Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is the most dreadful among all types of corona viruses so far, whose first wave is currently invading the world, and countries are struggling to fight for a low morbidity and mortality, aiming to reduce the overall tension on their health-care as well their nationals. Nevertheless, the control of the epidemic, with regard to less mortality and morbidity as found in some Asian countries, including China, South Korea and others has been perhaps accomplished by certain important factors including immediate response to the calamity under instructions of WHO as well as its directions to the international community via strict social distancing, quarantines and global lock downs. In this communication, a literature based analysis has been made using the Internet, Pub Med and other data bases to explore the status of the pandemic between January and June 2020 in order to have an idea of the steps various countries have taken for combating the corona virus disease. It has been observed that the principle of over-reaction all over the world was preferred, than under reacting, showing positive results. The summary is, we have to be prepared for such catastrophic events at all times and for a huge population, its necessary for their respective governments to allocate funds for such crisis management without the stigma of corruption, dishonesty, procrastination and irresponsibility. One thing is clear, we have to save ourselves, no matter the tall claims, as in case of health care in any developing country, it's always the out of pocket expenditure which comes first, for any health related emergency.
