In a 9.40-minute video uploaded on YouTube, doctors shake their leg to convey a pertinent message of “Be the hope. Together we can. Together we will. Because we care” to their fraternity and those helping them, such as paramedics and housekeeping staff. The video also conveys social distancing and a hand wash messaging in style while laying stress on “Don’t worry. Be happy.”
