Abstract
Abstract This New Year’s wake-up call warned us of Democles’ sword in the form of COVID-19, an epidemic turned pandemic. Seeming to reach a novel and awful landmark every day, governments across globe are fighting on toes to contain its spread. The pandemic is accelerating and information is being updated and changing by the hour. Till date shattering causalities across globe have been reported to World Health Organization. Nevertheless, the world is responding to this novel enemy with urgency and purpose. The challenge is great, but the response has been massive. Record characterisation and multiple sequences of this novel pathogen are being shared on global platform leading to a lot of diagnostics to get developed. Currently no treatment is effective against COVID-19 and there is a desperate need for international solidarity for valuable therapeutics. Present article briefs some milestones achieved by the killer virus thereby posing a challenge to medical science.
期刊介绍：
Epidemiologic Methods (EM) seeks contributions comparable to those of the leading epidemiologic journals, but also invites papers that may be more technical or of greater length than what has traditionally been allowed by journals in epidemiology. Applications and examples with real data to illustrate methodology are strongly encouraged but not required. Topics. genetic epidemiology, infectious disease, pharmaco-epidemiology, ecologic studies, environmental exposures, screening, surveillance, social networks, comparative effectiveness, statistical modeling, causal inference, measurement error, study design, meta-analysis
