After SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) , the World is grappling with yet another "new age" epidemic viz Coronavirus, rapidly spreading and believed to be originated from China taking tolls across the globe and if not tackled immediately will destroy many lives and pose serious epidemic challenge to the world.
The virus is fatal as it transfer from human to human and due to age of globalization people are travelling across the globe and an infected person can transfer the virus to wherever they travel across the globe. The virus came to India as well and detected in few people being quarantined to avoid further spreading but still posing threat as the symptoms appear deceptive (akin to common viral infection) to prescribe resulting into casualties.
The symptoms / description are..
a. Repeated high fever
b. Prolonged coughing after fever
c. Uneasiness mainly respiratory related, headache
d. Highly contagious
I was really astonished and equally disturbed watching clips of peculiar or rather barbaric food habits which are hard to believe still exist in 21st century. Experts in the field, suspect Bats could be the origin of this corona influenza virus and after seeing clips could have transferred to human after savouring it.
As prevention is better than cure, here is prevention measure, notified by Ministry Of Health - India, of corona virus influenza outbreak
- Keep your throat moist
- do not let your throat dry up
- do not hold your thirst , keep drinking water
- avoid going to crowded places
- wear mask as needed while commuting in public transport, trains, buses etc
Please spread the awareness and take care of your near and dear ones.
