Coronavirus Third wave: What do we know so far

Leave a comment

Unfortunately, coronavirus does not seem to leave its stranglehold in our country. Particularly, the second wave of Covid 19 has been devastating in terms of number of cases and death of young population. The second wave added a lot of pressure on our already depleted healthcare resources. What was devastating about the second wave was that the quick progression of the illness and severity even in young population with no comorbidities. In the wake of Coronavirus second wave, it is extremely critical to reevaluate the existing healthcare infrastructure in our country, which grossly proved to be inadequate.

There has been some respite of late because of increased vaccination drives. The scary part is the horror of third wave of the Coronavirus Pandemic as it is expected to strike children mainly. The mutant variant, Delta Plus is already beginning to spread across several states.

Coronavirus Third Wave

While it is generally agreed that there is usually a time gap of 15-16 weeks between waves of a pandemic, we do not have an accurate way to estimate when will the third wave of Corona Pandemic will begin. Some studies indicate that the rate of infection and casualties may be much higher in the third wave. While the others indicate, there will be a delay in the onset of Pandemic, where it’s expected to start around November and reach its peak in December. Also, there have been reports that states which were worst-effected during the earlier two waves might see less infection rate than other states. From what we’ve gathered, the symptoms of the third wave are fever, breathlessness, cough, and chest pain.

It’s important to ramp up the medical infrastructure and ensure that we do not commit the same mistakes as we did during the previous two waves. Even if there is a decline in the present number of cases, it cannot be taken for granted and we must become complacent and be wary of the theory that the third wave might be the most dangerous one to hit India.

Now that the vaccines are available, as responsible citizen, we must ensure we get inundated with both the doses of covid vaccines at the earliest to save our self from getting infected in the third wave. While the delta plus variant is known to escape antibodies, however, the level of infection appears mild after vaccination.

Stay Safe

As a third wave of Coronavirus appears more or less inevitable, ensure you wear masks and do not flout covid norms such as maintaining social distancing. Scientific studies indicate that fresh waves are more severe than the previous waves. It can be well-managed if enough measures are taken in advance.

Continue to follow COVID-appropriate behaviour. Avail work from options if available and ensure you do not venture out unnecessarily. If you’re travelling to work or for any purpose, ensure you wear double masks. As always, prevention is better than cure. Our actions in these couple of months before the start of the third wave will determine the impact it’s going to create.

Covid 19 Second wave – Mask Up – Nothing More precious than life

Leave a comment

The Covid 19 Pandemic struck the world like a tsunami last year. Extended lockdowns, loss of job, closure of businesses, lack of entertainment options, social distancing came in its wake. It has been more than a year since the pandemic wrecked havoc across the world and made people endure these hardships. Thankfully, due to timely management, our country was able to thwart a major health crisis last year.

Covid 19

Increase in Covid Numbers

As a curse the pandemic fatigue set in and people threw these norms into the wind. The result can be seen in the increasing number of cases everyday and the fear of situation going out of control.

The Covid situation in India has manifested into a large health crisis, with acute shortage of medical facilities and staff required for to serve a large populace. Several states have admitted that situation has gone out of control. If the lax attitude towards the norm had not set in, we wouldn’t have seen in this position.

Mask Up – the only way

Now it is more important than ever to support our country to relieve ourselves out of this mess. And the only way to get it done is follow strict Covid 19 Protocols like Social Distancing, wearing a mask, using hand sanitizers and soaps to wash our hands frequently and get vaccinated against Covid 19, as soon as you are eligible. Until we develop a herd immunity, we cannot afford to relax. Avoid moving out unnecessarily and stock your essentials at least for a month. As the threat of mutated strains which escapes the immune system also looms large, ensure you do not step out unnecessarily.

People must understand the grave situation and not subject the frontline workers engaged in fighting the crisis to any more hardships. Their hands are already full. Not following the protocols is equivalent to showing a red flag to a raging bull. Realize that masks are not just for your own safety, but also to the life connected to you. With options such as contract tracing and mass hospitalization difficult at this point of time, the best way we can help our country during these moment of crisis is not catch the infection ourselves.

Vaccination

Now that the vaccination drive for all just a few days away, ensure you get vaccinated at the earliest. Even after receiving the shot ensure you strictly follow the Coronavirus protocols. If you are someone with comorbidity like BP, Diabetes, ensure you get vaccinated at the earliest.

Always remember, getting vaccinated is just half-work done, the ultimate goal is to develop a herd immunity which may take a few more months. Do not lower the guard just because you’ve got yourself vaccinated. Apart from the chance of reinfection due to multiple strains of this virus, you can also be a potential carrier.

Do not engage in anti-vax propaganda or circulate disinformation campaign against vaccines. Accord to experts, the curve will flatten only around the first week of June, meaning it’s important to be ultra-cautious for the next two months.

Flatten the Curve

With options such as work-from-home available, ensure you not step out unless it’s absolutely essential. Nothing is more important than saving yourselves and your loved ones. While you are it, take steps to improve your immunity by regularly exercising and consuming an health diet. We understand that being confined in our homes may open the gates for a lot of other physical and mental discomforts. You can always unwind your stress by playing online games like Indian rummy or poker. The only way to deescalate the situation is by strictly following the Covid norms. Stay Home! Stay Safe! Follow the Protocols
