Regardless of where the COVID-19 virus was created, it is spreading rapidly during the third wave of pandemic and doubling every two days or so. This statement is supported by findings from In the first WAVE, it took around 10 to 12 days for it to double in number whereas in the second wave, it only doubled in eight days.
As the third wave is running concurrently on a number of diseases, new methods are being inserted. For example, instead of referring to terminally ill patients who have received their final invitro fertilization technique, people may soon be referred to as imminently diseased.
