STRANGE FACTS ABOUT COVID 19 - Part V


............. Contd from Part IV

Over 1,23,77,166 people with confirmed Covid 19 have successfully recovered as on 7th of August.

The majority of patients (over 80%) do not need medical assistance at all. They treat themselves at home, with the help of ordinary flu, and usually recover in about a week. (Subsequent to this statement a group of scientists from Germany have found that patients who have recovered from Covid 19 have developed problems in their hearts in about two months from recovery)

Approximately one in five or six cases require for hospitalization, this is true mainly for the elderly and/or those with chronic diseases.

In heavy cases (4%), the patients need lung  ventilation - i.e. to get connected to a ventilator. The ventilation apparatus may not be enough if there are too many sick people. Some car companies have switched to the production of ventilators.

This is one of the main causes for high mortality in Italy. There are a lot of elderly patients, the peak load on hospitals and, as a result, the emaciation of medical staff and lack of equipment.


A remedy tried is lopinavir, which is commonly used to treat HIV patients,  and remdesivir, originally developed to treat Ebola and Marburg virus. So far, both have been tested.

The other encouraging discovery is the antiviral drug, Avigan (Favipiravir), a popular anti-flu medicine in Japan.

Sneezing is not a symptom of coronavirus. Coughing - yes.

SARS-CoV-2 continues mutating. From December to March, some varients of the virus managed to change the genome 14 times.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
