Google Doodle Honours Public Healthcare Professionals, Scientists
Google, on Monday, shared a Doodle to say “thank you” to all healthcare workers and members of the scientific community who have faced massive hurdles and raced against time to help us face the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. The doodle shows the first letter of the word Google sending out a heart emoji to the last letter, that has been designed to resemble a scientist or researcher delivering a speech on a podium, possibly sharing the breakthrough findings about the COVID-19 vaccine. Google India has also tweeted about the doodle.
The search giant said on its Doodles archive page that the latest Doodle was part of a series it has been releasing to honour those on the frontlines during the World Immunisation Week —celebrated every year in the last week of April.
This #WorldImmunizationWeek, we send our thanks to every public health worker and scientific researcher working tirelessly to find ways to defeat COVID-19 ❤️

Excellent
Google Inc’s efforts are constructively contributing towards victory against Covid19 – Kudos.
Yes, its time on, to think the means to eradicate Covid19 – Not just through vaccination but drugs too, to eliminate Covid19 once for all.
