With a possible drug or vaccine at least 12 months away, the novel coronavirus is spreading infection (as well as panic) all over the world. With public figures like Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau and Daniele Rugani testing positive for COVID-19, people are avoiding crowded areas, handshakes, and opting for social distancing, namaste greetings, and work-from-home.
At the same time, many people are sharing various home-remedies that allegedly keep the disease at bay. Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan recently recited a poem about the same in his mother tongue Awadhi, reports The Indian Express.
According to Hindustan Times, the verse is written by the superstar himself and roughly translates to,
People are suggesting so many cures and treatments, who should we listen to?
One suggests we should grind kalonji, while another suggests amla juice.
Some say stay at home and don’t move a muscle, others say don’t do any of these,
Just do not touch anybody without washing hands with soap.
I say, okay, I will do all that everyone says. Let’s see what Coronavirus can do then.

While we’re battling this global pandemic, it is important to arm ourselves with accurate information, basic precautions and real-life stories of patients who have recovered through rest, medication and home quarantine.
Stay alert and stay safe!
