“Stay at home and save lives”

The global community has realised that “flattening the curve” – or the initial “spike” – of patients initially infected with Covid-19 is the only way to ensure this virus, which progresses to a serious level in a significant proportion of patients, won’t overwhelm healthcare systems.

While the US was initially a little slow to react, like other countries, they have stepped up their acknowledgment of the real threat posed by the novel coronavirus.

Stay at home. Avoid any unnecessary contact with other people, particularly those from outside your household.

Stopping the spread of Covid-19 is a challenge the global community must meet.

Italian doctors last week issued a stark warning over what can otherwise happen.
