Thread: Covid19 is an infectious disease indeed! However, media stoking unnecessary fear.

Fact is when you are outside environment and everyone wearing a mask the infection percentage is negligible. Infact, jogging, going to parks, sitting in open should be encouraged. Ofcourse maintain social distance and wear a mask always.

80% people are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic do not require any medication. Only 5% need hospitalization, require oxygen.

People who are mildly symptomatic should be allowed to recover at home and should not insist on staying in hospitals. 1) viral loads at hospitals are higher, mild symptomatic person might get sicker 2) there is no medicine for the disease yet

If majority of healthy people are left in the economy isolating the ones those who are vulnerable (people of old age and/or comorbidity) we will be in much better place

This is the first time in history of world where healthy are being isolated and is becoming absurd now. Simple reason, lockdowns were to increase preparedness of healthcare system not to cure disease.

if your family member or neighbor is sick, help them. Use all precautions, do not let covid kill humanity in you. If you get sick doing very high chances you will recover. Malaria and dengue also have mortality rate in range of 2-5% and does not stop you from caring then!

Based on numbers as of May 29th a total of 0.01244% have been infected and 0.00036% have unfortunately passed away.

Lastly, this thread is my 2 cents after reading thru lot of research available in public domain, CDC, WHO, ICMR guidelines. I am not a medical professional and you should contact your doctor to take guidance if you are sick.
