THE LOCKDOWN IMPACT ON HEALTH

THE LOCKDOWN IMPACT ON HEALTH 


      The lockdown impact on health. did you know about what is HEALTH?  According to WHO, the World Health Organization, Health is a state of complete physical,  mental and social well-being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity. During this time when there's so much focus on our physical health it's important not to forget about our mental health with all the changes happening as we overcome this pandemic it's easy to feel depressed anxious and stressed. The asymptomatic nature of the disease and isolation increase the fear and anxiety not only among the youth and older population, but children are also its invisible victims. Social disconnectedness is fuelling mental health issues among the older population while youth are suffering from a fear of an uncertain future, academic year and job losses. Many cases of mental health emergencies due to COVID-19 phobia have already been reported in India.


  
  there is both positive and negative covid19 lockdown impact on the health of peoples
  the first we see a negative impact on health.
 
The Lockdown negative Impact on Health:


1. How COVID-19 lockdown impacts the mental health of the most vulnerable? 
Apart from, different issues caused by the COVID-19 outbreak have affected
the mental health of people {others} with severe chronic illnesses such as (viz HIV/ AIDS,
chronic kidney disease, organ failure patients and the cardiac patients etc) are
requiring regular medicines and medical care. so being hotspot area, some people are
not access enough health care facility. so, unfortunately, on those people are may lockdown
negative impact on their health and vulnerable of other complications such as depression
anxiety and stress confusion, anger, insomnia or inability to sleep and also unfortunately
it maybe leads suicides. 

2. Because of lockdown most of the slum areas in Mumbai, Delhi and small villages are especially in hotspots areas. I mean if you look at Dharavi, Mumbai and you could look at Dharavi,
peoples and all these slum areas meters and the where you have significant rise cases for 
Covid-19 and unfortunately these are the places where the underprivileged (needy) health
care Women’s or mothers who are pregnant do not get access to enough health care and the hospital
nearby the small hospitals are all closed many of the bigger hospitals have become Covid-19
hospitals so, unfortunately, the places where they are registered may be closed they have no idea where to go and what to do next and even if they know where to go or the hospital open and they have no transportation access because of transport out from those hotspot areas is very difficult so in this case what happens? will, unfortunately, it's got a very negative impact on their health because during the pregnancy woman needs monthly health check-ups. and if women have any other complication or health problems that are life-threatening for pregnancy women’s such as miscarriage, pre-eclampsia and placenta praevia ectopic pregnancy etc. If occur it needs emergency hospitalisation. so, it's also a big the crisis is our India. and the negative impact of lockdown on health.


The Lockdown positive Impact on Health:

Everyone has been in lockdown for over a month. Many of us are getting bore, miss our daily routines, and frustrated about staying indoors all the time. It is completely normal to feel this way as it is in our nature. to go out and socialise with other people. But what we don’t seem to have realised is that there is a positive impact on being in lockdown. The first and obvious reason is that we are helping to flatten the curve by not catching the coronavirus ourselves. Here are a few more ways that being in quarantine is having a positive impact on our health.

1.Environmental changes. air pollution is one of the deadliest killers it claims more than 7 million lives each year. It shows on average about 3 years of our lives particularly for people living in global south Africa and Asia.and nowadays the traffic has nearly stopped and nitrogen dioxide levels have clearly dropped. Nature beautifully healing itself due to lockdown the air pollution and water pollution become radiuses like Ganga river Delhi air pollution get decreased and become pour because of lockdown. it's perfect for the health of all living things such as animals’ plant's birds’ aquatic animals and as well as humans. remember if you struggle to breathe and now if you breathing in toxins then that means recovery it’s very difficult for you due to this there we have also seen our alders are about between age of 70-101 years old recovering maybe its due to the atmosphere they may are because breathing well or less pollution in the air.

2. Sufficient and good sleep: When we don’t have to commute long distances to get to work or have to get the kids ready for school on time, we can get a little more sleep. Even an extra hour of sleep could mean seven hours instead of six, which makes a big difference to our health. In the evening too, as people don’t have to get home late, it is possible to get to bed a little
earlier and get more rest.


3. Eating healthy: Not only are we stuck at home, but most restaurants and delivery services have stopped. Many of us have also become cautious about eating outside food because we don’t want to catch COVID-19. As a result, more of us are eating home-cooked food. Home cooking
usually uses less oil, fresh ingredients, and little to no processed foods, making
it a healthier option than eating out.

4. Working out: The extra time on our hands and the worry of gaining weight has prompted many people to start working out at home. From yoga and meditation to energetic Zumba sessions, people all over the world are getting creative with their home workouts. This is also a fun activity because the whole family can join in and stay healthy together.

5. Home care: With domestic help also needing to stay home, we find ourselves needing to do our own housework. This is a good thing for several reasons. Housework is one of the most productive ways to keep busy and not get bored. You are personally invested when you are cleaning your own home so you do a much better job. You find things that you haven’t used in a long time and can take the call to throw them out. And you end up with a much cleaner living space. Sweeping, mopping, dusting, and cleaning cobwebs are all ways to keep active and burn extra calories.

6. Family time: With parents working from home and kids not having to go to school, this is the best time to bond as a family. As parents get involved in home-schooling, they start to understand what their kids are learning in school, what their difficulties are, and how they can help them. Families also have more time to do fun stuff together like play board games, cook meals, do arts and crafts, and much more. This time together is a great way to relieve stress and improve mental health.


It might not seem like it at first, but the lockdown can have many benefits. The positive impact
on our health is a good reason why everyone should take this time and make the most of it

Do you have a common fever, cough or It's Symptoms of COVID-19 ( corona-virus )?

 Do you have a common fever, cough or It's Symptoms of COVID-19 ( corona-virus ) lest know about:

Hello everyone! we predict nothing appearance completely different right now,but if it will, it’s as a result of we’ve captive our studio to my home.Because the state of Montana has told everyone to stay home for currently.We’re doing that, as a result of that's what we tend to can doto create this unit higher.I’ll show you - I’ll grab my phone right now.And show you what it's like from my angle.This is wherever I sit and do my work!And this can be currently the SciShow studio.We want to stay you advisedtherefore we tend to square measure going to continuebringing you SciShow News. Regular SciShow goes to continue likewise,
and we’ll have plentyof videos concerning weird worms and funky stuff in outer spaceto keep you occupied.Now latelyplenty of individuals may well be obtaining coughs or feversand stressing out as a result of they’re upset they have COVID-19 the illness plenty of individuals square measure simply vocation
“corona”or “the coronavirus.”And this can be like completely comprehendible.
 
 
              The main symptoms for COVID-19 will overlap with thoseof common sicknesses just like the respiratory disorder.And, a minimum of within the hemisphere, it’s still cold and respiratory disorder season and also the spring hypersensitivity reaction season is starting.Meanwhile, it will be onerous to even understand if you have COVID-19.Doctors wish many sorts of tests to verify.It can also take multiple tests to understand for surethat you don’t have it.Even if you’re tested and it comes back negative,some reports recommend that in as several as 15-30% of cases,that is a false negative that means you have the diseasebut the take a look at didn’t notice it.Which is why doctors might advise some folks who get testedto self-isolate, though they take a look at negative.But knowing a lot of concerning the symptoms of COVID-19can provide you with some clues concerning what to try and do nextif you begin feeling inferior.First things first: If you think that you would possibly have the coronavirusor wish medical recommendationyou must visit an actual doctor.I am not that.If you've got acute symptoms, like hassle respiratory,pause all YouTube videos and decision your doctor or the ER.Still, the on the market analysis will tell North American nation a lotabout what this illness usually appears like.The 3 main symptoms everyone's talking about square measure fever,dry cough, and issue respiratory.Which is sensibleas a result of this coronavirus is mainlya respiratory tract infection.Two major review papers one in Travel Medicine and InfectiousDisease, one within the Journal of Medical medicine looked atsymptoms across thousands of patients, mainly in China,where a lot of of our early information is coming back from.According to their analyses, about to ninetieth of adult patientspresent with a fever, and concerning 58-72% have a cough.Big range there, yeah, however this comes from doing applied math analysis  it means we’re ninety fifth sure that the true numberis in between those 2 numbers.Only the Travel medication authors checked out trouble respiratory,and they found that concerning forty sixth of patients had that symptom.Now, the North American nation Centers for illness management lists these because the high three symptoms.But in line with these reviews, fatigue and muscle achesare right up there with issue respiratory,occurring in 29-43% of patients.Kids appear to own a lot of milder symptoms in general as an example, the review paper from the Travel medication groupfound that solely a quarter mile had fever, and simply twenty second had a cough.And there’s some proof that children might actually havedifferent symptoms like a lot of canal issues, as an example.Also, it’s vital to recollect that among both adults and youngsters,many cases square measure diagnosing they already have the virus,but don't nevertheless have symptoms.We still don’t quite understand what meaning for how those peoplespread the illnesshowever it's most likely not good. Likewise, we all know that there's a minimum of a small cluster of adults,and probably childrenWorld Health Organization square measure symptomless, meaningthey haven't any symptoms the least bit.In fact, a mathematical analysis revealed in mid-March,which checked out early cases in China and the way COVID-19 then spreadaround the globecalculable that up to eighty six of caseswere delicate enough to travel unsupported.That doesn’t essentially mean symptomless — it’s simply not like“I have to be compelled to move to the doctor” dangerous.But the ill health, of course, will still become very severe particularly once the fever, cough, and trouble respiratory comboturns into respiratory disorderwherever the lungs become inflamedand fill with fluid.By the way, you'll keep hearing that older patientsand those with pre-existent conditions square measure more in danger,and that is true. however even younger, healthier patientscan develop respiratory disorderthat ain’t nice.The two papers found that in 15-33% of confirmed COVID-19 cases,the respiratory disorder will get to acute metabolic process distress syndrome,where fluid buildup ends up in a severe shortness of breaththat will be fatal.That’s why having enough ventilators, which help folks breathe,is therefore vital.None of those symptoms, of course, square measure surprising;there’s a decent probability you’ve detected all of this before.But there square measure the rarer symptoms, too.The paper in Travel and communicable disease didn’t specify numbersfor these, however the opposite cluster found that about St Martin's Day of patientshad a raw throatV-E Day had a headache, and 6% had diarrhoea.
 

                This is wherever you begin to visualize however analysis
on somethingas new as this coronavirus will be difficult.Both of the review papers we’ve been talking
aboutonly checked out studies discharged through the end of February.But a number of the more moderen analysis looks to disagreeabout however common biological process symptoms square measure.In a study that followed patients through March 18,researchers in China found that of 204 hospitalized patients,half had biological process symptoms — loss of craving, diarrhea, vomiting,or abdomen pain.And though you don’t count loss of craving as a biological process symptom,19% of the patients still had GI problems.The esearchers note that this study has some limitations— as an example, it doesn’t have an enormous sample size.But it’s a signal that biological process symptoms may be a lot of commonthan we tend to thought supported earlier studies.Again, all of the symptoms of COVID-19 will be caused byplenty of different infections, from respiratory disorder to a stomach virusto the respiratory illness.And in several places that don’t have massive outbreaks,it is still far more seemingly for folks experiencing symptomsto be sick with something other than COVID-19.Even in New York State, which has one of the largest outbreaksin the world as of this recording, about 2/3 of testswere coming back negative as recently as last Sunday.It’s also worth noting that the coronavirus doesn’t usuallycome with itchy, watery eyes, and a runny nose or sneezing are rare.So those symptoms especially without a fever might point to allergies or a cold instead.Then again, there’s no reason someone couldn’t have allergiesor a cold and also have coronavirus.So if you’ve got a runny nose, that doesn’t mean that you canrun out and celebrate that you don’t have COVID.And there is one weird symptom that might be a sign it’s COVID-19:it’s losing your sense of smell.As of when we’re filming this, which is
March 31st,this is still very much an emerging possibility,not a for sure thing yet.But anecdotal reports started coming out a few weeks ago,and once people were paying attention to it,researchers started finding more evidence of it as a symptom.An initial analysis, published on March 26 by researchers in Germany,cited reports that up to two thirds of patientshad lost their sense of smell.And a group of British researchers report
that in South Korea,30% of otherwise mild cases had a loss of smell as their main symptom.The World Health Organization, or WHO, says it’s looking into this link,but that there’s not enough evidence yet
to saythe connection is really there.Because even this isn’t a for sure sign of coronavirus other respiratory infections can also affect your sense of smell.What’s more, there’s the possibility of this bias where peoplestart reporting symptoms that they’ve heard about so the media or social media picks up on the smell thing,and then more people start to notice it and report it.Still, researchers are starting to recommend that peoplewho lose their sense of smell should be told to self-isolatefor a week or two.They think it might help reduce the number
of mild caseswalking around and spreading the disease.
 
 
              All in all, it’s tricky to diagnose people withoutactually testing them for COVID-19.Because even with testing capability ramping up in many countries,there are still limitations like having enough peopleto administer and process those tests.That’s why the WHO has two main sets of recommendations.The first is for people who have severe symptoms,like a high fever, bad cough, or difficulty breathing.In those cases, those people should seek medical attention.The other recommendations are for people who are otherwise healthybut have mild symptoms that could be COVID-19.In those cases, the WHO recommends people self-isolateand contact their doctor or a COVID-19 hotlinefor advice about getting tested.Doctors also say you can take medicines like acetaminophenor ibuprofen to help with symptoms.Those aren’t going to help the course of the disease,but they will help you feel better temporarily.There was news that went viral recently about the French Ministryof Health saying ibuprofen or similar medicationscould make the illness worse, but that was speculationbased on an unproven theory about how infections work.It was speculation published in a reputable journal,but in science we actually need evidence, and so far there isn’t any.Some people might have issues with ibuprofen, and if that’s you,you probably already know to avoid it.And none of that is specific to COVID-19.So far, the WHO hasn’t recommended against taking ibuprofen.They also have some recommendations on how. to carefor someone with this disease, if hospitalization
isn’t an option.There’s a link to that in the video description.It includes vigilant handwashing and trying
to maintainat least a one-meter distance between the patientand the other members of the household.This is a scary time, but if you have seasonal allergies,you are probably pretty familiar with how they affect you so your old reliable allergy symptoms are nothing to panic over.If you feel like your symptoms are more unusual,stay in and call your doctor for advice.This is a good opportunity to recognize that we oftensort of colloquially say like this particular disease startswith this symptom, then it progresses this way -but this is different for different people.So there’s no one symptom or one disease progressionthat tells you for sure that you have COVID-19.Especially because many people have it and do not have symptoms yet,or may not ever have symptoms.So limiting contact with others, whether we are symptomatic or not,is still the best thing we can do for our
societyand for the people on the front lines of this fight.But researchers are working hard to change that.We’ll be keeping an eye out, and you can expect upcoming SciShow Newsepisodes to bring you more info in the coming weeks.Until then, stay safe at home

Get the fact on corona-virus by Dr Peter-kin

So we'd like to urge the facts straight. How does this virus work, however, will it transmit, wherever will it wish to travel, and let's defend ourselves? 



The coronavirus could be a family of viruses which will cause as gentle things as just a typical cold, all the far to SARS or MERS. These are this dangerous pneumonia that we're talking concerning. And basically what these viruses are, they
look like a ball with all these spikes protruding of it. And relying on the kind of spike,
 it permits that virus to connect to sure places. So some viruses, they need this spike that attaches to your nose. therefore primarily you simply get a typical cold. But the severe acute respiratory syndrome virus and this new virus that we're talking concerning have the spike that permits it to connect to the cells in you're respiratory organ and once it attaches there, it puts in info to form photocopies of itself. therefore it uses our instrumentation to make additional viruses. I am declaring a public health emergency of international concern over the world eruption of the novel coronavirus. Most of the coronaviruses board animals. during this specific case, it was from the city. There was a fish market wherever they were commerce live animals and the thought is that the virus was in an exceedingly live animal, then it crossed into a personality's. But then what we tend to found was that folks were getting sick in terms of health care workers, in terms of relations that were taking care of them, that currently meant that the virus will pass from human to another human. a bit like all viruses, it needs to achieve a target, that is your lung and it's to urge there with your help. it's no feet and no wings. So, therefore, it desires America to manoeuvre it there. So that is why we tend to keep speech do not suspend around ill individuals as a result of you're gonna breathe it in. and do not bit your face as a result of that is, however, the virus is going to urge in. The masks are useful, but they're not necessary as a result of they're leaky. those that you simply and that I obtain basically have pockets here, therefore the virus will get in. What the masks really do is that they stop America from touching our face. If you are sick, we tend to ask you, therefore thus you are not spewing out the viruses to people sitting around you. truth folks that have the real masks ar the N95. Those are sealed. These are for the doctors that will be caring for the patients. So in the beginning, the coronavirus can cause the kind of like flu-like symptoms or a chilly. therefore individuals simply get the stuffy nose, that kind of issue. however, you will perceive that as before long as that virus starts manufacturing in your respiratory organ cells, they're producing of these copies of the virus. All of an abrupt currently you kill the respiratory organ cells, therefore currently you cannot exchange oxygen and that is why one among the first symptoms is individuals get terribly in the need of breath and they tend to own a troublesome time respiratory and that is why they find yourself in hospital. therefore presently sadly we tend to don't have a right away treatment for coronavirus, therefore we do not have a medication which will kill it off. And so it's very corroborative. therefore in different words, the patient cannot breathe, we tend to offer them oxygen facilitate them to breathe, they can't drink, therefore thus we tend to offer them fluids to support them. Their kidneys begin to shut down, we tend to facilitate them with all those things. therefore it is a terribly corroborative method. this can be a brand new virus that we've never seen before, therefore our system, our army, ar having a tough time calculation out what to try to to. therefore sometimes what we've got to try to are we tend to create one thing known as antibodies. So there are things which will grab on to the spikes that we tend to see on the virus and it'll get eliminate the virus for you and that will really bring you back to good health. therefore thus the old might have a worse outcome and in fact, the young children, the babies, their immune system isn't therefore smart either, so that they might not create those antibodies still. So just bear in mind your hands could also be with the virus.


 The virus cannot hurt you as a result of it can't get through the skin, but the moment I try this, currently I've brought the virus right to wherever it desires to travel. So let's bear in mind to not bit our hands to our face. therefore for example you think that that you simply might have been on a plane otherwise you might have run into someone that has it, what must you do? that the very first thing is to contact a health care employee to inform them that doubtless, you've got it. If you're feeling symptoms and you are going to go into a facility, call ahead. So whether you are job the paramedics or whether you are job the hospital or your doctor, simply mention that you simply were on a flight. If you do not have any symptoms, then what we tend to do could be a little of a self-quarantine. In different words, we can simply keep you faraway from people and so you do not get into parties, don't together with your friends, do not enter public transportation. therefore we are able to contain it terribly simply by ensuring that you simply do a self-confinement, therefore, to talk for the for example seven to fourteen days is that the longest incubation time, therefore at the moment if you're feeling well, then you do not have anything to stress concerning. If we tend to get the facts right, then we do not have to be too upset, however, we tend to do the right things so we do not get the virus ourselves, which we don't pass it on to others. And if we look after one another during this method, this virus can have obscurity to travel. It desires America to manoeuvre it, it desires America to make copies for it, and if we do not facilitate it, then the virus can stop. therefore we tend to have the power to try to that, right now.
