I, Family, Society and Corona

Corona
Social Distance ?

You are fearful about something ? or must take care from something that alerts you more frequently. Overconfidence or negligence costs more. Precise understanding of surrounding or various media words, a summary of your body nature and its immunity give you relief and early recovery in the light of the Corona pandemic. Nations went through these phases and predicting new waves.

At this juncture, we are a mix of three kinds of people, one affected with Corona, affected indirectly and not affected. Again who recovered from the Corona can be grouped in three ways.

  1. From Home Quarantine
  2. General treatment at Hospital
  3. Hospitalized with serious conditions 

Few lost their lives in all the three cases, many reasons to say. Precautions may not guarantee complete protection from Corona, but they are must practice.

One observation on homeless or street beggars they are not having minimum safety measures, not wearing mask, no hand sanitization nor healthy food, less affected with Corona reasons might be their body and mental capabilities gained from their circumstances.

Doctors do not have the specific medicine to cure Corona, few spent much for treatment to get cure critical health issues results of Covid-19. It got cured even before the people realized in few cases. 

Diseases too exhibit discrimination other than caste, creed or religion, but in terms of your body nature, immunity and mental strength are the factors to attack you.

Personal experience - Corona

My family members got Corona beginning of the month -May 21 and I too experienced Corona in the same period. In this case would like to share my experiences, impact on the body and its precautions to be taken to get cured.

In addition to this, I made phone calls to other corona patients, in friends and other people in my network to understand more about their issues with Covid-19 and aware them necessary actions without anxiety.

  • Many feel that everyone will have similar kinds of symptoms when they have infected with Corona virus. We are four with different ages,  40-, 30+ with pregnancy, 60+ and 75. One quick observation was women got recovered quickly.
  • Can say common symptoms fever and dry cough. Muscle or body aches, headaches and others are not common with similar severity that depends on your body nature and immune system.
  • Who took safe care at home when they realize their body symptoms because of Corona without anxiety had recovered  quickly. Some existing diseases in the body hand shook with Covid-19 had degraded the patient’s health conditions to next level.
  • Few not alerted with Corona, continuously with negligence before and with Corona have experienced critical conditions and recovered after hospitalization. Few with the overconfidence of their internal strength and aggressiveness met with the final breath. Must have care and precautions in all the cases.
  • We all cured at home with safety measures and taken necessary medicine on time. Some moment my father’s (75 years) pulse rate went down to 83, he had experienced a severe breathing problem. We have taken guidance from the homoeopathic doctor to increase pulse rate and solve breathing issues. Homoeo medicines helped lot and my father got recovered with in hours from breathing problem and Oxygen levels increased to 90+.
  • Some people are reluctant or shy to say their actual issues when they infected with Corona, hiding health issues and not revealing to family members or right one, did not get proper medication when they were at home quarantine.
  • Loneliness is more likely to kill people minds when they are in trouble. Words with others virtually may divert mental state also chance of getting suggestions and mental relief. Do not engage with people with a negative mindset or overconfident.
WHO
  • Self-motivation, your boldness will not disturb you from fake news. Patients should have to take protein food like dry fruits, meat and eggs. Taking proper rest will boost your body immunity and also reduces oxygen demand.
  • Your fear or anxiety demands more oxygen when the body will not produce more pulse rate. A mix of your mindset, positivity, proper rest and general medication helps to stabilize your body state.
  • Light breathing exercises and steam therapy will help lungs activity but one or two times recommended in a day. Morning simple walk under sun light activates your body helps to produce D vitamin.
  • There are chances of acidic issues while consuming medicines for some time or with C vitamin tabs. A natural remedy to acidic issue is to drink lemon tea regularly with a ginger mix.
  • The regular and most important practice is drinking a good amount of water. When infected with Corona your body dehydrates very frequently to ensure that you are consuming enough water. Having semi hot water helps more to remove toxins from the body while sweating. This practice also helps to gain the state of the body before Corona.

Those who are recovered from corona facing one or more health issues like weakness, not able to walk some distance, breathing issues, few people attached with diabetic problems and more. It takes few weeks to month to gain previous health state. Apart from health conditions, Corona brought financial issues, bad family conditions and few left with emotions.

Vaccination gives you one level of protection, body nature, precautions and necessity are the other crucial factors to face any disease.
