Abstract
COVID-19 is raging through different countries in what is popularly known as second wave. Parallels can be drawn between second waves of COVID-19 and Spanish flu considering massive infectivity and case fatalities. Coronavirus 2019 is the disease that has become more ferocious day by day. As it was thought after lowering in infection cases, it is not over yet. Viruses, especially coronaviruses, are notorious for mutations The novel coronavirus has presented its notoriety by mutating into double mutant strain, which is wreaking havoc in the second most populous country, India. The health care infrastructure is almost collapsed and cannot cater such huge demand. Vaccinations must be the utmost priority as they have been effective in severe cases. Mutations needs to be monitored closely. Ramping up of health care infrastructure through public as well as private efforts can help a lot. Spreading authentic information can be the antidote for vaccine hesitancy. The herculean task of containing the deadly virus is not only on hospital care facilities but also on people.
