This Diwali we maybe excited to light up every street, wear our best clothes, eat delicious sweets, but are we ready for possible 2nd wave of covid 19?

Diwali is the festival where numerous people burst firecrackers all around our country.

After bursting, it causes an ongoing debate of every year called air pollution.The air pollutants carrying toxic substances, hang around in the air for hours and days.

They enter inside our respiratory tract causing coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, asthma attack and heart attack.

Not only it pollutes the air, these toxic particles and waste of firecrackers enter the soil, transferring harmful substances and eventually Spoiling the soil.

Then how could covid 19 is involve with this Diwali?

How???

We maybe getting used to this pandemic but don’t forget, lockdown is over, but not covid 19.

Covid 19 is still out there

This virus can only be spread through direct contact of droplets from infected person. If these droplets get in touch with air pollutants hanging in the air, it may cause the spread of coronavirus. Specially for those dealing with heart and lung problems, air pollutants carrying coronavirus would be harmful for them.


We all want to celebrate Diwali normally like every other year, but this time is different. This doesn’t mean we should stop celebrating the festival; It means this Diwali we have to be more careful and keep following the safety guidelines such as wearing mask and washing our hands properly.

Stay safe and have a safe Diwali!

COVID 19 Truth & Lies

Malsawm

Hello readers! This pandemic situation is the worldwide most trending topic than any keeping up with Kardashian updates or any TikTok videos you maybe creating right now. No offense, but apparently COVID 19 news is the only common notification blinking in yours and Christiano Ronaldo’s phone.

In this era of light-speed communication, we are linked to one another, even though we are staying indoors has been strongly proved. This has a positive as well as a negative impact on our society.

Apparently social media has become the source of FAKE NEWS spreader, which is why instead of living under the rock we better try to search a reliable source such as, who.int, cdc.gov and don’t just depend on your “WHATSAPP” Forwarded and shared messages.

Here are some of  the facts which needed to be cleared:

1.Use of sanitizer:

CDC (center for disease control and prevention) have recommended washing your hands with soap and water wherever possible. Why? Because it removes all types of germs( bacteria, viruses, fungi), then what about sanitizer? They do remove the germs but NOT ALL TYPE OF GERMS but if you use it properly, it does work. So try to use soap and water as much as possible otherwise if not available, use sanitizer.

Another important point is that sanitizers are poisonous for consumption therefore, let it dry after rubbing it into your hand.

2. Symptoms of COVID 19: this virus is affecting different people in different ways. Some people do show the symptoms and some do not. This means even if they don’t have a fever or cough and sore throat, they might be coronavirus positive. Therefore we are all suggested to maintain the social distance of 6 ft apart.

3. Arogyasetu app: this app was created to determine the risk of one has been near the coronavirus infected person, with the help of your GPS and Bluetooth but don’t get confused about the fact that they don’t detect the virus-positive person. They can only inform you about the person who has registered himself/herself in the app by scanning the database. For the detection of a virus-infected person, they have to go through multiple tests.

4. Cure: there’s been much circulation of messages about using this and that in this amount can kill the virus is all FALSE! WRONG ❌. There is no cure for the virus infection till now. Don’t worry, many talented scientists are working on it. But Yes, there are some tips useful for boosting your immune system such as drinking ginger mix with lukewarm water. Remember, they don’t kill the virus, it’s not a cure, it’s prevention.

So please try to follow all the guidelines properly and educate others for their safety.

If there are any other facts that needed to be cleared, please let me know in the comments section.
