Third wave of COVID-19 in India:
And the Black fungus.
The nation's ability to deal with a crisis is totally dependent on the far sightedness of government and attitude of is citizens toward their responsibilities .India has weathered first phase of the battle quite well .We have ramped up our PPE kits production along with the production of mask and sanitizers and have acquired a ;leading position along the world producers .As a result these assets helped the country in second phase of COVID-19 with nearly zero shortage. But India lacked second wave just due to the poor crises management of government and irresponsible behavior of 140 crore citizens, these both legs of country has equally added fuel to the fire and added up a number of 3 lakh plus deaths.
The instantaneous rise in death tally is mostly due to the lack of oxygen, ICU beds, antiviral medicines, and proper awareness about crises in general public, the second wave is more hurting because of its increased contiguous nature of targeting youth or working section of society ,according to TOI the rate of infection of age group 30-40 year is alone 21%.Even through many challenges Huge global supports from various friendly countries including, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, USA, Russia, UK shows how effective Indian diplomacy have been last few years etc, Indian companies have proved themselves as the country savior, along with the huge donation in states, companies like Indian railways, Reliance, TATA, IN ox, SAI, and many private and public sector companies have worked day night to save India with supplying and producing oxygen in brimming capacity.
Where India lacked in handling second wave:
1. Fabian policy of state governments in installing oxygen plant sectioned by Central government.
2.lack of coordination between state and center government.
3.Illwill of local medicos and venders in black selling of live saving drugs.
4.Poor and incompetent health infra structure even after 70 years of independence.
5. Vaccination
Despite these challenge we are now on the way to recovery ,during second wave India reached its peak case in just 45 days on 6 may 2021 and as accepted positive count is falling down with the same speed as it roped up. GOI is working in full swing to eliminate third wave effects by early planning at district level, also approving installation 600+ liquid oxygenation plants from PM cares fund. Global orders of vaccine, increasing vaccine manufacturing capacity of India pharmacy giants etc.
Third wave:
India is progressing real quick towards with great hammer and tongs, experts predicting the possibilities of third wave ,said to be affecting children's. In a press briefing by the Ministry of Health Affairs , officials said the long COVID-19 wave of such "ferocity" that the country was experiencing currently "was not predicted". "Phase three is inevitable given the higher levels of circulating virus, but it is not clear on what time-scale this phase three will occur. We should be prepared for new waves "Cautioned by Principal Scientific Adviser K Vijay Raghavan.
In this high and dry situation a new name is added to the list is BLACK FUNGUS. GOI of India has notified it as a epidemic. The black fungus(Mucormycosis) has wildly affecting Indian state of Gujarat ,Rajasthan, Haryana etc.
Mucormycosis is a very rare infection. It is triggered by exposure to mucor mould which is commonly found in soil, plants, manure, and decaying fruits and vegetables. "It is common and found in soil and air and even in the nose and mucus of healthy people,"
It affects the sinuses in nose, the brain and the lungs and can be life-threatening in diabetic or severely immunity compromised individuals, such as cancer patients also people with HIV/AIDS patients .
Doctors believe mucormycosis, which has an concerning overall mortality rate of 50%, may be being triggered by the use of steroids, a life-saving treatment for severe and critically ill Covid-19 patients.
Steroids reduce inflammation in the lungs for Covid-19 by suppressing immune response of the body and appear to help stop some of the damage that can happen when the body's immune system goes into overdrive to fight off coronavirus. But they also reduce immunity and push up blood sugar levels in both diabetics and non-diabetic Covid-19 patients.
It's thought that this drop in immunity of our body could be triggering these cases of mucormycosis as such known by the sturdies.
Most of the states are considering black fungus as the first step of Third wave of corona virus, and acting along the guidelines of central government.
