Corona In India, a glance on statistics!
  • Coronavirus first came in India in mid February
    this year, when number of cases were just 3.
  • Three months later, as on, May 15, numbers
    climbed to 85,784
  • Today, total number of cases inn India are more
    than 950,000!
  • Thanks to increased medical care and caution
    among people, death rate has been steadily
    falling. It is 2.6 for now with recovery rate at
    63
  • But the sad fact is that the rate of new cases
    emerging is increasing faster than the new cases
    being recovered!

Updates on COVID-19 vaccine
  • Amidst the staggering figures and considering the
    impact on economics and human interaction,
    continuous lockdown is not a solution to prevent
    the spread.
  • Thus, it is really important, that people
    naturally become immune to the virus. A proper
    vaccine would assist in developing that immunity.
  • Today (15th July), the first batch of first
    coronavirus vaccine, developed by Russia would be
    released, followed by second batch due on 20th
    July.
  • Indias COVAXIN is not behind the race, clinical
    trials are being done, and if everything goes to
    plan, India would be second to release a vaccine
    (Expected date 15th August)

Ways of transmissions
  • Vaccines helps to get you cured. But recall the
    famous saying Prevention is better than cure.
    So to understand how to prevent the virus, it is
    important to know how spreads at the first place.
  • 1. Droplets COVID-19 spreads mainly through
    droplets. Thus, infected person if sneezes,
    coughs, exhales, within 6 feet, he/she may
    breathe the virus into you.
  • 2. Surface contact Droplets contacted by
    touching surfaces may reach ones body by then
    accidental touching his/her mouth, nose or eyes
  • 3. Air transmission Virus can be retained in
    air for as long as 3 hours. Inhaling it can make
    you infected. However, it is not a major
    transmitter.

Medical precautions
  • The four mantras need to be followed to contain
    the spread are
  • Test
  • Trace
  • Isolate
  • Protect (PPE kits)
  • Testing It has to be done on a mass scale to
    resume businesses safely and confidently. For
    this rapid testing equipment should be developed
    and more people for testing should be trained
  • Tracing Tracing proves to be a significant way
    to detect whether one has come within 2 meters of
    distance. This is done using apps like Apple
    COVID-19 app, Arogya-Setu app etc.
  • Isolate Those especially who have come overseas,
    or has been recently infected are advised be
    isolated to avoid potential transmission.
  • Protect People who are more hostile to the virus
    are required to wear PPE (Personal Protective
    Equipment) and others should wear masks at all
    times. This is to create a barrier between the
    wearer and anything that can make the virus enter
    into your body.

How I can adjust to new normal
  • Your mental well-being matters! If you feel
    anxious too often, do check your thinking errors.
    Your sanity is limited by the actions that are in
    your control. Thinking/worrying about something
    beyond your ability is not a good idea.
  • Better accept the reality and respect the
    restrictions. Work from home, practice some
    yoga/exercise, eat home-made/healthy food.
  • Although social distancing is important, it does
    not equate to social isolation. Use
    technology/media to stay connected. After all, we
    are human beings.
  • Anybody can get infected hence all of us have to
    prepare ourselves for what will we do for the 2
    weeks' isolation. We may keep books to read, but
    now being online is such a blessing mobile
    phones are a big blessing where we can do video
    chat with our family members, or we can watch
    movies, or we can watch other daily
    soaps/serials.
  • Be intentionally joyful.
