Fighting the coronavirus pandemic is hard, in fact it seems impossible. Doctors, nurses, carers and paramedics around the world are facing an unprecedented workload in overstretched health facilities, and with no end in sight. They are working in stressful and frightening work environments, not just because the virus is little understood, but because in most settings they are under-protected, overworked and themselves vulnerable to infection. The risk to doctors, nurses and others on the front lines has become plain: Italy has seen at least 18 doctors with coronavirus die. Spain reported that more than 3,900 health care workers have become infected. In dire times such as these, people are trying their best to show their appreciation to the frontline workers. Here are some images -- from clapping for them to singing for them.. A 'thank you' in any way goes a long way around.

After their early exit from the Asia Cup, there seems to be more bad news for Pakistan cricket fans with reports of 'infighting' within the national team. As per PTI, captain Shahid Afridi and Pakistan's national coach Waqar Younis are at loggerheads and attempts are being made by Pakistan Cricket Board to sort out the differences ahead of the crucial ICC World T20 in India. Chief selector Haroon Rasheed announced the revised World T20 squad on Monday, but insiders in the board say all is not well even as Pakistan prepares to leave for India on Tuesday night. "The board Chairman, Shaharyar Khan will be meeting with Afridi in Lahore later today while he has had a detailed meeting with Waqar," one well-informed source told PTI. "Waqar, when he met with the Chairman, expressed his displeasure over the working of the national selectors and also voiced some complaints about Afridi," the source added.
