Is history repeating itself: Omicron's wave is like the flu pandemic in 1918, even at that time masks and lockdown were necessary....

The wave from the Omicron variant in the world is very similar to the flu pandemic of the year 1918. Even a century ago, people used to come out of the house wearing masks and today the same situation is being seen even after a century. According to researcher Christopher McKnight Nichols of Oregon State University in the US, the 1918 flu, like Omicron, was the first to hit young and healthy people. 

Carelessness was seen even in 1918-  People had shown their negligence at that time also. In an article published in The Washington Post, Mr. Nichols wrote that the flu that occurred in February 1918, caused the First World War-like situation and spread from America to the whole world. It was also a viral disease that spread by air. And the rate of spreadability was very high. It took only 6 months for its infection to spread worldwide. However, like Omicron, this flu had a low mortality rate. 

Some of the flu symptoms were very similar to those of the corona mutant  'Omicron'. People used to have colds and fever in them. Even then, by showing carelessness, people took it as a fever that lasted for 3 days. According to Mr. Nichols, in October 1918, a dangerous variant of this flu had arrived, which killed about 2.0 lakhs people in a month in America. By 1919, the flu cases and death rates had decreased. In total, 50 million people died due to flu epidemics around the world. 

There was a lockdown-like situation even during the year 1918 flu pandemic. Governments closed movie theatres, pools, and other public places even in the year1918 flu pandemic due to people's carelessness. It was necessary for people to wear masks outside the house. People were put in jail for not wearing masks. It was also common to follow isolation and social distancing when infected with the flu. 

Scientists had tried to make a vaccine a century ago but failed, unfortunately:    Mr. Nichols says that scientists had tried a lot to make a vaccine for the flu in 1918, but at that time they were not successful. Therefore, it is very important to use whatever vaccines and booster doses are available to fight against the coronavirus and its variants. According to his opinion, Corona will never end like the flu spread in 1918 and still among us but in the weak conditions. Mr. Nichols believes that just as the flu virus is still present in the environment, in the same way, the coronavirus is not going anywhere. After a time corona will also become a normal virus for us like flu.

So, it would be better to avoid carelessness and follow all the precautionary measures as provided by the health department from time to time and wear proper facemasks, sanitize your things, wash your hands properly, make appropriate distances avoid gathering and better to stay home and if, really need to go out, then only go with proper protocols. This is also a kind of help to the Government to control the spreading of the disease and fight against the corona.

Stay home, stay healthy, stay safe...  

Along with corona, Florona a new virus come to disturb human life …

A new type of case related to Corona has come to light in Israel. Double infection of Covid-19 and influenza has been found in a pregnant woman. The disease has been named 'Florona'. This has increased the concern of scientists amidst the growing cases of Omicron. 

According to the information received so far, there is no new strain of coronae like Delta or Omicron. Both the coronavirus and the influenza virus attack the patient suffering from florona simultaneously. This can make the infection more dangerous. This is the first time a case of Florna has been reported since the beginning of the epidemic.

How dangerous is florona for us? Experts say that the coronavirus infects our respiratory system, and influenza virus infection causes serious diseases like pneumonia and myocarditis. They can even lead to the death of patients in the future. According to the Israel Ministry of Health and the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the infection of florona can spread rapidly. In the last week, Israel hospitals have treated more than 1,800 influenza patients. Due to the wave of Omicron, the cases of corona in the country are doubling every day. According to experts, the Omicron wave in Israel will peak in the next three weeks. 

What are the symptoms of Florona? According to the data so far, a number of symptoms can be seen simultaneously in a person sick with florona. This includes pneumonia, myocarditis, and other respiratory problems. These problems can prove to be fatal if not treated at the right time. 

Role of immunity against florona- According to experts of Cairo University Hospital told that Floraona can infect each person differently. The reason for this is the immunity of the people. According to experts, people's heart muscles can become inflamed due to poor immunity, as it is not common for two serious viruses to attack simultaneously. Research is being done on what other harm can happen to us from Florona. 

Israel Health Ministry's opinion on Florna- At present, the Israel Ministry of Health has recommended to the government that individuals older than six months of age should be given an influenza vaccine that is safe even with the corona vaccine dose. If the officials are to be believed, there may be more such cases of Florna in the country, which have not been identified yet.

Happy New Year - 2022 ; hope to be a Now Happy Year...

WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR - 2022...

Yes. The whole world is suffering from Coronavirus and its various mutants. many attempts are being made to control the pandemic but a controlling pandemic is now becoming challenging as the coronaviruses keep on mutating and forming new mutant that is very much resistant to the human body even to the vaccines that had already been developed to control this virus. Many of the countries have now started to face the third wave of the pandemic. 

A new variant of coronavirus i.e. Omicron again spreading rapidly and the expert says its spreadability rate is more than 10 times of the Delta variant and also very much infectious. Initially, it is not showing any danger and gives symptoms just like a very common flu or viral infection but at a sudden, it acts on the breathing system and makes it damages. It has also been said that the people may get infected even after taking full doses of the vaccines, but the effect would be lesser and need not be hospitalized but get cured at home quarantine with the fully followed protocols. 

The viruses now started to attack over more than 100 countries in the world. India is also passing with the risky zone of Omnicron viruses. It has been observed that in the last week, the number of cases is drastically increased. The majority of cases are observed in Delhi and Maharashtra like highly populated cities. Govt of India has taken utmost efforts to control the spreadability of the Omnicron viruses but merely efforts of the Govt. of India would never work until unless we the citizen of India cooperate well with the government. 

I have seen practically even in hospital a doctor, ward boys, and duty nurses either not wearing face masks or wearing improper face masks that mostly cover the chin, not mouth and nose where the maximum entry made by the viruses. The public is also not very much aware and no one taking care of it. The gathering has not been stopped. Today is the end of the year 2021. We have already faced a lot of problems, many families have already been destroyed due to pandemics. The not recoverable loss was seen in thousands of families. 

I personally request to my brother and sisters of the world and India, please we should not give chances to spread this deadly virus, Better to avoid gathering in the happy new year eve. Practically speaking even God also helps us to avoid gathering and that is why most part of the Indian states has got good rains today and still continuing. We have to understand the hints of God and move accordingly. The celebration is good but if we will be alive with health. 

So, please follow all the protocols of the coronaviruses and go outside if really necessary otherwise please stay at home. The good time will come and surely we will enjoy then....

Stay healthy, stay safe...  

Omicron making surprising entry to those persons who have fully vaccinated also - A report...

Research is still going on whether the Covid vaccine will be effective in front of the new variant of the coronavirus, Omicron, while on the other hand, this variant found in two people of Singapore has proved to fail not only with both the doses of the vaccine but also the booster dose. Both people found infected with the Omicron variant in Singapore have received a booster dose of the Covid vaccine. 

Despite this, due to their being infected with Omicron, questions are now being raised about the ability of booster doses to give protection against the virus. The first case of Omicron found in Singapore is of a 24-year-old woman who works in the passenger service at the airport. This woman has been found to be Omicron positive in the initial test. Singapore's health ministry said this was Omicron's first local case in the city. The second case is of foreign infection. The person found infected in this had returned from Germany on 6 December and it is believed that he may have been hit by Omicron in Germany itself. he had also received a booster dose. 

According to the Singapore ministry, both the infected persons are recovering at the National Center for Infectious Diseases. All his contacts will be quarantined for 10 days. The ministry says – In view of the speed of the spread of the Omicron virus, we are assuming that many other cases related to Omicron can also be found on the border of the country and among our community.

Vaccine maker Pfizer-BioNTech earlier this week claimed the third dose of the vaccine, i.e. the booster dose, was able to kill the Omicron variant. The company made this claim on the basis of preliminary lab results of ongoing research into the effect of the vaccine on the Omicron variant, but cases found in Singapore have raised questions about these claims. Omicron or researchers should have looked forward new scope in this regard. 

Let us see but please follow protocol made earlier for Covid – 19 till the new arrival of solution for the Omicron. 

Stay healthy, stay safe…

What is Nasal Spray Vaccine, what are its benefits...

The whole world is preparing at different levels to deal with the coronavirus. Meanwhile, the nasal vaccine has again come into the limelight. The scientific name of the nasal vaccine is BBV154. This is the first such corona vaccine that has been trialed in India. 

[Nasal spray vaccine for Covid]

There have been two phase trials of the nasal vaccine. At the same time, now the approval for the third trial has also been received from AIIMS. The first trial was done on volunteers for 18 to 60 years; in August the second phase trial was approved. At the same time, the third phase of the trial is still pending. Significantly, the nasal spray vaccine is being made in India by Bharat Biotech. At the same time, research on this type of vaccine is going on in other countries. 

What is Nasal Spray Vaccine? The nasal spray vaccine will be given through the nose rather than by injection that will prepare the immune part inside the nose. The nasal spray is considered more effective because the major part of many diseases passes through the nose. In such a situation, the nasal spray vaccine prepares immunity by going into the inner part of the nose and helps in preventing diseases. 

Benefits of Nasal Spray Vaccine-

• We will get rid of injections. 
• Our immunity will be ready inside the nose. 
• We will get rid of respiratory infections. 

How many doses and how many days will it take? According to sources, the third phase trial is still pending. After which the second dose will probably be given after 28 days. Research is also going on with trials in Australia, British, England including India. Work is going on in this vaccine in China as well. 

The nasal vaccine was used on European cats. Which proved to reduce the virus of Covid-19 by 96 %. The study worked at the Center for Public Health England, a British Government agency. At the same time, in the research of scientists from Lancaster University in England and the Texas Biomedical Research Institute in San Antonio, positive results have also been shown on the lungs from the vaccine.

This symptom indicates Covid-19 infection even after fully vaccinated…

The outbreak of the second wave of coronavirus is still giving fear to us, however, the majority of people are seen on the streets without making distance from people, not wearing masks and the people who have got fully vaccinated, observed not to follow any Covid protocols.    Perhaps, the public forgot that scene when patients were fighting a dangerous struggle between death and life. 

Misunderstandings are being created in the minds of the public that nothing will happen to them after vaccination. At the same time many people raising questions that even after getting the vaccine, the corona has to happen, then why is vaccination important?

Even after getting the vaccine, it is necessary to wear a mask. Because the virus is still among us. Follow Covid protocols. Keep a distance of a minimum of two yards, sanitize your hands and wear a mask properly. Stay at home. Go out only when very much necessary. Do not go to crowded places. Covid is continuously mutating. Keep a distance in the shop or public places.

Please note, the second wave is not completely over. Even today thousands of cases are being received in many states and cities. At the same time, the possibility of a third consecutive wave is being expressed by experts. It is also to be said that if people move carelessly in this way, then the third wave cannot be avoided under any circumstances. The chances of the third wave coming soon will increase further.

Let us know what is the use of the Covid vaccine when there is no guaranty to be free from infection even after vaccination?

Actually, many people have come under the grip of corona even after vaccination but they did not need to go to the hospital. He got cured by taking treatment at home. The severity of the virus decreases after vaccination. But if anybody got fully vaccinated and after the vaccination, he or she gets the following symptoms, it means there is a chance of Covid infection either minor or major, and needs isolation plus consultation of doctors.

·         Running nose
·         No smell
·         Sore throat
·         Headache
·         Having a cold 

If the following symptoms have appeared before vaccination that also means the chance of Covid is there - 

·         Headache
·         Fever with chills

·         Sore throat
·         Running nose

·         Having a cough

·         Sore feet

Please do not be careless. We should control ourselves and not give any chances to further 

lockdown because we already suffered by all means.

Stay healthy, Stay safe…….
