An animal study on the genetically modified mice with ACE2 receptors showed that it could be infected with SARS with just 240 PFU. In comparison, it required 70,000 PFU of novel coronavirus to get infected.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Infectious period:</b> Length of time an individual can transmit the infection to others is not known precisely, but possibly up to 10-14 days. Artificially reducing the contagious period is a crucial method of reducing overall transmission. Hospitalisation, isolation, lockdown and quarantine are all effective methods.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Who can infect: </b>Anyone infected with the virus can infect even before the symptoms appear. Most carriers do not even show signs. Covering our mouth and nose when we cough or sneeze will help reduce the infection. The virus is present in the saliva, sputum and faeces of the infected person for the whole infectious period.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #d52c1f; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="background-color: lime; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;"><a href="https://competitivetimes.blogspot.com/2020/03/covid-19-ifrc-unicef-and-who-issue-new.html"><font color="#d52c1f" face="georgia">COVID-19: New guidance By WHO, UNICEF for Teachers, Parents to Protect Children </font></a></span></span></span></span></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>How we infect:</b> Transmission is mostly via droplets. This requires relatively close contact, less than 6 feet. This is why it is recommended that we stay 1.5 metres away from each other in public places such as the vegetable market or supermarket. A study done in Hong Kong shows that social distancing can reduce the spread by 44%.  Inanimate vector of disease, in particular phones, doorknobs, surfaces are a potential source for transmission, but not much is known about it. It is safe sanitise out hands after touching doorknobs, lift call buttons and counters in public places.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>How many we infect: </b> The average number of new infections caused by a typical infectious person, that is human transmissibility range (R0) is between 2.2 to 3.1. In simple word, one infected individual on the average infects about 2.2 to 3.1 persons.  By physical distancing, we can artificially reduce the actual transmissibility, thus slow the rate of infection.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Where did the virus come from:</b> It is not from eating bat soup. Once you boil, the virus is decimated. Initially, it was speculated that the SARS-CoV-2 virus jumped from bat to humans. But recent genomes study show first it must have leapt from bat to an intermediary species before it latched on to humans. Another study indicates that a lineage of SARS-CoV-2 virus was circulating in humans before the disease outbreak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>How it evolved:</b> SARS-CoV-2 has emerged either by natural selection of virulent strain in a non-human animal host before zoonotic transfer to humans or natural selection of virulent strain in humans following a zoonotic transmission. Only more studies will show which of the two is right. We still are not clear what are the mutations in SARS-CoV-2 that allowed human infection and transmission.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>When did  SARS-CoV2 emerge:</b>  While here have been no documented cases of SARS-CoV2 before December 2019. However, preliminary genomic analyses suggest that the first human cases of SARS-CoV-2 appeared between mid-October and mid-December 2019. This means there was a period of unrecognised transmission in humans between the primary zoonotic event and the outbreak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Can it infect animals:</b><span> The molecular modelling suggests that SARS-CoV-2 can affect besides human, bat, civet, monkey and swine cells. Does not infect domestic animals or livestock. Consuming eggs or poultry will not result in SARS-CoV-2 infection.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Can one be infected twice: </b>Once we get measles, most of us acquire life long immunity. We hardly get measles again. Experimentally infected macaques were not capable of being reinfected. Likewise, there is no evidence of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 after recovery in humans. However, how long the immunity will last is unknown.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>How severe is the illness: </b>COVID-19 is not a death sentence. The majority of COVID-19 cases are mild (81%), About 15% need hospitalisation and 5% require critical care. That is the vast majority of the infected will not even need hospitalisation.</span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Who are the most vulnerable:</b> Healthcare workers are most susceptible. About 20% of healthcare workers in Lombardy, Italy becoming infected while providing medical care to patients.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Among the general public, aged, in particular above 60 years of age and people with prior cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, and respiratory conditions have a higher risk.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">What is the cause of the death: Most of the deaths is caused by respiratory failure or respiratory failure combined with heart damage. Leakage of fluid into the lungs, which inhibits respiration and leads to morbidity, is the primary clinical condition. At present, the treatment for COVID-19 is primarily supportive care, including ventilation if necessary. Several therapeutic trials are ongoing, and the results are awaited.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Are the virus transmitted by milk sachets, or newspapers: </b>SARS-CoV-2 can persist on plastic and stainless steel surfaces for up to 3 days. When the viral load was 10000 PFU, it lasted on newspaper and cotton cloth only for 5 minutes. Washing the milk sachets is adequate to remove the virus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Will it spread through the air:</b> In the air, the virus can survive only up to 2.7 hours. Therefore being in open spaces such as a balcony, the terrace is no harm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Is there a less virulent strain: </b>While many strains are being identified, studies so far have not indicated any mutations that are linked to any changes in transmission or disease severity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Will, the onset of summer or rainy season, gives respite: No strong evidence exists showing a reduction in transmission with the seasonal increase in temperature and humidity.  </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">Regular exercise, breakfast every day without fail, Protein Diet, Staying Hydrated, Regular Exercise, Enough Sleep, Stress Levels and Plenty of Vegetables are the scientifically proven ways with which you can achieve your goal. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Many people who lose weight end up gaining it back. In fact, 20% of dieters who start off overweight end up successfully losing weight and keeping it off in the long term. However, don't let this discourage you. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">There are a few common reasons why people gain back the weight they lose. They are mostly related to unrealistic expectations and feelings of deprivation.</span></div></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Regular Exercise</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Regular exercise plays an important role in weight maintenance. When you are in energy balance, it means you burn the same number of calories that you consume. As a result, your weight is more likely to stay the same.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><i><a href="https://competitivetimes.blogspot.com/2020/01/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-things-you.html"><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;">Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV): Things You Need to Know to Protect Yourself </span></a></i></span></span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">People who do at least One Hour of moderate physical activity a day after losing weight are more likely to maintain their weight. It's important to note that exercise is the most helpful for weight maintenance when it's combined with other lifestyle changes, including sticking to a healthy diet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://competitivetimes.blogspot.com/2019/07/monsoon-special-how-to-keep-your-skin.html" style="background-color: white; font-size: x-large; text-align: left;"><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;"><i><b>Health Tips: How to take care of your Skin during monsoon Season</b></i></span></a></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Eat Breakfast every day without fail</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Those who eat breakfast tend to have healthier habits overall, which may help them maintain their weight. However, skipping breakfast does not automatically lead to weight gain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Eat Protein Diet</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Protein may benefit weight maintenance by promoting fullness, increasing metabolism and reducing your total calorie intake.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="color: blue; text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://competitivetimes.blogspot.com/2019/06/research-on-proton-therapy-in-treatment.html"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">What</span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"> is Proton Therapy in Treatment of Cancer</span></a></b></i></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Check your weight at regular intervals</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Monitoring your weight by stepping on the scale on a regular basis may be a helpful tool for weight maintenance. This is because it can make you aware of your progress and encourage weight control behaviours.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Self-weighing may aid weight maintenance by keeping you aware of your progress and behaviours.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><a href="https://competitivetimes.blogspot.com/2018/02/breast-cancer-and-cervical-cancer.html" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;"><i><b>Breast cancer and cervical cancer; Reason,Symptoms and many more by Expert</b></i></span></span></a></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Careful of Your Carb Intake</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Eating too many refined carbs, such as white bread, white pasta and fruit juices, can be detrimental to your weight maintenance goals. Limiting your intake of carbs, especially those that are refined, may help prevent weight regain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><a href="https://competitivetimes.blogspot.com/2018/12/nearly-30-million-sick-and-premature.html" style="font-size: x-large; text-align: left;"><span style="color: red;"><b><i>Nearly 30 million sick and premature newborns in dire need of treatment every year:WHO</i></b></span></a></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> Lift Weights</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Reduced muscle mass is a common side effect of weight loss. Lifting weights at least twice a week may help with weight maintenance by preserving your muscle mass, which is important to sustain a healthy metabolism.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><a href="https://competitivetimes.blogspot.com/2018/10/overweight-or-obese-major-factor.html" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><b><i>Overweight or Obese, a major factor leading to many lifestyle diseases; Experts View</i></b></span></span></a></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Stay Hydrated</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Drinking water regularly may promote fullness and increase your metabolism, both important factors in weight maintenance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Those who drank water before eating a meal had a 13% reduction in calorie intake, compared to participants who didn't drink water</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Get Enough Sleep</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sleeping for healthy lengths of time may help with weight maintenance by keeping your energy levels up and hormones under control.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Control Stress Levels</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is important to keep stress levels under control to maintain your weight, as excess stress may increase the risk of weight gain by stimulating your appetite.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Eat Plenty of Vegetables</b></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Vegetables are high in fiber and low in calories. Both of these properties may be helpful for weight maintenance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Make Sustainable Changes to Your Lifestyle</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is easier to maintain weight loss when you make sustainable lifestyle changes, rather than following the unrealistic rules that many weight loss diets focus on.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Untreated hypertension and diabetes can lead to serious and often fatal health complications. Unfortunately, in the absence of the practice of regular health screenings, a large number of obese people in the city continue to live with undiagnosed blood pressure and blood sugar related conditions till date, as various screening tests revealed during the health camp. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Needless to say, now a days, the risk of heart disease and strokes are the world’s leading cause of death across the globe. The biggest tragedies for we are we know the right but do the wrong and it is completely true about our negligence of the Heart in terms of precautions and health point of view. All of us are aware about the fact that lack of exercise and unhealthy diets are the major cause for the growing heart disease cased among us. Apart from thest the jigh blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels are all factors which can trigger heart disease.</span></p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">It is a well acknowledged fact that India is the world capital of cardiovascular diseases, which has overtaken communicable diseases to become the leading cause of deaths among Indians. However, it is important to underline that most heart ailments can be prevented, or at least their impact can be controlled with regular preventive screenings, timely diagnosis, and appropriate medical intervention. The screening tests at the camp were followed by one-on-one consultations for patients identified to be at high-risk.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Dr Deepak Katyal, Consultant–Cardiology, Columbia Asia Hospital, Patiala says, “Multiple factors contribute to the risk of cardiac ailments in our city, starting from high blood pressure and cholesterol, to obesity, hypertension and stress. In the last few years, heart diseases have increased almost up to five times in our state, and the problem is worsening due to lack of exercise, stressful and sedentary lifestyles, and unhealthy habits like smoking and alcohol consumption. The key to prevent cardiovascular diseases is understanding risk factors and managing them, and hence arises the need for screening tests. Unfortunately, many of us tend to neglect heart health until experiencing a critical episode such as heart attack or stroke. Prevention is crucial because in many cases even first-time heart attacks are fatal.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Cardiovascular disease is caused by disorder of the heart and blood vessels, and includes coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, rheumatic heart disease, and heart failure. While genetic disposition remain the most common and uncontrollable risk factor, majority of cardiovascular disease is nowadays caused due to lifestyle factors and become more prevalent with ageing, suggests clinical evidence. It has been estimated that 17.5 million people die each year in India from cardiovascular diseases, amounting to 31% of all deaths worldwide.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Untreated hypertension and diabetes can lead to serious and often fatal health complications. Unfortunately, in the absence of the practice of regular health screenings, a large number of obese people in the city continue to live with undiagnosed blood pressure and blood sugar related conditions till date, as various screening tests revealed during the health camp. The camp adopted a comprehensive approach on preventive cardiology using finest expertise, technology, and medical equipment (including ECG Machine, B.P. Apparatus, glucometer and strips).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">“For many of our patients in the recent past, we have witnessed that screening test results have served as wake-up calls. When they discover high blood pressure, cholesterol or abnormal sugar profile, they tend to become more conscious. In this screening clinic, we aimed to provide cardiac screening to people of all age groups at a minimal expense. It is imperative to keep a check on your health vitals every now and then, and hence, we at the medical fraternity are urging everyone to come forward for periodic screenings, and today’s camp was a small yet significant effort in that direction,” adds Dr Deepak Katyal, DM Cardiology, Columbia Asia Hospital, Patiala.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">One of the biggest contributors to the rising number of heart attacks in the country is the lack of commitment to a heart healthy lifestyle. Doctors at Columbia Asia Hospitals suggest you to undergo screening tests if you have symptoms like hypertension, breathlessness, and chest pain, or co-morbidities such as obesity and diabetes, as well as for anyone over the age of 40. Apart from the investigations and consultation, the patients were also dispensed valuable personal advice on the need for maintaining a healthy heart at today’s camp. Columbia Asia Hospital strongly believes that focusing on treatment is no longer the only option; equal emphasis needs to be put on preventive education, when it comes to heart health.</span></div>
