Symptoms of corona may be changed in the third wave: Experts says…

Nowadays Omicron started spreading rapidly all over the world. Many experts say that the symptoms observed in coronaviruses might be changed along with a new mutation. As it is practically observed that the Omicron patients have some different symptoms that were detected in the case of coronaviruses and Delta variants. 

In the case of Omicron, it may be abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weakness; there was shortness of breath in the second wave. Corona's third wave has started showing speed all over the country. Meanwhile, many questions are arising in the minds of people regarding the new symptoms and recovery of the corona. 

In such a situation, let us tell you that not only the variant of the corona epidemic has come new in the third wave, but its symptoms have also changed. Expert says that apart from the symptoms of cold, body ache, and weakness were seen in the patients.  Some patients are also complaining of stomach pain, diarrhea. Corona patients used to have trouble breathing in the second wave, but this time in the third wave these symptoms are not visible. It is also told that so far, the maximum number of infected people under 50 have been found. 

Most of them are patients in the age group of 12 to 35 years. This time the infection is being seen less in the elderly. Only those elderly people who have a travel history have been found infected. It is taking 7 to 10 days for the infected patients to recover. At the same time, the acute symptoms of corona are ending in 3 days. This is followed by mild symptoms, which completely disappear in 10 days. Most of the patients are facing the problem of weakness in the body. However, this time the patients are not in need of oxygen so far. 

It is observed that the pace of infection in the third wave is very fast. The doubling rate is being seen in a short time. More cases will increase now. Although the number of serious patients in this is less, what would be the results in the future, it will be known with time only because in the second wave of the corona, the speed of infection was low, however, during that time more seriously infected patients were being found. 

The Delta transition in the second wave is not completely over. In such a situation, there is a possibility of Delta infection in patients with shortness of breath. In this situation, people should always use masks, sanitize hands from time to time as before. It is necessary to follow social distancing. 

Avoid going to crowded areas. If you see symptoms of the corona, you should get tested immediately. At the same time, information about people coming from outside should be given to the administration. This can prevent the spread of infection. 

People should maintain an immunity level to avoid infection. For this, people should consume fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat things that are high in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, oranges, and gooseberries, etc. At the same time, eat fruits and vegetables like papaya with a high amount of vitamin D. Vitamin C and vitamin D protect against corona and other infections.

Infection with Omicron may act as immunity booster and will end pandemic– Expert says…

Experts are stating to Omicron is a vaccine to end the pandemic because it is observed that the Omicron spreading rapidly but the mortality rate of human beings is drastically down in comparison to the Delta variant. The new variant of Corona, Omicron, will be the reason for the total elimination of coronavirus. 

A former scientist of the British Medical Council has given information about this. According to experts, there is no need to fear the rapid spread of Omicron, because of this variant only this epidemic will end. Omicron spreads through the lungs much slower than Delta. 

However, this variant is spreading very fast in Europe and America. According to the Former British Medical, Council Omicron is quite different from the Delta variant. Delta causes damage by reaching the lungs, while Omicron increases its numbers by stopping in the trachea. By the time Omicron reaches the lungs, its speed has decreased by 10 times. Therefore the patient does not need oxygen support.

The human trachea contains the mucosal immune system, which is the center of the immune system. This is where an antibody is made, which is called 'immunoglobulin IgA'. Now that Omicron increases its numbers in the trachea itself, the antibodies already present here are activated more quickly. In simple words, the antibodies start destroying Omicron even before it becomes a serious threat. 

The expert said that the virus does not get enough opportunity to make a person seriously ill, but people who already have serious illness may have problems. Now Omicron is rapidly replacing Delta, patients are also increasing rapidly, but there is no need to fear, because the more people it spreads, the more people will get natural immunity. 

Experts say that the immunity created due to infection remains present in the body for a longer time than the immunity created by the vaccine. Because of this, the faster it spreads, the less its danger will be. This is the reason why so far the number of deaths from Omicron is much less compared to Delta. This variant will end the corona epidemic.

Animal rain and Sciences…..

You have heard heavy rain, ice cube rain, acid rain but have you ever heard animal rains like the fish frogs, crabs, etc… 

Yes. It happens many times that the animal comes from the sky like magic sometimes live or dead. The fish rain had observed in Texas, on the 4th of January of this month. People witnessed a sudden rain of fish in Texas, America, a strange incident has happened in America. In the east Texas city of Texarkana, a sudden storm was accompanied by a rain of fish. People were surprised by this. When they left their homes and went to the streets, they found fishes lying all around. It was later reported on the city's official Facebook page that it was no magic. This rare phenomenon is called 'Animal Rain' in science. 

[Image showing fish rain]

Animal rain means the fall of creatures from the sky. This rare phenomenon occurs when a tornado is formed in some part of the place like a pond or lake. In English, it is called water spouts. In this tornado, such a cyclone is formed which pulls the plants and small animals present in it along with the water. As the tornado grows stronger, it engulfs animals. After that, it moves towards the ground with the storm. When the storm weakens, the creatures present in the tornado start falling from the air to the ground. It seems as if it is raining creatures from the sky. 

The people of the city were shocked after this incident on Wednesday. When the rain stopped, they realized that fish were falling from the sky. Talking to The Texarkana Gazette newspaper; people said that most of the fish were 6 to 7 inches big. Their heads were broken, which shows that they had fallen from a great height. Some people took advantage of the opportunity and collected fish from the streets and took them home. 

Such incidents have been seen in the world even before the Animal Rain in Texarkana. In 1861, it rained fish for three consecutive days in Singapore. In addition, in 1794, the city of Lille in France saw a heavy rain of frogs.

Have a nice day...

Decoction increases immunity; but it is necessary to use the decoction in the right way and quantity.....

Herbal tea or decoction is considered one of the natural remedies to strengthen immunity. The use of the decoction helps in preventing the common cold, cold, and many other health problems. According to a study published in 2015 by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), herbal remedies like decoction strengthen the body's immune system, which can help the body fight off infectious viruses. 

Since the start of the coronavirus epidemic, the practice of drinking decoction has increased rapidly in the country to increase immunity. From the Ministry of AYUSH to the Ministry of Health, the use of decoction has been advised to strengthen the immune system during the epidemic, but many times health problems have also come to the fore due to excessive use of the decoction by the people. That is, it is necessary to use the decoction in the right way and quantity. And most importantly, take the decoction only after consulting a doctor. 

Although, decoction has been used in India for centuries, since the outbreak of the corona epidemic, especially during the last two years, the trend of using decoction as an immunity booster has increased rapidly among the people. Union Health Ministry Has also advised the use of decoction as part of immunity-boosting measures to protect against the Kovid-19 epidemic. 

A 'kadha' or herbal concoction is a mixture of herbs and spices. Ginger, lemon, turmeric, black pepper, carom seeds, giloy, cloves, cardamom, honey, and a pinch of salt are usually boiled in hot water to make the decoction. 

According to the government's guideline, "Drink herbal tea/decoction made from basil, cinnamon, black pepper, shunthi or dry ginger (dry ginger) and dry grapes once or twice a day." If needed, add jaggery and fresh lemon juice to it for taste. 

The use of the decoction is beneficial only if it is taken in the right quantity and with the right dosage. According to the Ministry of Health and Ministry of AYUSH, a healthy person should drink the decoction only once or twice a day. For this, it is right to take one cup or two cups (about 50 to 100 mL) of decoction in a day. 

For this, the substances mixed in the decoction should be boiled in 100 mL of water until it remains 50 mL. According to health experts, most of the mornings should avoid using the decoction on an empty stomach. The use of decoction is more beneficial for people suffering from phlegm because the risk of viral infection is also high in such persons. On the other hand, people with Vata and Pitta body types should avoid adding black pepper, cinnamon, and dry ginger to their decoction. It is considered better for such people to drink decoction in the evening. 

Although the decoction usually strengthens the immune system, if it is taken in excess or used more often then it can also have many side effects. During the second wave of corona in the country in April-May 2021, the craze of drinking decoction increased a lot. As a result, many people had health problems due to drinking too much decoction. Due to drinking excessive decoction, people had problems like indigestion, diarrhea, and anal fissure. These problems were seen in both types of people who were infected with Kovid and not infected with it. 

Health experts believe that excessive use of the decoction can cause problems like hyperacidity, burning, and pain in the stomach and intestines in the person. Drinking more decoction can also lead to problems like stomach ulcers or mouth ulcers. Actually, the material used in making the decoction produces a lot of heat in the body. Due to excessive use of the decoction, it affects the stomach and intestines, causing problems of indigestion, diarrhea, and gas, which gradually become anal fissures. 

Anal fissure An anal problem, which is a wound or tear in the thin, delicate lining of the anus. For the benefits of the decoction, it is necessary to use it in the right amount, but if your body is being harmed due to excessive use of the decoction, then its many side effects start appearing. Bleeding from the nose, ulcers in the mouth, excessive acidity, dyspepsia or dyspepsia, problems with urination. If you see any of these problems due to drinking the decoction, then stop drinking the decoction immediately and consult a doctor.

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...

Infection with Omicron may act as immunity booster – Expert says…

If a person gets infected with the new variant of corona i.e. Omicron, then he may get developed a fighting capacity 14 times more against corona. And, if a person has taken both doses of corona vaccine means fully vaccinated, then immunity will be double.

As we know that the cases of the new variant 'Omicron' of coronavirus are increasing rapidly all over the world. Researches are being carried out in many countries to cope with the coronavirus and its new variants. Recently, research has conducted by the Africa Health Research Institute on Omicron infected people, and the outcome was very much surprising. According to this, the body of people who have suffered from Omicron infection is more capable of fighting any variant of Covid. In this research trial, 15 vaccinated and unvaccinated people were included, who had been infected with the Omicron variant. 

Research has shown that after an Omicron infection, the body's ability to fight Omicron again increases by 14 times. At the same time, the fighting ability against the deadly Delta variant is increased by about 4.4 times. The immune response of vaccinated people has been seen well as those who did not take the vaccine. 

According to experts, if vaccinated people get Omicron infection, then, their immunity gets an even more boost, so it is very important to be fully vaccinated. Antibodies produced after Omicron infection can even prevent delta reinfection by means of that after having Omicron infection, the person becomes safer from future Covid infection. Although the sample size of this research is quite small, and more research is needed with larger samples, but the findings that have come out so far are interesting. 

As we know that both Omicron and Delta are variants of the coronavirus, both of which are made from different types of mutations. Both mutations have been described by WHO as Variant of Concern. As of now, it seems that the Omicron variant will replace the Delta variant in the coming few days. The main reason for this is that Omicron spreads many times faster than Delta, but data coming from South Africa and other countries suggest that Omicron causes only mild infection and hospitalization is also very low. 

Recent research has shown that if any person gets infected with Omicron, the antibodies produced from his or her body will give more strength to fight the Delta variant. But it is too early to conclude that the COVID pandemic will end with Omicron. A lot of research will be needed before we can reach any final conclusions now. But, how effective the vaccines prepared against Covid so far are for its variants, it is being tracked continuously. According to the current data, it appears that the vaccine against Omicron has not been as much effective as expected. So, it requires more study in this record to conclude but still, hope is there…..  

As per experts, it is very much clear from the data that has come from South Africa, the UK, and European countries that Omicron is not as dangerous as Delta was. This does not mean that people will not die at all from this. The number of deaths will be much less compared to the variants coming before it, Alpha or Delta. 

After the Omicron infection, the body's immunity against the corona will increase and the production of antibodies will increase. Omicron will give a new boost to the body's immune system. A 'defense in depth' mechanism works with B cells and T cells in our body, Let us hope…

Stay healthy, stay safe...

Oil massage Or oil application techniques to our body….

Have you ever heard many advertisements for oil massage and massage therapy in newspapers, T.V. even in mobile call spam calls, etc to nice talking and attracting the people as customers for oil massage? 

No one can deny, the oil massage is very good for health as it gives freshness, a stress-free mind, and an energetic environment to the body to perform well. But just applying oil in the body with sweet talk is enough? Some people may say yes. But the majority of people will be saying NO. Why? Because applying oil over the body is a technique and if it is applied correctly then, only it works otherwise it may harm too.  In Ayurvedic terminology, it is called as “Abhyanga Technique”.  Comfortable environment need for both the person who is taking Abhyanga and those who giving Abhyanga. 

It is well said that the Abhyanga should be performed on the floor, then one should feel comfortable squatting or sitting in Sddhasana/ Siddha yoni asana position. After the Abhyanga, both people should feel recharged. 


[Practitioner performing Abhyanga]

It is also to be noted that oil should not be cold when applied to the person’s skin. Or it will shock them preventing relaxation. Also, the practitioner’s hand should not be cold Rubbing the hands together will bring warmth and healing energy. Working the muscles relax and tones them, while working the bones strengthens the skeletal system. Duration is also important in abhyanga, for instance, 6 days to 6-month babies only 15 minutes; Infants (until 3 years) for 15-20 minutes; 03 to 18 years requires 30 - 45 minutes; 18 to 40 years person requires abhyanga for 40 – 45 minutes and 40 + years people need according to their health conditions. For a person with diseases, only 15-20 minutes is enough. 

In Ayurveda, there are four techniques have been suggested for Abhyanga. These re are –

1.   Tapping- It is introduced to inform the body it is about to receive abhyanga. It is increasing circulation and strengthens muscles. Tapping is done with open palms and relaxed fingers. 

2.   Kneading- It is done as if kneading dough. It increases the energy flow, relaxes, removes stress, and rejuvenates the body.

3.   Rubbing- It is best done with oil according to one's doshas. (Only Kapha can have a dry abhyanga). otherwise, dry rubbing creates friction and aggravates Vayu. Gentle rubbing is more relaxing, whereas vigorous rubbing creates passive exercise. Oil rubbed under the joints works the lymph system. Circular motion on specific points (marmas) releases growth hormones. Comfortable pressure will always be applied during abhyanga. Creating a rhythm is another important part of the rubbing technique. 

4.   Squeezing- It is the fourth phase of the abhyanga process. Both hands are used to squeeze all the areas that were rubbed using comfortable pressure. Cross movement (hands slide in the opposite directions) is also employed. Pressing special points (marmas) is also advised. Applying oil to the fingernails is the final stage in this process. Fingers are squeezed one at a time; this ensures that the oil seeps into the cracks between the nails and the cuticle. 

Some practitioners suggest that a healthy person can receive the circular portion of the abhyanga both clockwise and counterclockwise, while the person with an illness can receive only clockwise abhyanga. When the session of abhyanga is completed, it is advised that both practitioner and client lie in the corpse asana pose and rest for some time. After that sadhana (meditation) is recommended. Aum, the Gayatri mantra, personal mantra, or prayer may be used.  

Cautions: Oil application over the body must be done by trained health workers or experienced practitioners or otherwise it may worsen the condition of the health...

Is there any connection of human brain to physical growth and height?

Recently, scientists have come to know the real reason for the delay in the growth of human height and appearance like an adult at young ages. A team of international scientists has discovered the answer to what is the reason for the delay in human growth and appearance like an adult at young ages. 

According to the research, a special type of receptor present in the human brain is responsible for delaying growth as well as look adult appearances at small ages. This receptor controls those hormones in humans that play an important role in body height and sexual maturity. 

To find out the actual causes of the delayed growth or adult in young ages, combined efforts have been made by the scientist of  Cambridge University, Queen Mary University of London, Bristol University, the University of Michigan, and Vanderbilt University. 

Researchers say the melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) was found in the hypothalamic neurons part of the brain. This controls the height and sexual maturity. When this receptor does not work properly, then the height of the person does not increase properly and people remain short in height. Also, they are becoming adults late in their age. The team of international researchers involved 5 lakh people in the research. They were examined. The investigation revealed that out of thousands of people who had a change in the MC3R gene, 812 women were also involved. 

According to researcher Sir Stephen O-Rhiley of Cambridge University, the brain determines the height and sexual development of a person based on the nutrients that reach the body and the receptor. The results of the research will prove to be effective for those children in whom the height grows very late. Researchers believe the results of the research will prove beneficial for humans in many ways. This will give hope and in the future, such medicines can be prepared that will help this receptor to work better so that the length of the person does not stop and the person can become young with time. 

According to researchers, the average height of men in the US and UK is 5 feet 9 inches. At the same time, the average height of women in the UK is 5 feet 3 inches. The average height of American women is slightly higher than that of the UK. Here this figure is 5 feet 4 inches.

Bees also follow social distancing, so we have to learn from insects…

When there is an infection of the parasite in the hive, the bees start making distance from each other to prevent it. Like humans, bees also follow social distancing to avoid infection. When a parasite is infected in the hive, they start making distance from each other. This claim has been made in the research of University College London and Sassari University in Italy. 

[Honey bees on its hive]


Research says, when a parasite named Veroa reaches the hive, the bees start separating from each other. During the research, there was also a decrease in the cases of infection when this happened. According to researcher Dr. Alexandro Cini, the risk of spreading the virus also increases when the Veroa mite reaches the hive. This organism can spread five types of viruses in the hive which can destroy the entire colony of bees. Worldwide, this creature is known to destroy the colony of bees. 

To understand the danger that this creature spreads, the hives of different bees were also compared. Research says bees convince other bees by doing a special kind of dance to tell them where to eat.  To carry out this research, scientists conducted an experiment to find out social distancing in bees. Scientists artificially infected a group of 12 bees. The behavior of these bees was then compared with that of healthy bees. The report revealed that after infection, they start making distance. 

Best model to understand social distancing: In the research, it is observed that the transition starts from the edge of the hive as compared to the middle. Therefore, gradually making social distancing, the bees start going in the middle of the hive to avoid infection. Researcher Michelina Puseddu of Sassari University says, 'The colony of bees is a great example of understanding social distancing. Along with preventing disease, it also brings changes in their behavior.

If you wish to live a long healthy life, then include these things in your daily diet from today onward…

Nowadays everyone wants to live a long and healthy life. People face serious diseases at an early age due to their disturbed routine work style, so, at least we may take a good diet that should not harm our vital organs. The diet should consist mostly of vegetables, fruits and whole grains, healthy fats, and healthy proteins. Along with this, one should stay away from sweet drinks. Instead, make a habit of drinking more and more water. 

As we know that due to poor routine, lack of workout, improper diet, and stress, diseases like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. become common.  Every person should think about healthy and long life and have a happy every day. But, Should we really take care of our body by providing it healthy, normal, and hygienic food and whether we are doing a workout at least 5 days a week for one hour? 

The majority of answers will be NO. Then, how can we think about our good and healthy life? Whether our tongue is under control. Whether our mind not demanding unwanted things to dump inside the stomach and to give torture to other vital organs? The human body needs many vitamins and minerals to function properly. Healthy eating can help you live a long healthy lifestyle, but if you don't eat a well-balanced diet, it can have a negative impact on your physical and mental health. 

Nowadays we do not get the right amount or complete nutrition from the food, we eat every day. That's why there is a need for a diet plan so that you can get all the necessary nutrients. There are some common but useful tips to maintain our health well - 

1. Avoid more consumption of Sugar: Excess calories and blood sugar in the body increase the risk of obesity, cancer, diabetes, dental and liver diseases. Therefore, we should consume sugar in moderation. Apart from this, tea, coffee, chutney, ketchup, cake, cold drinks, etc. should also be consumed in limited quantities. Instead of juice fruits, you should eat fresh fruits. 

2. Consume more fruits and vegetables daily: Your diet should also include a good amount of fresh fruits and vegetables. Beans, peas, green leafy vegetables, and colorful vegetables must be eaten in vegetables. Apart from this, including pulses in the food. Beans are very good for health. They contain fiber, sodium, folates, vitamins, calcium, and other nutrients. Therefore, it is advisable to eat a bowl of beans in the morning. Along with minerals, there is a lot of copper, vitamin B6, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and vitamin K. Beans reduce cholesterol levels. It is a good source for heart patients.

3.  Minimize salt consumption: Sodium is very essential for our health but too much salt is believed to cause high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. This can lead to a loss of calcium, which can weaken your bones. As you age, the salt content in packaged foods can really take a toll on your health. 

4. Avoid alcoholic drinks: Excessive use of alcohol can cause so much damage to our liver that it is not possible to fix it. The liver performs many important functions such as multiple metabolisms, digestion, and removal of toxins from the body.

New variant spreads 70 times faster in the body than Delta, first attack on respiratory tract- a new research on Omicron….

A surprising research has come about the new variant of Corona, Omicron. Scientists from the University of Hong Kong have revealed that the Omicron variant spreads 70 times faster inside the body than the original form of the corona (SARS-CoV-2) and the delta variant. It reaches the lungs through the bronchi of humans. However, the risk of causing more lung damage from this is less than the previous variants. 

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong performed a study on Omicron patients. Research has found that Omicron attacks the human respiratory tract. This is the way to reach the lungs. Within just 24 hours, Omicron had rapidly multiplied here. It was 70 times faster than the original form of Corona and the Delta variant. 

Research has also shown that the Omicron variant does not cause much damage to the lungs. Its effect on the respiratory system is 10 times less than the other variants. This reduces the risk of getting serious diseases. According to Professor Michael Chan Chi-wai, even though Omicron is not very deadly, the speed of spreading its infection can disturb people. The danger of causing death due to this is not over yet. Michael says it could dodge existing vaccines. 

What are the symptoms of Omicron: Some of the symptoms of the Omicron variant identified in South Africa are similar to the original form of the corona. Patients complain of dry cough, itchy throat, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and fever. Also, the first symptom of Omicron is the absence of a smell and test. 

How to protect ourselves against Omicron: Experts around the world are emphasizing vaccination to fight corona. Even though Omicron is a new variant, the methods to protect against it are old. This includes wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, avoiding crowded places, maintaining good ventilation, and washing hands frequently.

New corona cases increasing in Europe and other parts of the world and outh Africa may get fourth wave -An expert review…

On November 24, the first case of Omicron was found and within 12 days it spread to more than 35 countries. With this, new cases of corona have started gaining momentum all over the world. In places like Europe, America, South Africa, and Russia, Corona has again gained momentum. In the midst of increasing cases, vaccination has been made mandatory for private companies in New York. At the same time, nightclubs have been closed in France. To the date, Omicron variant has spread more than 67 countries. 

Many countries of Europe are troubled by the increasing cases of Corona.  The average of new cases has become the highest in Europe. In the first 6 days of December, 21.62 lakh new cases have been found in Europe. Germany, France, Britain, Poland are among the countries where the maximum number of cases are coming. Corona infection is also found increasing rapidly in France. For the last 3 weeks, more than 32 thousand new cases are coming to France every day. In view of this, it has been decided to close the nightclub here for 4 weeks. Along with this, social distancing and wearing of masks have been made strict for school-going children. It is also being seen in France that a large number of youth are getting infected with Covid-19. 

South Africa is now in fear of the beginning of the fourth wave - There were 106 cases of corona infection in South Africa on 1 November. On December 1, this figure rose to 8,561. That is, in one month it jumped by 80%. On average, more than 10 thousand new cases are coming for the last two weeks. Omicron cases are also increasing 5 times faster in South Africa. Now out of the total tests, the report of every fourth test is coming positive. Till two weeks ago, only 2% of the people were coming positive. The fourth wave of the corona has started due to South Africa Omicron. 

In America, the average of new cases per week has become the highest in two months. On average, more than 1 lakh new cases are coming every day in a week since December 2. Earlier, so many cases were found in the first week of October. The Delta variant is behind most of the new cases in the US, but Omicron has also entered here. Cases of Omicron have been found in many states of America. In view of Christmas, strictness has been increased in America. In New York, the vaccine has been made mandatory for those working in private companies. Different states have issued different guidelines regarding social distancing. The situation in Russia is also worrying due to Corona. Unlike the rest of the countries, in Russia, along with new cases of the corona, deaths are also increasing. Corona cases had gained momentum since the beginning of October. At the beginning of November, the average of new cases had reached around 39 thousand.   Omicron has also entered Russia. 

In India, on December 6, there are 6,822 new cases of the corona were found in the country. It is a matter of relief that this is the lowest number of new cases in the last 558 days. At present, there are 95,014 active cases, which is the lowest in 554 days. So far, more than 20 cases of Omicron have been found in the country. The reason for the increase in cases in America and European countries is believed to be the negligence of the people during the festival season. Recently, it has been seen that millions of people have traveled from one place to another. Even on Christmas, if people behave in the same way, then the cases can increase further. The Delta variant is believed to be the reason behind the cases coming at the moment. Simultaneously, cold has started in America and European countries. Winters are very strong there, due to which people live in a closed environment. There usually flu also spreads more during the winter season. That's why cases are starting to gain momentum there. 

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has said that Omicron's infection rate is very fast and if necessary steps are not taken immediately, then a dangerous third wave can occur. Even though the strictness regarding social distancing has increased, but people are still negligent. People who returned from abroad have disappeared by giving the wrong address and mobile number to the authorities.  If such negligence continues in the country, then cases may increase in India too. At the same time, we also have to keep in mind that wherever cases are increasing, vaccinated people are also getting infections. That is, after taking both doses of the vaccine, you cannot move around without worry. Along with vaccination, it is also necessary to follow the Covid protocol to avoid corona.

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…

Omicron never taken lightly as it affect on person who had already fully vaccinated….

It has been come to know that the South African President Mr. Cyril Ramaphosa became corona positive on Sunday, however, he had taken both doses of the vaccine. The President's Office informed that he is undergoing treatment for mild symptoms. He will remain in self-isolation till he recovers. Until then, the responsibility of the President will be carried out by Vice President Mr. David Mabuza. Mr. Ramaphosa's felt sick after returning from an event in Cape Town, after which he has been kept under the supervision of doctors. Last month, the Omicron variant was first detected in South Africa. The whole world was shocked after the news of this variant being more contagious. 

Considering its seriousness, the UK raises virus alert levels as the Omicron cases are increasing in Britain, due to which the alert level of Corona has been increased from 3 to 4. This information has been given by the British Chief Medical Officers. In their statement, officials said the exposure of the Omicron variant poses a greater threat to the public and healthcare services. According to medical officials, preliminary results suggest that Omicron is spreading more rapidly than Delta and that the vaccine is unable to stop it. In such a situation, people should wear masks, get regular corona tests done, and stay in isolation if they show symptoms. 

The World Health Organization had also stated on Sunday that Omicron is more contagious than the delta variant of the coronavirus, and spreads rapidly. It also reduces the effectiveness of the vaccine. However, according to the initial data, its symptoms are not much visible to the patient. The delta variant of the corona is responsible for the new variant of the corona that has surfaced around the world. The WHO said that as of December 9, Omicron had spread to 63 countries. 

In India, 38 cases of Omicron have been reported.  On Sunday, 5 new cases were found in 5 states. The first case of Omicron was reported in Kochi, Kerala. Kerala Health Minister Veena George told that the infected person had returned to Kochi from the UK on 6 December. He was found positive in the Covid test conducted on 8 December. At the same time, the report of his wife and mother has come positive. All have been shifted to the isolation ward. Passengers sitting near the infected person in the plane have also been informed about this. At the same time, today the first case of Omicron has been confirmed in Nagpur, Maharashtra, and the third case in Karnataka. New Omicron infections have also been identified in Chandigarh and Andhra Pradesh. 

When it has been seen that the Omicron variant is spreading rapidly than the earlier detected variants of Covid-19 but there is a piece of relaxing news also creating hope in our mind that the new variant is unable to attack those persons who have taken precautionary measures such as wearing a proper mask, sanitizing their hands regularly and washing hand with soap at least 20 seconds on the regular interval of every 2 hours. The maintaining social distancing also works as a boon in the coming variant, so, please follow the protocol which was given for coronaviruses earlier until new medicines or vaccines or new protocol is announced.

A treding therapy for reducing stress and depression- Cow-minication - A specific report....

The cow has great importance in the life of human beings especially in India where cows have been worshiped as Mother and Hindus called her Go - Mata. In India, it has not only been treated as domestic animals but also has recognition as family members due to much-proven importance. Even in Hindu houses from dusk to dawn, cow and calves both have a great significant role along with regular and routine work. The male cow i.e. bull work in farming whereas cows are taken care of at home for their milk and other dairy products; I mean to say that in India, the importance of the cow has been known from ancient times. 
[Cow Cuddling Therapy]

It has been told that 33 types of God and Goddess have their dwelling places in the cow's body itself. So, worshiping a cow is equivalent to worshiping the entire Devi and devatas (Goddess and God).

In Western countries, the cow has been known for its milk and other dairy products including meat but In India, killing cows is illegal and a big offense because of their importance and recognition as Mother. But it has been seen that the other western countries are now recognizing the significances of the cows. Recently, it has been observed by the researchers that the cuddling or rubbing back of the cow is the best solution in Covid -19 pandemic as the cow has strong immunity and corona-like viruses can't harm the cow.

It has also been observed that Cow-cuddling is found as the best therapy to get rid of stress and depression-like life-threatening mental diseases. Nowadays a trending therapy for reducing stress and depression is on the peak in which a person has to go to Cow-shed or farmhouse to hug the cow or rub the back of the cow for that a cow owner has been paid a beautiful amount. 

It has been proved that hugging the cow reduces stress and depression. Scientists say that hugging to cow is better than meditation because it has a similar effect as we do for the medication. The reason behind that the cow's heart rate is slower than the human beings but the body temperature is more. When we do the medication, our heart rate is slowing and our body is warming and relaxing. In the case of the cow due to some emotional point of view, the hugging of the cows becomes more effective than the meditation done to reduce stress and depression.

In America, many dairy farm owners now provide cow-cuddling services and for that, they have been paid. It is told that for sadness, stress, and anxiety, the people are paying approximately Rs. 22000/- for the 90 minutes of cow-cuddling therapy. In Switzerland and Netherland the cow-cuddling fee is Rs. 3000/- for three hours and this cow-cuddling has been given a special name that is called Cow-Munication. 

As we know that if we put our head in our mother's lap, we are getting relaxed, the same feeling has been observed with cow-cuddling. In India Cow has been called Mother or Go Mata but the day is not far from now when the cow will be recommended as Jagat Mata (Mother of Universe).

At the same time, Britain's Health Protection Agency has claimed that a booster dose of Corona is 70 to 75% effective in eliminating mild symptoms of Omicron. 

According to the agency, this information has come to the fore in the initial study regarding the vaccine. Whose data show that a booster dose of the vaccine works up to 75% in mild patients suffering from the new variant. Scientists have recently done this research on 581 people affected by Omicron due to booster doses of AstraZeneca and Pfizer-BioNTech. 

Scientists say that the effect of the booster dose on Omicron patients was much less compared to the delta variant. The efficacy of the vaccine was found to be up to 90% in the delta variant. Although this is preliminary information, it is best that people who are eligible for a booster dose should get the vaccine. It has been revealed in the data that to some extent the booster dose reduces the risk of the new variant significantly.
