Well, today i am writing an article not on online earning or passive income, i will be writing an article on Covid-19 or the famous known deadly coronoavirus. This is the worst pandemic, which has hit the world in the last 100 years. Due to this pandemic, more than 80% of the globe is under lockdown.
Not sure how many covid waves we will have to face.
People cannot move freely, schools are shut, malls are shut, offices are shut, business have come down and the entire economy has come to a standstill. There are some studies going on the treatment and vaccine but i think, it might take some more years to get a permanent cure.
Because of this pandemic more than 30 million people have been infected with this deadly virus and close to 0.9 million people have died.
In US alone, more 6.7 million people have been infected and there are no ways to stop this virus. What i will disclosing will shock most of you.
Most of you will not believe but you do not have to take any medicine if you are infected with Covid-19. It can be self-treated at home and that to without taking any medicines. Why I am so confident is because I was infected with this virus couple of weeks back and in fact, some of my close friends also got infected.
And, we didn’t took any medicine, the virus was active for a week and it went away in few days, though I tried some home treatment which were effective and I will share the same in this blog.
