SpaandanB's support for front line workers and disadvantaged people to fight off the global corona virus pandemic
The deadly Corona Virus wreaked havoc worldwide. The statistics are staggering: More than a million deaths, over 38 million infected worldwide in 235 countries, and all numbers are on an exponential rise in some countries. US alone has over 215,000 deaths and about 8 million people contracted the disease (as of October 16, 2020 based on WHO).
The scourge of COV-19 also engulfed Bangladesh and caused more than 5000 deaths and about half a million people contracted the disease. Even though the death number is relatively smaller in Bangladesh, but because of the socio-economical situation, Covid-19 caused extra hardship to disadvantaged people. Also because of lack of supplies, front line workers are facing immense danger every day handling corona patients.
