Thanks, Madhav, we should not lose our sense of humor.

' कोरोणजनितो रोगो   भिषजासाध्य एव हि ' ।
केचिन्मन्यन्त अन्ये तु  ' गोमूत्राद्यत्र भेषजम् '॥

This is going to have a worldwide impact for quite some time, not only on health care, economy, social life, but also on the organization of our scientific events etc.

Coronavirus - "Touch me not!"

कोरोनाख्यविषाणूनां स्पर्शाद् भीतोऽस्म्यहं प्रिये ।
प्रीतिस्ते मयि चेन्मा मा स्पृश मा मां कदाचन ।।

O my dear! I am scared of the touch of the Coronavirus. If you really love me, please don't don't don't ever touch me.
