Covid-19 is deadly, although fatality rates skyrocket for the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), continues to spread around the world and in the United States. Many countries are asking people to stay home and self-quarantine. The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially called the disease a pandemic—a disease outbreak occurring over a wide geographic area and affecting an exceptionally high proportion of the population. The United States has declared the pandemic a national emergency, and states throughout the country are taking major measures to slow the spread of the disease.
Information – Be prepared by absorbing as much information as you can. Learn from China Italy and America.
Problem –
What’s the real problem here, mortality rate?
No. Mortality rate is not problem but it’s the possibility of healthcare collapse due to too many cases at the same time. If you can avoid that, then you’re really fine, because the rate of survival of people with no pre-existing conditions who end up in intensive care should be decent. Recovery is slow, though, and that’s why available reception capacity is so vital.
Government and Authority
This is Emergency so even if you didn’t vote for them or like them ,but right now learn to trust the government if they’re taking action. It’s not because they’re more intelligent or more prepared than you, certainly, but they are the only people with access to all of the available information and data. Knowledge is power, now more than ever. We are able to evaluate and predict the effect of the measures, so there’s a reason they’ve been taken. Try to set aside political differences as much as possible right now. They’re of no help whatsoever. There will be plenty of time to assign blame if you wish, but this is an emergency.
Do not force the government to take excessive actions, they may overreact and we want to avoid it.
Quarantine
This is not end of the world.Home Quarantine is best way to break exponential growth and slow down infection from spreading.It is required each and every single individual to act against this war like situation.
Chaos
Don’t create panic to collect food material or stocking more as India is 130 crore population country.act like responsible citizen.Do not buy too many food products either. Again, we need to act as a whole and there are some people who really need it and can’t run out. Again, supply will come, although more slowly.
Lifestyle change
There are few do and don’t so in quarantine that you need to change your lifestyle for a bit. Tourists,Student get back to your home or to family.
The quarantine can also create a strange sense of community. people will random acts from their balconies, complete strangers talking from their windows, more acts of solidarity that tons of signs comforting one another with “it will be okay”. People are coming together, and even if someone fakes it, it FEELS real.
