Imagine a geriatric patient in your neighborhood who got susceptible to dengue. You closely monitor his sufferings and you are compassionate for him as well, but in the end, he dies. Now you become very cautious, you bring a mosquito net, odomos, face mask and mosquito-killing racket, etc and you don’t even permit your child to play outside as dengue mosquitoes could be anywhere. There is a thin line between being cautious and losing your sense of proportion. Have you ever thought that what kind of diseases he was inflicted with (other than dengue)? What was his age when he died and how his immune system used to perform? Instead of comprehending the medical history of the patient, you just threw a quick judgment that dengue is a nerve-racking disease. And it’s the icing on the cake if you are prone to watching news channels and browsing social networking sites because they hold Ph.D. in creating unnecessary panic.
What do you say about coronavirus? Coronavirus outbreak in China, a massacre, snatching lives of many, WHO has declared a public health emergency, the death toll is incessantly rising, currently surged to 814, 6,196 are on their last leg and your country could be the next, roll up your sleeves to fight against Thanatos. Just a spin of sophisticated vocabulary and fearful expression, nothing else, calm down, don’t panic, all is well! That’s how these journalists fabricate and exaggerate things. Now have a look at the data with an optimistic view, out of total 37,556 coronavirus positive patients till the date, 2,769 recovered, which carries 7.26% of the total number. Most of the patients who died were previously inflicted with comorbid medical disorders such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiac disease, etc and they were also exposed to Huanan seafood market (live animal and seafood market) in Wuhan (the epicenter of coronavirus). We need to appreciate the Chinese government which established 1000 beds hospital within 10 days. All the governments are burning the midnight oil to cease the virus, and they are quite successful as well. However, it could be the wrong idea to fly down their citizens from Wuhan to their respective countries. But they are doing the best they can do for assuring the good health of their citizens.
On the other hand, it’s interesting to note the impact of coronavirus on the global economy. The economy runs on the basis of how a consumer behaves, his behavior differs from situation to situation. At this point in time, a consumer is in fear, so it’s hampering the demand side of economics and consequently effecting the supply side as well, altogether constraining this quarter’s GDP. South Asia is already on the verge of recession, if this panic continues, then it may create an even bigger economic slowdown.
The patients who are lying on their death beds, may recover, hope for the best! Why penetrate negativity in the minds of the public when responsible, audacious and potential health systems are performing their best? It’s a life-taking disease and be aware of its symptoms, causes, and preventive measures. But don’t push the panic button unless it’s required.
