How to Secure your self from COVID 19

The world has been experiencing a surge in the pandemic, and we are living through it. It is estimated that the virus may have originated from the Chinese market. We are seeing doctors, nurses, and other health care workers dying from this outbreak. Many countries across Europe have also reported their numbers of cases as rising. One country that has seen a rise in its cases is India. There have more than 1,000 confirmed deaths from coronavirus. India’s death toll stands at over 6,000 deaths. There are more than 24 million confirmed COVID19 infections worldwide. This is not only a growing number but also an alarming one.

In some parts of the world, the spread of COVID19 is more severe than others. In addition to more than 100 countries reporting a spike in cases, there have been reports of people who are dead in China after contracting the virus. There have been concerns about people becoming ill from symptoms like difficulty breathing or shortness of breath for those who are infected with the virus. A separate case report from South Korea also revealed what many consider signs of being infected with the virus. People who had a temperature above 41°F and were found to be tested positive for COVID-19 were said to have exhibited “moderate or severe acute respiratory syndrome” (MERS) symptoms and to have been hospitalized.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that anyone who develops symptoms of COVID-19 should immediately go to the nearest hospital or clinic and immediately get tested. However, people may try to avoid testing at all costs for fear of exposure. If you or someone in your family or your community shows any of these symptoms, please put yourself in danger and go to your local healthcare provider for immediate help and treatment. All individuals experiencing serious symptoms should be admitted into a facility or transferred to hospitals as soon as possible if deemed necessary by physicians. They should be prepared to continue working while they fight this disease which will be no easy feat.

Another thing that I want everyone to understand is that even though the vaccine is available, it does not eliminate the risk of infection. Before taking the shots, people should get vaccinated and follow the basic guidelines set out by the CDC which includes wearing masks throughout the day and washing your hands before and after vaccination. Once you got the shot, take two weeks off after getting the second dose, as recommended by the CDC.

There is no longer any need in staying inside and waiting for the day you get sick from getting the virus. There is now a plethora of resources available for medical professionals across the world that specialize in treating COVID19. These professionals provide critical information like how to protect oneself against the virus and other things to stay healthy during this time. There are lots of new studies on how important contact tracing and isolation is during this outbreak; check them out here for more information on how you can keep yourself safe and healthy.

COVID-19 is known to have caused thousands of deaths around the globe. The first person recovered from this infection was Japanese military pilot Captain Jang Hyok Jin who flew to Nuremberg after he fell seriously ill with fever and cough for several days and months. His recovery came within 48 hours after he tested positive. After his recovery, he went back to Japan’s embassy in U.S., and later to Taiwan where he still continues to serve his country with distinction. He went back to Japan to recover fully where he spent the rest of his life until his death on April 23, 2020. I would like to once again note here that health experts have raised alarm bells since the beginning of the pandemic which is primarily responsible for the rising cases. As mentioned earlier, doctors, nurses, and other workers have faced increased cases of the virus. It is important that health care professionals have the right knowledge on how to treat the patients who are suffering and to ensure that they get the proper medicines during the initial stages of the diagnosis. Healthcare workers must know how the illness spreads so that they can identify anyone who might be contagious and advise them on how to prevent further spread. Vaccination is another way in which healthcare professionals can save lives and minimize the spreading of this deadly disease. Health practitioners are providing vaccinations at clinics and nursing homes across America and around the world.

While all these efforts and precautions may seem daunting, I encourage everyone to do everything to keep themselves safe and healthy as much as possible. My biggest takeaway from this entire experience is that we can reduce the spread of this infection. With effective mitigation efforts, people can come together to flatten the curve and hopefully stop the spread of this epidemic once and for all. This will certainly require continued vigilance and constant communication between healthcare facilities across America and across the world.
