Stay cautious in winter; Health services may break through 'double epidemic'

The double threat of COVID-19 and seasonal flu in winter

AUG 17 (WTN) - Coronavirus infection disease (COVID-19), spread from Wuhan city of China, is the biggest challenge facing human civilization at this time. You can imagine the magnitude of this pandemic by the fact that by the time this article is written, about 7,73,085 people have died from the Coronavirus epidemic. At the same time, no authentic vaccine of Coronavirus infection disease has not been completed, which has completed all the stages of clinical trials. However, Russia claims to have made a successful and safe vaccine of Coronavirus infection; however, many countries in the world, including the WHO, do not believe this claim of Russia at present.

At the same time, now, since the cases of Coronavirus infection are increasing rapidly around the world, scientists have warned about the apphensivemess of a 'double epidemic' situation in the coming winter. Indeed, according to scientists, COVID-19, as well as, seasonal flu can spread badly in the coming winter. And, therefore, scientists are calling it a 'double epidemic'.

In fact, scientists are concerned that seasonal flu is a common disease in the winter season, and most hospitals are full of patients at this time. But, since this year hospitals are already full of COVID-19 patients, in such a situation, there is apprehension that if the hospital is filled with the patients of COVID-19, where will the patients of seasonal flu be admitted?

At the same time, scientists are worried that the initial symptoms of COVID-19 and seasonal flu are also almost the same. So, when there is an increase in patients in hospitals, a situation of confusion will be created before the doctors. Here, in the US and many European countries, people were given 'flu shots' to avoid seasonal flu. However, due to COVID-19, it has not been possible to give a 'flu shot' this year. Now, if this happens, the number of flu patients is expected to increase rapidly. At the same time, the risk of getting infected by Coronavirus infection for the flu-prone patient will also increase significantly.

Now, since scientists from all over the world are very concerned about this 'double pandemic', they are putting a lot of emphasis on the 'flu shot'. For this reason, the large companies of the US, the UK, Australia, and other European countries are being asked to campaign for giving 'flu shots' and at least to provide flu shots to their employees. Actually, giving flu shot can relieve people from the risk of one of the two respiratory diseases at the same time.

Let you know that it is estimated that about 39 million to 56 million cases of seasonal flu can be reported in America this year. At the same time, about 7 lakh 40 thousand people may need to be admitted to the hospital due to this reason, and up to 62 thousand deaths from seasonal flu can also occur. However, in the US, there is a vaccination for children in nursery school, but this time, there is no vaccination due to the closure of the school. Here, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has started a campaign for a flu shot in view of the ensuing predicament. At the same time, Australia also started the 'flu shot' campaign in many areas of the country in April itself.

Well, now, since the cases of Coronavirus infection are increasing rapidly, and flu cases are also expected to increase rapidly in winter, time is needed to take full care of yourself. At the same time, wear masks and follow social distancing while exiting the house. Not only this, but also through the advice of a doctor, increase your own immunity through Yoga, Pranayama, and Ayurveda. Also, keep in direct contact with sunlight for at least 20 minutes to supply vitamin-D to the body.
