We want a tough lockdown to stop Covid's second wave, says aiims chief

 

The News Cover: India's healthcare system has reached its peak. In areas where the positivity rate is more than 10 percent, there should be a lockdown like in March last year. AIIMS chief Randeep Guleria expressed this view on Saturday. He said no one could have imagined that the coronavirus would spread at such a high rate. Night curfew has been imposed in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Haryana and several other states. There has also been a lockdown over the weekend. But it could not stop the infection. Twelve Covid patients died at Batra Hospital in Delhi due to lack of oxygen. Among them is doctor RK Himthani. "I have known Himthani since he was a student," Guleria said. His death is a personal loss to me. Referring to the deaths of 12 people at Batra Hospital, the AIIMS chief said, "What is the reason for this? 

Because the number of infected is constantly increasing. The number of infections must be reduced. No other healthcare system in the world can withstand such stress. Now we have to do a strict lockdown. ' On Saturday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that the tightening in the capital would continue for another week. Anthony Fouzio, a health adviser to US President Joe Biden, has spoken out in favor of the lockdown. In an interview, he said the supply of medical equipment like oxygen, medicines, PPE kits should be kept smooth. In other words, it is possible to prevent the infection only if the lockdown on the one hand and proper medical services on the other hand can be run in parallel. In that interview, without naming any government, Dr. Anthony said, "The victory was announced a long time ago."

What exactly did Anthony say? In his words, ‘India needs a complete lockdown on an urgent basis to break the chain of transmission. It should run for a few weeks. No one wants to lock the country. But the importance of the situation must be understood. Realizing that situation, I am saying that now India needs a complete lockdown. He also said, "I'm not talking about a six-month lockdown. But a few weeks of continuous lockdown is required. Which will break the cycle of infection. Declare a lockdown and make it work properly. Only then is it possible to prevent infection. His clear statement, 'Besides lockdown, medical services must also continue at the same pace. Oxygen supply must be ensured. The supply of PPE kits, medicines and other items should also be kept normal.

covid -19 crisis news: Ground Report VS TV Fake News Reality. The News Cover

 

The News Cover: So there is no access to information. Are you satisfied with the COVID-19 situation portrayed on the TV? No, I am not satisfied at all. You see for yourself here, you’ll only see dead patients. The backyard is worse. 

Why do you think the TV is not highlighting the situation? Because everything is collapsed, sir. Nothing is proper. If the government knew about the pandemic, why didn’t they pay any attention? The government is doing rallies. 

They’ll play petty politics. But people are dying here, right? The common man is dying here. People who have money and connections they are getting saved. What is the government doing? NOTHING. They spend in useless projects. 

They made Sardar Patel's Statue... If they had made hospitals instead, so many lives would have been saved in this situation. If the BJP didn’t make the house that they made for themselves and instead made hospitals, the money wouldn’t have gone to waste. 

These projects are useless for us now. No oxygen cylinders at one hospital and no beds in the other. People are running from one hospital to another. We can clearly see the flaws in the infrastructure. We cannot give excuses for lack of money. 

If you remember, on 27th March PM CARES fund was launched. The donation amounted to 3000 crores on the first day itself. But political parties are busy in rallies. You can notice the attitude of the ministers. Corpses are falling, and they’re celebrating.

Corona spreads more than sneezing and coughing, explains how germs float in the air, Lancet explains

 

The News Cover: Corona Airborne. Can float in air particles. The Lancet, one of the world's most popular medical journals, reports. Airborne means coronavirus that can be spread by airborne particles or aerosols. Now the question may arise how the virus spreads in the aerosol? Does this mean that the infected patient sneezes or coughs or water droplets from the mouth or what is called a droplet spreads the virus? That's not always the case, researchers say. But the virus will not spread from the sneeze and cough of the corona patient. The researchers explained in detail how the virus can spread in the air and how the infection can enter the body. He also gave guidelines for staying healthy. 

The Lancet talks about how the virus spreads in the air.First of all, scientists have been saying for so long that viral strains may be mixed in the water particles coming out of the human nose and mouth. When these water particles come in contact with air, they are filled with water vapor to form larger water particles. This is called air droplet. Floating on this droplet can spread viral strains. 

Researchers at The Lancet say that it is not possible for large water droplets or droplets to survive in the air for long periods of time. Because, under the influence of gravity, any heavy object cannot float for long. So it is wrong to think that the large droplets that are formed due to sneezing or coughing will spread the virus far and wide. Second, this time the question may be how the virus is floating so far? Researchers say that viral strains are spread by making small particles that are floating in the aerosol or air base. Aerosol is a small particle, its diameter is not more than 5 micrometers. So it is possible for the virus particles to spread far and wide by floating in these particles. 

To put it simply, Even if you are more than 6 feet away from an infected patient, the virus particles can still float in the air and enter through your nose or mouth. Just as polluted particles floating in the air enter our bodies every day with our breathing, so is this matter. According to scientists, SARS-COV-2 virus particles can spread in aerosols, which means that they can enter the body with the air. So we need to be much more careful. Wearing a face-mask is mandatory, it is very good to have a face-shield or face-cover in the crowd. Mutual distance must be maintained and cleanliness must be observed. If the infected patient's sneezing and coughing does not spread? 

The Lancet report says it also spreads, but not over long distances. If you are very close to an infected patient, water droplets or droplets of the virus can enter the body. These droplets have a diameter of about 100 micrometers, cannot float in the air for long, Fell to the ground. Rather than talk about it, small aerosols can last longer. Researchers say that if asymptomatic patients do not have symptoms of sneezing or coughing, then how is the infection spreading from them! The reason is this aerosol. Asymptomatic patients can spread 33-59% more infections. Talking, screaming, singing, etc. can spread more than the infection is spreading in the patient's sneeze. 

Tiny water droplets come out a lot when talking. By harboring them, virus particles can spread. This aerosol is also one of the reasons for the spread of infection among caged animals in zoos. It has also been observed that infected animals have been isolated, even after the infection has entered the body of an animal kept in a distant cage. This means that the virus is spread by airborne particles. Asymptomatic patients do not show symptoms of sneezing and coughing, then how the infection is spreading from them! The reason is this aerosol.

This means that the virus is spread by airborne particles.

Scientists have given another important piece of information in the medical journal Lancet. The report says that the risk of contracting the virus is lower if you are in an open space from a closed room. Because the concentration of the virus is much higher in a closed room. If there are more people in the same room, the spread of the infection will increase. But if you stay in the open, the risk of infection will decrease. 

The risk of spreading the infection is also high in similar closed vehicles. And if the car runs AC, the infection can spread more quickly. Researchers say it's best to hang out in the open air rather than in a closed room all day. Then fresh air will enter the lungs. Even if the infection does enter, the virus particles will be inactivated by getting fresh oxygen from the environment. 

The risk of respiratory problems will not be so high. Researchers say Stay at home but keep the windows open. The higher the air circulation, the lower the density of the virus. But staying in a closed room all day will increase the risk of infection. And when out on the road, it is better to avoid contact. Virus particles can spread not only from an infected patient's clothes or used items, but also to any surface or smooth material. The infection can also spread from there. So we have to be careful in all aspects.

"Ten streams of evidence collectively support the hypothesis that #SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted primarily by the airborne route."
