T.R.Malthus in his ‘An Essay on the Principle of Population ‘well explained the repercussion of increase in population 222 years ago in 1798(source-Web).The population increases in geometric progression and the food and consumables in arithmatic progression.If the population growth would not be checked,the nature tries to check it by natural calamities.Our era is witnessing many such calamities periodically.The most recent of which is Covid-19.
Entire world is facing the menace and media has only one burning topic CORONA
😎
A tiny organism that is obligate parasitic mode of nutrition made of nucleic acid and protein envelop has affected the biggest economy of world.The best way is to break the chain of transmission by not getting infected and by not infecting others.
Till the invention of new antivirus/vaccine against Novel Corona the humanity has following best options which is widely publicised in IEC materials:
1.Wearing nose mask to prevent droplet infection.
2.Clean /Sanitise your hands
3.Maintain social distance of more than Six Feet
We should take care of our fomites contamination also.Suppose you are wearing nose mask and periodically washing your hands.If any person carrying Corona Infection, Sneezes and contaminates your clothing or any article like your cellphone,laptop,book etc.Still you can carry the virus with you to your home and virus can infect you or your family members.Since virus outside the body is just a non living chemical.It can stay depending on environmental condition as such.So utmost care is needed while bringing any article in home.Whenever you go outside try to limit your exposure by social distancing and try to change your costume after going out and wash them in hotwater with some antiseptics.Whenever you see any person unknown,take universal precaution to protect yourselves.There is a chance of asymptomatic carrier of CORONA may infect you.That is why government has imposed lockdown to break the chain of transmission.
The lesson the world is learning about the hygiene after paying too much for CORONA.This reminds me about Cholera which is referred as father of Public Health.Diseases teach the world.This is called reactive learning.Japan excels in proactive learning.It does not require lockdown,since hygenic manners are interwoven in their culture.We will have to learn, though reactively after paying the price.
