On the off chance that we moderate it so diseases occur more than 10 or a year rather than more than one month, that is going to have a major effect the extent that what number of individuals truly contaminated, what number of individuals may wind up hospitalized, and what number of they wind up biting the dust," said Tara Smith, a Kent State University disease transmission specialist. "We talk about it as 'straightening the plague bend' — with the goal that it is anything but a major, abrupt top in cases, however it's an increasingly moderate level after some time." Since this is a zoonotic malady, which means it originated from a creature, finding and wiping out that source would likewise help. Or on the other hand possibly an immunization or antiviral will be created rapidly to control a more extensive pestilence (however an antibody is relied upon to take in any event a year).
The coming periods of hotter climate could likewise assume a job in at any rate hindering the infection.

Re-established  Link with the lander Vikram


Not losing hope, the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) continued to make all-out efforts to establish link with Chandrayaan 2's Vikram lander, now lying on the lunar surface after a hard-landing.
Vikram, with rover 'Pragyan' housed inside it, hit the lunar surface after communication with the ground-stations was lost  contect with the Chandrayaan 2 during its final descent, just 2.1 km above the lunar surface, in the early hours of Saturday.

Re-established  Link with the lander Vikram


"It had a hard-landing very close to the planned (touch-down) site as per the images sent by the on-board camera of the orbiter. The lander is there as a single piece, not broken into pieces. It's in a tilted position," an Isro official associated with the mission claimed on Monday.
"We are making all-out efforts to see whether communication can be re-established with the lander," the official said."An ISRO team is the on the job at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) here."



Re-established  Link with the lander Vikram



Chandrayaan 2 comprises an orbiter, lander (Vikram) and rover (Pragyan). The mission life of the lander and rover is one Lunar day, which is equal to 14 earth days.
Isro Chairman K Sivan had said on Saturday that the space agency would try to restore link with the lander for 14 days, and reiterated the resolve on Sunday after the orbiter's camera spotted it on the Lunar surface.An ISRO official said: "Unless and until everything is intact (lander), it's very difficult (to re-establish contact). Chances are less. Only if it had soft-landing, and if all systems functioned, then only communication can be restored. Things are bleak as of now."
