SANITY MUST PREVAIL IN HANDLING THE COVID PANDEMIC

The World is looking at us. We have the centre-stage. Its time to Shine!

    As we enter the third wave of the pandemic, we should not forget our experiences and lessons learnt from the first two waves. Rule No.1 in handling most stressful situations is "DO NOT PANIC". The clarity in thought must be there and all steps must be taken consciously after much forethought. 

    Lets look at the facts straight, shall we? Its a flu virus (one of the many) which has mutated/evolved and has spread globally. In 90% cases, it is presenting as asymptotic/mild or moderate disease. The overall mortality from the Infection is less than 2% (Total Cases Worldwide - 30.5 Crores, Deaths - 54.8 Lakhs). The worst thing the Infection can do is kill us. Loss of every life is painful - both for the healthcare professional as well as for the near and dear ones. No doubt the measures to contain the spread should be there, but if we accept this mortality rate and get on with our businesses,  our life can be much simpler. With this mortality rate in picture, the human race will continue to exist for hundred years and much more. But the same cannot be said for "CLIMATE CHANGE" which I am sure is a bigger emergency and larger threat to human existence.

    In trying to control this pandemic, the economy and trade is getting affected which can have worse consequences. Economic depression can give rise to another pandemic affecting mental health. There can me numerous cases of anxiety, depression, psychosis,  suicides, homicides and criminal offences. We do not want that to occur, do we? Medical conditions of patients other than COVID are not attended-to well because COVID is taking the centre of attention in healthcare settings. 

    Before the onset of this pandemic, India was well on its path of economic progression and prosperity. And there are signs that the national economy is still fighting and growing. However, the way the world is handling this natural (?) calamity, it is putting brakes on growth in various spheres of mankind. 

    Our country has handled the pandemic very well and I am sure will continue to do better in future. High vaccination rate, low mortality rate and other figures are there for everyone to see. At many points, we are much better than our global counterparts. How we manage the situation in this third wave, should set an example for others to follow. So, its time we take conscious, thoughtful, careful and useful measures.

Bhubaneswar (Odisha Trip) - Weekend Getaway

               A less explored place in eastern India is the capital city of Bhubaneswar. People mainly throng Odisha to visit Jagannath Temple in Puri.
