The world is experiencing unprecedented stressful times. With the coronavirus pandemic disrupting life and causing large-scale deaths around the world and no cure in sight, hope is perhaps all that has been driving humanity forward. In such compelling moments, the image of a newborn baby taking off a doctor’s mask has gone viral as a symbol of hope.
The image was posted on social media by Dr. Samer Cheaib, who practices gynecology and obstetrics in the UAE. The post on Facebook was titled “We all want to sign if we are going to remove our mask soon.”
Frontline workers like Dr. Cheaib have faced the worst of the pandemic, whether it’s constantly exposing themselves to the risk of the virus, working long hours in physically painful PPE suits, staying away from their own families, and doing their best. to fight the pandemic, despite pay cuts and lack of resources and, in many cases, even abuse and discrimination.
The World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday warned against any complacency in the coronavirus death rate, saying that with the increasing number of cases, mortality would also increase. He also said healthy young people will have to wait until 2022 to receive a vaccine.
New cases reach 100,000 daily in Europe. Nearly 20,000 infections were reported in Britain, while Italy, Switzerland and Russia were among the nations with record numbers of cases.
However, the image, which was shared on October 5, has gone viral on social media platforms as a symbol of hope and laughter. It is to remind weary souls around the world that, regardless of trials and tribulations, hope springs eternal and life, perhaps, will continue.
