Coimbatore: Covid-19 wave of the second, which is more deadly than the first wave and seeing desperate crying for oxygen, hopefully it will be behind us soon.
While the district continues to record more than 200 new cases a day, it seems only the problem of time before the number reaches two double and single digits.
Compared to the first wave, according to the data available with us, the district has reported three times the number of cases and twice the number of deaths in the brutal second wave.
Doctors and epidemiology What is feared is further mutations from viruses that can become more transmitted and attacked hosts who have not been inoculated during the anticipated third wave.
While the district recorded nearly 60,000 positive cases and 694 deaths for the extent that in the first wave, he had recorded 1.68 lakh positive cases and 1,440 deaths in less than four months in the second wave, which began on April 1.
To note that the second wave has not ended and the district continues to report several hundred fresh cases and four to five deaths every day.
Virologists and epidemiology associate a surge in surge with an increase in the transmission version of the virus that is mutated.
Dr K Klandasamy, a member of the expert advisory panel in Covid-19, said, “It was already accepted and proven, that the new Covid-19 infection variant appeared during the second wave, which led to a large family group and pushed the number of cases rising.” Dr.
Varun Sundaramoorthy , Expert Infectious Diseases, Kovai Medical Center and Hospital, said this new variant affected the lungs faster, causing more severe infections among young people.
Doctors are afraid that the third wave may be more intense and brutal.
“It’s natural for viruses to keep mutating.
If there is, it will continue to find a new host to attack,” said Dr K Rajendran, Secretary, Academy of Indian Child Specialist, Tamil Nadu.
“So, while we suspect it might start attacking children, who are not vaccinated against viruses, it might mutate to attack even non-vaccinated adults, which is quite large in this country.” Dr.
Mariappan, epidemiology and retired ICMR scientists, said vaccination or facial protection of all forms of Covid-19 variant must be taken by people in front of the third wave.
“It can help prevent or minimize viral transmission by moving adults, while protecting it and children from a more mutating virus version.”
