Relaxation on lockdown
🌈For those arguing on both sides that we must open now or it is too soon to open, this is the most important thing you’ll read. I promise.*

β€œHere's the question to answer:

When will it be safe to end the lockdown, to reemerge?

May 1st? May 15th? June? July? August?

Here's the real answer:

Never.

It will never be "safe".

Social distancing, staying at home, all of these measures were not to "cure" Covid-19. These were measures to slow it down, so as to not overwhelm our healthcare system.

For the most part, we've done that.

It does not change the virality of Covid, how it spreads from one person to another.

It has no effect on the mortality rate.

It was intended to delay it.

But as soon as we emerge, the virus will spread again and the people with weakened immune systems will still succumb to it.

This is a harsh fact.

The people who missed it this time, will eventually get it-regardless of if we emerge on May 1st or September 30th.

We need to protect our healthcare system to handle the load, but we don't need to mislead ourselves over the outcome of this quarantine.

It is slowing it down, but not curing it.

If you're driving to jaipur from Delhi at 50 miles an hour or 100 miles an hour, the distance doesn't change.

If your lifestyle is causing you to have a weakened immune system, use this time to correct that.

Otherwise, you've placed a target on your own back.

Now is not the time for indulging in comfort food - it's a time to give ourselves the healthiest, most robust immune system our body is capable of.”

DONT U THINK RIGHT NOW WE ARE SITTING DUCKS

Believe it or not , this lockdown ( though it was really bang on time & was definitely the need of the hour - it is serving the most important purpose that's to delay the spread of infection) has only compromised our immunity now ( anxiety + lack of physical activity + unhealthy eating - they make a deadly combination in reducing our immunity ) whenever we will go out , be it on 3rd May or 3rd June or 3rd July our chances of catching infection will only increase

( As per reliable US agency , 58% of Indian population will get infected by September (herd immunity )


WHAT TO DO NOW

1 we have to take lots & lots of precautions , no doubt about it
2 once we know that sooner or later it will affect most of us , now comes the most important part
⁃ Do regular yoga Pranayam as it strengthens ur lungs ( if our lungs r strong , chances r we will escape with minor infection)
⁃
⁃ Those who can do cardio based exercises ( any exercise which increases our heart rate ; it can be brisk walk , spot jogging or any other movement which can easily be done at home )
⁃ Dancing is also a great way to keep active so putting on some music for 10 to 15 minutes can really contribute to the daily exercise quota
⁃ Walking at a stretch for minimum 45 min even at our home can go long way in building our immunity
⁃ Avoid oily food , eat healthy food ( fruits , vit c rich food )
⁃ Drink good amount of water, milk, lime water, etc.
⁃ Research at Harvard University shows that combination of raw garlic , ginger & pepper has got strong antiviral properties ( can be taken with honey)
⁃ Any throat infection can be perfectly controlled within 1 day if we do this ( take sips of warm water every 15-30 min whole days + steam for 10 min 5-6 times a day ) it works by increasing the temperature of our throat & killing the virus

It is definitely our duty to obey the lockdown completely but r we doing enough for ourselves . ASK YOURSELF
