New Delhi : The situation of corona in India is under control, but now gradually new cases are starting to come from some states of India. Due to the gradual arrival of new cases, scientists and doctors are guessing this. It can turn into the third wave of Corona. People need to be very careful right now!
India is likely to see a rise in Covid-19 infections building into a new — though smaller — virus wave that may peak in October, according to a mathematical model by researchers who accurately predicted the tapering of a brutal surge of cases earlier this year.
The country may see a worsening of its outbreak as soon as this month, with the next wave peaking in the best-case scenario with less than 100,000 infections a day, or nearly 150,000 in the worst scenario, according to estimates by researchers led by Mathukumalli Vidyasagar and Manindra Agrawal at Indian Institute of Technology in Hyderabad and Kanpur respectively.States with high Covid rates, such as Kerala and Maharashtra, could “skew the picture,” Vidyasagar told Bloomberg in an email.
The next wave is likely to be far smaller than the 2nd wave that peaked at a record 400,000-plus daily cases on May 7 and declined sharply thereafter. But the forecast still underscores the need for India to accelerate its vaccination campaign, deploy surveillance methods to catch emerging hotspots and stay vigilant through genome sequencing given the potential for new variants to emerge.
Third waveDoctors and Experts are concerned about complacency setting in as people resume social and business activity in the face of waning infections. India’s first Corona epidemic outbreak last year ebbed with limited damage, leading to a quick resumption of local travel and large-scale festivals that drove the emergence of a devastating 2nd wave in March, April and May 2021. With hospitals and crematoriums overwhelmed, and researchers estimate that as Millions people may have been died in India, due to corona. The government estimates of total Covid-related fatalities so far is 424,351.
That last wave also lead to high levels of natural immunity in the country’s nearly 1.4 billion people — a factor that could blunt the impact of the next surge. A national antibody survey by the Indian Council of Medical Research study last month found that two-thirds of Indians above the age of six had been exposed to the coronavirus.
Even earlier this year, people in many states in India were very careless in January-February, as a result of which the second wave of Corona in March, April-May caused massive damage in India. people had to face many problems. Beds were not available in hospitals. people were very short of oxygen, life saving medicines. There was a huge shortage of them. people should keep in mind, the sooner people become aware. Don’t be careless people. That would be good for the country.
The central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi says it is now better prepared for further outbreaks and that future waves will not have the same impact on the economy as before.Public health authorities need to conduct air and sewage water surveillance to detect virus clusters across city neighborhoods, according to Ram Vishwakarma, an adviser at India’s Council of Scientific & Industrial Research. This would catch potential infections before they escalate to hospital emergency rooms.“Sewage water surveillance is the first indication that you start getting from a particular area,” he said at a conference on July 28.
Stepping up public health efforts and avoiding past mistakes will be key if India wants to save lives and livelihoods when the next wave descends.“This is the period which is the most critical because the next wave is imminent,” Vishwakarma said.
Now it is seen in most places that common people are not following social distancing properly and now many people are seen in the market, on the road and in the colonies. Those who are not wearing a mask properly,
With the corona case decreasing, people started taking carelessness again. Negligence here and there can be heavy in the coming time. be careful and be safe and follow the corona guidelines of the government completely.
All the state governments should prepare very wisely in view of the challenges ahead and the mistakes that happened at the beginning of the year.
