The Coronavirus threat has spread far and wide from China where it originated with entire Northern Italy quarantined and numbers of infected persons growing in the USA. Stock markets have crashed to all-time lows especially in Asia and this epidemic may be one of the worst faced by modern mankind yet.

Photos that have been released from China show how nurses there have braved death and are continuing to fight the coronavirus with severe skin allergies and lacerations from wearing masks. With only about three hours of sleep per day, these brave women are seen with eyes bulged and skin paled. It is said that most of these lion-hearted women have been staying in the hospitals for the past several weeks without meeting their loved ones and are continuing their fights to save the lives of others. It is truly these kind hearted and courageous souls who are the real heroes of the world today and this Women's Day it is only a small gesture for us to applaud their efforts.
