When the fear of being infected with corona

 When the fear of being infected with corona

We notice that now many people in the country are going to the office-court, doing market-dealing, not everyone is following the hygiene rules. The crowd on the bus is not less. But not all of them are infected with the corona virus. Some are not easily infected.

From this incident we should not think that since not everyone is being attacked, then why need too much caution. Thinking like this can lead to serious consequences. Instead, we have to think about why no one cares. That's right- this is a coronary heart disease. But how many are there? Not too much. Again, it is true that many people already have T-cells in their body or someone has a higher immunity. Even if they are caught in the corona, the symptoms are less. He recovered after a slight fever and cough. But there must be widespread fear of infection in the general population.

So why isn't everyone getting infected every day? This is because those who spend more time in untimely, risky places have a higher risk of infection, others less. Like you went to the market. There are more crowds. Many do not have a mask on their face. Has been shopping for quite some time. You didn't wear a mask either. Then your risk of getting infected is much higher.

There has been a lot of research on this subject. It has been found that most infected people cannot spread the virus. Perhaps most of the infected people are voluntarily quarantined or hospitalized, reducing the fear of direct person-to-person transmission. But when an infected person appears in the wrong place, at the wrong time, there is an opportunity to spread the disease. I have said in the above paragraph about this wrong ‘time’ and wrong ‘place’. Then those who have the slightest signs of corona, it is their duty to avoid these wrong places and wrong times. And others also need to avoid crowds and adhere to hygiene rules. Then it is possible to reduce the infection. Of course, there is still some risk of infection. Because, there are people without symptoms of corona. There is a risk of spreading the disease through them.

A detailed article on these issues was published in the New York Times on August 8. There is one of the main research team. Joshua Schiffer explains this. He is a physician and mathematical modeling expert and researches infectious diseases at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

Spacious open space versus glass-enclosed rooms

There is less fear of virus infection in open places where there is plenty of light and air. However, in open space hygiene rules must be followed. In contrast, doors and windows are closed, and the virus can easily spread to glass-enclosed offices or supershops. The issue was also seen during the pneumonia epidemic 100 years ago. At that time, many schoolchildren in Spain did not take classes in closed rooms but in open spaces.

We also have to think about it. Following the modern day architecture, the offices and supershops in the big cities of the country run on a centrally controlled AC system surrounded by glass. Hundreds of people work on each floor. They breathe in and out of the room. The risk of an employee working 8 to 10 hours is much higher here. So we need to think anew. It doesn't work without AC in extreme heat, that's right. So it is better to ventilate the outside air at least a few times a day for at least half an hour. Then the risk of virus infection can be greatly reduced.

The majesty of the mask

The mortality rate for coronavirus in the country has remained at almost the same level as the total infection so far for several weeks. However, the infection rate fluctuates between 20 and 24 percent and the death toll fluctuates between 20 and 40 percent compared to daily sample tests. It is also a matter of seeing where the fear of the last blow after Eid will end. However, it is true that the total mortality rate in the country is now 1.32 percent of the total infection, while the death rate is 3.62 percent of the total infection in the world (as of 14 August 2020). It is true that our mortality rate is still lower than in the world. But this does not mean that our risk is low; On the contrary, even a few days ago, the death rate in our country was even lower. Now it has increased. So now is the time to be careful.

But we see that the people of the country are not following the hygiene rules in many cases. As if to assume, the situation is under control. But the bitter reality is that the risk has not decreased, but increased. If we do not understand this, the spread of the virus will spiral out of control. Then all the countrymen will be in extreme crisis.

Although the government makes it compulsory to wear a mask, very few people comply. A kind of indifference or lack of awareness. But it brings danger not only to oneself, but to ten more. Many of us are indifferent about the use of masks. Have you ever wondered, if two people without a mask talk face to face, sneeze and cough, then the risk of infection is about 90 percent. And if both of them have masks on their faces and walk about six feet away, the infection rate is almost zero! If we keep this formula in mind, we, our country and our economy will be better.
