Covid-19 Discipline and Practice that might help

The entire world is going through a great crisis due to the #covid19. I am daily watching the news, the social media and the advise being given by the doctors and the state government, the central government. Social distancing is the only viable solution in thses times to avoid the spread of infection and the Government has announced a complete lock down for 21 days and this was the only solution to stop the spread. Every citizen of the country has a responsibility to follow the mandate given by the government. Hopefully we will get through this situation as nothing bad or good lasts for very long.

As per the news and some the information on the social media I have been given to understand that the virus once it enters the human body stays in the windpipe for some time and if washed down with warm water reaches the intestines and could be killed with the gastric acid. The main thing that the virus does is it promotes the formation of mucous resulting in airways getting blocked and slowly infects the lungs and that is where the real respiratory problem starts resulting in further complications resulting in other organs getting affected . Thought of a simple solution where we can try to prevent this. The head member of the family should give 200 ml of hot/ warm water every 4 hours to every member of the family for the next 21 days. We can keep an alarm every 4 hours on our mobile to remind us may be at 10 am 2 pm 6 pm 10 pm. Timings can be customized to suit every family. Hot/ warm water will not allow the mucous to form and even in case it is there will be washed down into the stomach. We don't lose anything doing this. Drinking hot / warm water will also help in reducing the weight. With summer setting in it will keep us hydrated also. The task of giving the hot water to the members of the family should not be delegated to any other person because joint responsibility becomes no one's responsibility. At times the things that are easiest to do are also the things that are not done. In case you can follow it for the next 21 days and document it this may help your family. Please note that this is not a medical advise. In case of any problem seek the services of doctors.
