42% of the persons are not performing their routine exercises [1]. In related researches, some more latest and digital technologies have also been employed for confronting this pandemic [[4], [5], [6], [7]].
With the growing concepts in science, and technology domain, we can expect to get relief soon in this tougher time of COVID-19. While research is needed to arrive at a proper vaccine, more research is needed to address the related sectors affected badly by the pandemic.
