The outbreak of coronavirus has been a bane on the side of progress in the world. Starting from the east to the west there are numerous countries that have undergone the suffocating clasp of Covid-19. 

This has resulted in death tolls numbering in the millions. However, the experts originally believed that the vaccine for the virus could be manufactured within eighteen months since the outbreak took place in Wuhan of China. 

But, it is now that we understand that humanity might be facing something worse.

In a recent report published in this daily the health chief projected that the coronavirus is not going away anytime soon from Bangladesh, rather it can take years to get fully eradicated from the country. 


The people of the country can breathe a sigh of 

relief after thinking that the continuous economic 

and financial problems that are being caused by 

this virus can come to a stop after a few months


This is something that many experts had previously predicted with the number of infected being on the rise and the lack of solid counter measures needed to fight it.  

According to the Director General for Health the infection rate may come down at one point of time in the next two or three months, but the virus is likely to exist for next two to three years or more. 

In all this there is a silver lining that is the rate of infection may come down in the coming two to three months. We hope that this prediction might come true. 

This means that the people of the country can breathe a sigh of relief after thinking that the continuous economic and financial problems that are being caused by this virus can come to a stop after a few months.

Above all else, the authorities concerned should come together and devise a plan so that the infection rate and spread can be brought down and no more fatalities occur in the coming days.
