Covid19 count has crossed 10 lakhs in India today. Till a vaccine is developed, it would continue to infect the population. If the current trend continues, more than 200 lakhs would be affected by Dec 2020 (as per me).
What should each citizen do? Just follow the MOHFW guidelines on safety precautions from their website www.mohfw.gov.in Do visit the site every week to check for latest updates, if any, on safety precautions. And follow them at Home as well as at our Work place.
Every person must practice these. Social distancing, use of masks, steam inhaling every day, drink warm water, sleep for 8 hours, eat well, expose to sunlight in the morning/evening for about 10 to 15 minutes, do some breathing exercises, do not follow news for more than one or twice a day, keep in touch with your friends, family, …
Do not self-medicate. 80 per cent of the people who get infected would not require any special medication, as per doctors. The safety precautions prescribed on MOHFW website would do. One will recover in two weeks.
Only those who have cough that is not subsiding, have breathing problem, have co-morbidities, … may seek medical help. People with these symptoms must seek medical help immediately.
Do not panic. This too will pass. Do not forward negative messages on social media. Not everyone is emotionally strong to face the reality.
Stay Safe. Stay indoor, as far as possible. Avoid going out as far as possible.
We can expect some drugs for Covid19 by Dec 2020. And, a vaccine in 2021. Let's hope for the best.
