What symptoms should you look out for?
Symptoms of corona virus infection include fever, cough and difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. Shortness of breadth may also occur due to various other medical conditions Eg: Anxiety, Heart Disease, TB etc. Thus if you have fever + cough + sore throat and resultant shortness of breadth, you need to think over and consult your doctor. The illness causes lung lesions and pneumonia. But milder cases may resemble the flu or a bad cold, making detection difficult.
Patients may exhibit other symptoms, such as gastrointestinal problems or diarrhea. Current estimates suggest that symptoms may appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days after being exposed to the virus.
If you have a fever or a cough, recent trip to other countries who are affected by corona virus outbreak, visited China, South Korea, Italy or another place or spent time with someone who did travel to these countries, see your health care provider immediately. The best thing in interest of the society is to first telecall your doctor, so that his office can prepare for your visit and take steps to protect other patients and staff from potential exposure.
Lastly.....our central and state government is doing an excellent job on war footing. They are using the learnings from countries of Italy and France which has made the action plan clear and precise. Now its our job to implement and support the decision and just follow the plan without putting our extra brains to it.
We just read somewhere "Its not the illiteracy thats killing the country, its the overconfidence & stupidity of some of the literates that is putting us in problems every now and then.
Those who are not infected yet:
Stay home...Stay calm.....Stay away from the virus
