Covid note

This note explains Covid onset in very understandable context. It doesn't have a medical advise but is useful in understanding as to why we should be mindful of all the symptoms. 


Covid infection spreads exponentially in the body. So the first week, usually people show mild symptoms. This is because infection is still incubating in your body. It is the most crucial time to take action.


If not treated in first week, the infection gradually spreads to the lungs and this is where the things get difficult. This leads to sudden drop in oxygen, extreme weakness, and probably need for hospitalization.


Because of higher immunity in youngsters, they have strong capacity to hold back, thereby showing altogether no symptoms in first week.This leads to a belief that body is working absolutely normal.However the virus enjoys this time to grow. 


By the second week, the virus has grown and even the best immunity cannot fight it anymore. This leads to body suddenly collapsing and urgent need for medical attention.


The symptoms are very strong because virus has grown beyond. Youngsters with weak immunity show symptoms since early days, leading to quicker testing and early beginning of medication. That stops the viral growth.


For most youngsters, their immunity tries best to protect them but lack of visible symptoms lead to unwanted delay. This delay is the reason for most hospitalizations and longer treatment requirements, sometimes even leading to fatal cases.


What can you do to protect yourself from this? Get tested at the very first symptom. Do not delay.In early days while virus is still incubating, the RTPCR might turn out to be negative. Hence also get a blood test done - specially CRP, D-Dimers along with CBC.


This will give your doctor an indication on the possibility and the spread.Earliest symptoms might include headache, diaorrhea, feeling of fever, weakness, etc. Keep close monitoring of oxygen levels, coughing frequency, temperature and pulse.

Remember - Time is critical. You might be the healthiest person with best of immunity, but if you let the virus grow, it might lead to trouble a few days later. Also unknowingly, you might have spread the virus to a many by then.

Give reasons to smile :-)

Everyone in his life has a wrap of worries and concerns, Someone is worried for his career, someone has a family related issue, lot many are strucked in business, few are just too busy with the tension of studies, a lot many are busy with the tensions in friendship and amongst the friends... In my opinion, giving others a reason to worry is an easy task, it takes just fw minutes to hurt anyone, slap him, hit him, say him something undesired, it'll solve the purpose... but for spreading smiles something extra needs to be done.. it is difficult to manage tears than to bring them from someone's eyes. its too difficult to make others laugh from the heart... Looking at few of my peers ( not my close ones frm instt) , i find ppl changin for their parents, why do we tend to forget them ? when we grow? , why our friends become more important in a way tht they take a pie from the share of our moms and dads.. how many times do we think before saying a lie to our moms and dads. Hw do we ...

Pick out any news paper of today, i guess we have around 65000 newspapers that are registered.... The headline for today is Financial CRISIS... Our country is being affected by the global crisis, that have started from US's sub prime loan issues...  Well , its no surprise , if u look at the following few points.. you'll get an idea on the reasons: Most of our exports in the US, if they go down,we need to bear We have ample of foreign reserves in dollars, any change in their economy has a direct impact on ours. Many of our financial institutions have a connection with the investment bankers of US and  Europe, The prob of foreign exposure can be seen. Our Indian Stock market is very sensitive to information and sentiments, we are just followin the trend. The US is slowing down significantly and the US investors are at risk. That is something, which is a serious problem. If you look at market behavior, over the last 10-15 years, whenever the Fed cut rates, it has normally been goo...

Being there to somewhere.. Life Surprises(4)

PART 4 Related Parts:  PART 10   PART 9  PART 8  PART 7  PART 6   PART 5   PART 4   PART 3   PART 2   PART 1 With the post-graduation stepping into my life, the fear of being grown up kept rolling my mind. The exams and pattern of studies, although, had no fundamental change, but the pressure of higher studies had a superior space. Not that studies changed, neither were we getting scanned in the rule of autocratic professors, my mind had an urgency, an urge to just get into earning mode. The thought was to get whopping first salary of 2.26 lacs pm and do away with education loan :-) (Obviously Reliance Adag's campaign induced me to think bigger and better).
