Do not Panic, Prepare yourself for the pandemic--God forbid tomorrow, it could be me or you
Today Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek, daughter in law Aishwarya and granddaughter Aradhya were tested COVID-19 positive. But frankly speaking, it did not surprise me. Doctors
have already warned that nearly 30 to 40 % of the population would be infected
by it, which means one out of three persons at least will be affected by it. The disease is so contagious that those who are taking utmost precautions would not
be spared by it—Amitabh Bachchan is no different.
Do not panic, prepare
yourself for Corona before it attacks you.
- Wash your hands every two hours, it would prevent the spread of
Coronavirus to others and to yourself.
- Avoid touching your hands with your Mouth, Nose and eyes.
- Drink hot water
(at least 150 ml) every two hours and
also gargle if possible. It would minimize
the COVID-19 virus in your mouth and windpipe. So even if Corona attacks you,
its intensity would be very low.
- Always BRUSH your
teeth before sleeping and gargle
with warm salty water. (it is very important). When you sleep for 7-8
hours, COVID-19-- if it is in your body would multiply eating food which is in
your mouth or in the windpipe. If you clean it before sleeping, the chances of
multiplication would reduce considerably.
- Have supplementary doses of Vitamins mainly Vitamin C but
not in large quantities. On average our body needs 100 mg Vitamin C every
day.
- Take potion (काड़ा) that prevents viral
diseases every day or make it at home. Take one leaf of TULSI, a Giloy leaf, a pinch of
tea and kali mirch, a leaf of dalchini (add whatever is available), boil it and
then, in the end, add a few drops of lemon juice/concentrate take in three-four
times a day. It would not only improve your immunity but would also clear COVID
19 in your throat.
If you take all these preventive measures, I do not assure you that you will not have COVID-19, but trust me your chances of getting reduces by 80%, it would not be that intensive.... and your chances of survival from the disease increases by 90 %.
What is COVID-19
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
Now let's talk How we get COVID-19.
It enters into our body through NOSE, MOUTH (and in some rare cases
through eyes), stays in our nasal path, throat and windpipe areas, stays there
for nearly four to six hours before it enters our lungs. If it enters into our
stomach it would die automatically.
It may enter into our blood if there is any
injury in our body (chances are very rare) or if there is any injury in
the nasal, throat, mouth or windpipe area (here Chances are very
high).
MUST REMEMBER If it enters our blood, there is hardly any
treatment except praying, increasing your immunity, and keeping yourself happy
as much as you can. Once it is in your blood it will flow into your body and
can attack any of your vital organs.
MUST REMEMBER: if it is in your blood, Chances of survival (by Europe experience) ARE
just 5 out of 100… which means 95 % people who have Corona in their Blood might
die of it. in this case, I
suggest you write your WILL and try to complete your all
uncompleted tasks (I AM NOT JOKING)...
Survival (in case it is in your blood) only
depends upon your age, immunity, your lifestyle, your state of mind, and
lastly your will power.
How to prevent its spread.
Preventing its spread is no rocket science.
Understand your enemy and fight it out. We know it will enter through mouth and nose,
and eyes….SO TRY NOT TO TOUCH IT UNNECESSARILY.
If you have any internal injury/infection treat
it on top priority…. Because otherwise, it may directly enter into your blood.
You know you only touch your mouth, nose and
eyes through your hands. SO WASH YOUR HANDS, NOSE AND MOUTH EVERY TWO HOURS (IF
YOU ARE OUT OF HOME), AND EVERY SIX HOURS (IF YOU ARE AT HOME).
Try not to invite anybody home or go out to meet somebody until it
is important.
Do not stay for more than 30 minutes at any place like
shopping….acts. and avoid going to places which are centrally airconditioned.
Use MASK only when it is necessary otherwise it may have an
adverse effect. You do not need to put a mask when you are at home… or when you
are driving alone.
Avoid Air conditioner at home…and if you are using it do not use
it for more than 12 hours a day and its temperature should not be less than 28 degree
Celsius. During morning hours and evening hours open your windows for cross
ventilation.
There is no medicine for Covid-19 as of today June 29. There are
some preventive allopathic medicines (I AM NOT MENTIONING IT BECAUSE ONLY
DOCTORS SHOULD ADVISE IT).
However, there are few things which can help improve your immunity
and prevent you from all kind of bacterial/ viral infections including
Covid-19. (BUT DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING IN EXCESS… IT WOULD PUT EXTRA PRESSURE ON
YOUR VITAL ORGANS MAINLY KIDNEY).
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET COVID-19
1) First thing that you are very lucky as it was diagnosed in time. Unfortunately, in 60 -70 % cases people do not get to know of it and keep spreading it to their near and dear ones.
2) 2) ISOLATE yourself and listen to very light music of your choice (it would relax your brain from tensions) and all your organs would fight against CORONA. Forget all the worries of the world and only think positive to cure yourself. Always remember a person with tension free mind recovers 50 % faster than a person with tension so shun unnecessary worldly tensions.
3) 3) BESIDES FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS OF COVID-19 EXPERT DOCTORS, You must be in regular touch with your family physician or a doctor you trust. Apprise him of every development and REMEMBER YOUR FAMILY PHYSICIAN KNOW YOU FOR AGES, HE KNOWS ABOUT YOUR BODY MORE THAN YOU AND WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTANDING THE TREATMENT GIVEN BY A COVID-19 DOCTOR.
1) 4) STRICTLY FOLLOW THE PREVENTIVE MEASURES AS MENTIONED. AND FOLLOW ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY YOUR COVID-19 DOCTOR and family physician...
5) KEEP HYGIENE DO NOT ENTERTAIN ANYONE EVEN YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS. DO NOT SHARE ANYTHING with your family members WHICH MAY CREATE PANIC AMONG YOUR DEAR ONES.
3) 6) NO ONE GUARANTEE THAT all these things would save you from COVID-19, but it is also a fact that your chances of entering into THE CLLUB of “COVID-19 DEAD” would reduce substantially.
Ends.
