Genus epidemicus

Though there has not been any published clinical trial on the management of COVID-19 yet, but the guidelines stated by Master Hahnemann in Organon Of Medicine, inaphorisms 100 to 102,as 'take a thorough case for totality of symptoms when investigating an Epidemic or Sporadic disease, it makes no difference if something similar has ever appeared before under the same name or any other new name. The sketch of the epidemic disease picture becomes complete with characteristics and peculiarities like general symptoms. But in an epidemic disease, the totality of its symptoms can’t be learned from single patient, only from the sufferings of several patients of different constitutions.’

Conclusion
