Public Health Professionals- the unsung heroes needed during an Epidemic.

Public Health Professionals- the unsung heroes needed during an Epidemic.

While a famous surgeon may remove an appendix in you to cure you from that pain, Public Health Professionals like John Snow would remove a #pump_handle from a public pump in the broad Street of Soho  to stop a cholera outbreak that had claimed  600 lives in London in 1854.

 They are expert in CONTACT TRACING and CONTAINMENT so that the virus can be locked down from spreading further. They come to our drawing room to advise us how to WASH our HAND, how to keep SOCIAL DISTANCING to flatten the curve of the disease. They don't bring any costly drugs but  only HYPO SPRAY so that our surroundings remain free from the virus.

They believe:

" Our PIN code is more IMPORTANT than our GENE code."

Only a pandemic brings out the public health professionals from the shadow of the big specialists and gives them their due.
