Corona Virus Cases..
Remember CV is not fatal for young and healthy (but cause of concern for elderly and people with underlying respiratory issues), but it's important to be prepared as we can't afford many people falling sick at once, leading to burden on hospitals and hitting economy too. Imagine people not being able to work for weeks... need to panic but take precautions,no harm is self isolating for a few days.
Mortality rate is nearer to 3per except for Italy (may be because of demographics where 23per of population is elderly)

If we take adequate precaution and break the chain then we can tide the Corona virus Outbreak else we have a big problem in hand especially for the elderly population
So far so good. India has done well so far in its fight to contain Corona Virus. Now we are in stage 3 in which Virus spreads through social contacts & in social gatherings. This is most critical stage & number of confirmed cases spread exponentially everyday like what happened in Italy between last week of February & second week of March. From 300 to 10,000. If India is not able to manage this stage for next 3 to 4 weeks then we could have confirmed cases not in Thousands but in Lakhs. This next one month is crucial. That is why most events & public gatherings have been closed till 15th April.
Just because schools are closed avoid getting that compulsive travel & Holiday bug. Holidays will come next year too why try your luck with Corona specially with children. Marriage functions, Birthday parties etc can wait. Don’t try your luck & that bravado that nothing will happen to me. Next 30 days will be most crucial in medical History of India. Take all precautions while at home & while outside for any important work. Precaution is not panic.
Be a responsible citizen by following & educating others to remain careful for next one month.
