India On Alert -Quarantine ...


Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease.The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it's important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments.

India could be buying time to stock up on testing kits and add isolation and hospital beds.
As known mass testing is not a solution, but India testing appears to be too limited.
We need to quickly expand to restrict community transmission.
In many ways, it is all about India trying to battle a pandemic with limited resources.
Experts talk about the country's success in defeating polio, combating small pox, successfully controlling the spread of HIV/Aids, and more recently H1N1 with rigorous surveillance, sharp identification of vulnerable people, targeted intervention, and an early engagement with the private sector to prevent disease spread.

Yet, coronavirus is one of the deadliest transmissible viruses in recent history.
Every day lost in effective response means the looming danger of a surge in infections.
India spends a paltry 1.28% of its GDP on health care, and that may begin to bite if there's a full-blown outbreak.
Partial lockdowns in many cities - shutting schools, colleges, businesses and suspending some rail transport - proves that the government fears that community transmission of the virus might have begun.

COVID-19 virus can be transmitted in areas with hot and humid climates.

Myth busters - From the evidence so far,the COVID-19 virus can be transmitted in ALL AREAS, including areas with hot and humid weather.
Regardless of climate, adopt protective measures if you live in, or travel to an area reporting COVID-19.
The best way to protect yourself against COVID-19 is by frequently cleaning your hands.
By doing this you eliminate viruses that may be on your hands and avoid infection that could occur by then touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.

We have a simple message to all-

India should be able to test all suspected cases, they cannot fight this pandemic blindfolded,
The jury is out on this one. India had tested some 14,175 people in 72 state-run labs as of Thursday evening - one of the lowest testing rates in the world.
The reason: the country has limited testing. So, only people who have been in touch with an infected person or those who have travelled to high-risk countries, or health workers managing patients with severe respiratory disease

will therefore try to convey to people far from our reality what we are living in India in these days of Covid-19 pandemic.

This sentence is not for the Panic status of the Public, but when the message of the dangerousness of what is happening does not reach people which the government shudder.

Stricly fly the face of the instructions and make life safe dont Neglect.
