While jury is still out about lethality of Delta Plus variant in comparison to Delta variant, as more research is required, history has clearly taught us that pandemic comes on waves. This is the most important lesson if we study history of pandemics. So will current pandemic will rest at two major waves and many mini waves? The simple answer is no as majority of world population is yet to acquire shield against it in the form of natural or vaccine induced antibodies. Preparation needs to be war foot to vaccinate the world population especially children who have just started receiving vaccines, at least those above age 12, in US and Europe. India has paid the price for prematurely declaring victory against Covid in the form of a second major wave and she is still counting her dead. I don't see major medical infrastructure being added or even announced to augment the pathetic medical facilities India has. A false sense victory is being exhibited across the country as curbs on travel and trade are being lifted. Delhi, the capital, has seen Covid inappropriate behaviour at worst as the government started lifting restrictions.

Friends, Romans and Countrymen, danger is still around. Move around in countryside to know how devasting the second major wave was.

Government figures of dead as a result of second wave, are monumentally underwritten. And there is no guarantee that third wave would be the last wave just because Spanish flu came in three waves.

Three is a huge scope of improvement on front of vaccines. All the vaccines we have now have given us a hope that the pandemic can be beaten but we need better vaccines that can take care of even mutated variants in order to eradicate it totally.

Remember forewarned as forearmed!
