Ziqitza Healthcare : The Reason Behind India’s
daily COVID Case Fall
For some good news in the pandemic, India has reported a sudden
decrease in confirmed corona cases in the previous two weeks. It is
seen as a sign of hope by most but more importantly, it is the
culmination of all the efforts that have been put up by our frontline
workers like doctors, nurses, hospital staff, and our paramedics.
Though the daily record of new cases of the corona virus is still a
pretty high number- hovering around the 50k mark; there has been
a steep decline of over 20 thousand new cases in just two weeks.
The COVID-19 graph of India is still climbing up a dangerous slope,
but at least the rate of increasing steepness has depraved greatly.
In today’s Ziqitza Healthcare ltd blog, we’ll be looking at the main
factors of this decline in daily COVID-19 cases in India and how can
we add on to the factors to take full advantage of the momentum
that has been set up.
What Exactly Happened?
In the middle of September, it seemed as if the battle against
Corona virus will only become worse and it’ll continue to make
humungous dents in the country till a vaccine comes.
India recorded a daily spike of 98 thousand corona cases,
close to 1 thousand deaths, surpassing the United States
Of America in Corona cases by a huge margin in one
single day.
It seemed as if things would get only worse from then on,
but following the end of September and now in the
middle of October, things are starting to fall a little into
place. The daily spike for the past 2 weeks has been
significantly low when compared to early September,
falling from 80k daily cases and 1k deaths to 60k daily
cases and 600 deaths in mid-October. This pattern has
been continuing for 21 days and is expected to go on
further.
What Changed To Make The Numbers Drop?
Well, when we look at the facts, the enormous increase in
the daily cases of Corona was spiking up due to restaurants
and markets being opened. Offices were also allowed to
operate at a diminished capacity and public transportation
in many states has been opened up. So an increase in daily
cases was expected.
But, since it has been 7 months since the lockdown was
officially declared, the Indian hospitals and ambulances
have caught up. Though they are still overburdened,
hospitals were quick to adapt to the impending pressure
and treat corona cases. In addition to that, with the help of
recent studies involving social distancing and protective
equipment against the virus, hospitals were able to come
up with a curriculum that would protect both its doctors as
well as its patients from getting infected.
New drugs have also come in to play. There are already
3 drugs that have been approved and are used majorly
in the Indian market. We now know that an increased
and enhanced immunity is extremely beneficial in
battling the virus and should take our vitamins to do
so.
And even though the social distancing rules and
personal protective equipment might seem lax all over
India, there has been an increased awareness about
the propagation of the virus and how to properly
quarantine when a case appears in a household.
But by far the most important factor despite having the
most corona deaths is our recovery rate.
India has the highest number of total corona cases
worldwide and the second-highest number of Corona
deaths. But due to our impressive recovery rate, we have
one of the lowest per capita deaths in the entire world. It
can be attributed to our majorly young population that has
better immunity than the elderly population of other
countries. We have extensively covered in another Ziqitza
Limited blog how a high recovery rate helps battle corona
but a brief summation would be: High recovery rate implies
more recovered people who can donate plasma. More
plasma donors mean more success in plasma therapy. More
success of plasma therapy, more recovered cases, and so on
and so forth.
What Can I Do To Keep The Momentum
Going?
For starters, you should practice all the social
distancing norms that have been provided for the
general public. Indulge in effective personal protective
equipment and avoid stepping out when it is not
necessary. All you can do to keep the momentum of
decreasing daily cases in India is to follow the rules
prescribed to battle the virus. Simple things like
wearing a mask properly and following social
distancing rules in addition to sanitizing objects you
come in contact with can go a very long way in
preventing the propagation of the virus.
What Is To Be Expected In The Future?
As pandemics go, the future is often undeterminable and blurry.
Though with a decrease in daily cases, we can slowly take the first
step towards normalcy again. If all social distancing rules are
followed properly and PPEs are taken seriously, the daily number
of Corona cases is expected to decline continuously. Till a vaccine is
approved, PPEs and social distancing are our best defines
measures against the virus.
