Big B also revealed why he was detained at home in solo quarantine. He also said that medical professionals were unsure of the advice that was to be given to a patient who had recovered. These professionals did not state how patients should conduct themselves. Medical experts said that developed antibodies in the body’s system prevented the reoccurrence of the Covid-19 virus. However, Mr. Bachchan said that there had been several cases of reoccurrences even though other parameters were taken into consideration.

The first part of Big B’s blog appears to be written in a rather unique fashion. Big B wrote, "The World doth change..it changeth each hour..it changeth now more than before..an invisible little unknown virus has laid humanity to rest, and brought it to its knees..".

While the veteran actor commented on the uncertainty of current times he also stated that medical professionals were determined to find every possible solution for the problem. Talking about the plight of the medical professionals, Amitabh Bachchan said that professionals from the entire world did not know how to deal with the ailment hence they took their chances to save more lives. The actor felt that even if a single life would be saved then these trials would prove to make a difference.

Mr. Bachchan’s blog reflected a sense of helplessness. Amitabh Bachchan said, "The medical profession in the entire World is for the very time at a loss as to how to deal with this ailment..chances and trials are being taken..as must they should, for even if one life is saved by some procedure followed by one doctor or medical institute, then ONE life at least has been saved”.

Mr. Bachchan felt that the world was being held at ‘ransom’, however, there was nothing beneficial that was coming from any source. The actor said, "Its almost like we are being held to ransom..and nothing is coming from any source, or from they that hold us as to, what needs to be delivered for our captive release"!!!
