They say "Prevention is better than cure", but they never said, "to prevent you need to feel the fear of it". Yes, we are talking about the corona chaos only.
As no deaths due to the coronavirus outbreak crossed more than 4000, and the WHO announced it as a pandemic. The no of affected people and death in countries like the USA and Italy is increasing rapidly day by day. Few countries have started closing their borders, stoped visa processings to control the inflow of viruses from affected countries.
But still many countries are not prepared to handle it if it spreads through. With the lack of equippements and facilities to test, lack of hygiene it will be impossible to control in countries like India if it spreads in any metro cities especially.
Even though the sources said the virus will be spreading from the second week from affecting date, but you cant be really sure about it. So it is possible the virus can So here why we should be scared
Lack of hygiene and facility
Yes, This is one of the main reason why should be scared to prepare. Now the test equipment which is available only govt hospital. Given the conditions and no of ICU wards in the hospital we will come to a point where we will have to choose the patients. When it comes to hygiene I don't even have to say anything about this, we almost never washed hands unless we have to eat food. Even myself I never used any sanitizer in myself, but recently I bought for 1000rs just to safeguard for future (sorry for being selfish).
Attitude
The typical Indian attitude "let's see if it comes " or in Tamil, they say "Vantha pathukalam" or if you want me to say in Hindi "chalta hai". This is one reason which makes us not prepare for anything of this sort until it affects us. So leave this mindset aside for some time and follow good hygiene.
False news and Forward Messages
Remember the Whatsapp forward messages which we used to get earlier which says if you forward this message 15 times you will see god etc. Now it is being replaced by corona treatment messages. if you have lemon with lukewarm water it will cure, turmeric with hot water will cure. So please follow only official sites and news for updates. And be scared to prepare so that we can prevent it before it spreads more.
Some of the official sites to follow
