Please Understand...

Dear #linkedinconnections with #covid19pandemic getting worse across few #tips:

1) #covidー19 positive report means nothing, there are other #criteria before we can say its bad and that your #doctor or #healthcare worker will decide and guide accordingly

2) CT Scan is only needed in severe cases and may not be needed, so don't get #anxious and rush to get the san and see the #scores - it will be advised if deemed needed

3) Get #pulseoximeter and #thermometer and keep checking on a regular basis

4) Understand #prevention is the best #treatment

5) Please do #steaminhalation twice daily

6) If there are no #restrictions, #hydrate yourself

7) Have a #spirometer or #blow #balloons

8) Take a #nutrious #diet

9) Try searching for a #hospital bed only if SpO2 falls below 90 and or if you cannot get #homecare under #physician #supervision even with Oxygen falling below 90. If you physician advises you don't have indication for #admission, #trust them

10) Remember majority don't need hospitalization or monitored care and the #rush is what is #killing #people

11) Hospitals are for those with #severe disease and those with #comorbidities that can make matters #worse fast. Accidents on the road can happen, just for that will you stay at home? So try for a bed/oxygen only if advised by your doctor and don't do it yourself

12) Have a #positive #mindset, remember #anxiety #tension and #stress will increase #oxygen demand and reduce your fight

13) Don't spread #whatsapp #university #forwards until or otherwise you are absolutely sure of the #post

14) #nutritious food and #healthy #lifestyle is a must

15) Try avoiding #smoking and #alcohol or watching too much of #television and #newschannels

16) Always consult and take #medications as per your #physicians advise, do not self medicate yourself based on #socialmedia

17) Do good and #help others, #scientific studies have shown certain #chemicals are secreted that makes you feel good and #healthy when you help others

18) #friends, #party, visiting #relatives, can all wait but #goodhealth once lost is lost. Wait for the #pandemic to get over before you start all these.

19) Certain drugs are in #shortage, because people think they are #panacea and #wonderdrug which is far from truth, these drugs and #antibiotics are not needed for everyone, if needed it will be advised by your doctor.

20) Remember you too have a role to play and any misinformation, unnecessarily occupying beds, spreading #rumors' and #falsemessages #stocking drugs and other #essentials, making use of the #pandemic all will hurt you at a time when you least expect it.

21) Remember it has taken us #years to assess and #triage and treat #patients, #medicine is not by #googling or reading from #socialmedia University, always consult your doctor/physician before any treatment.

22) Understand you are not #god or #superhero, so #mask yourself...

23) If you are not able to get your physician or doctor then you can inbox me and will try to help, but please don't spam or fill the inbox with #second #third #fourth opinion requests, this is just for guidance and not for #treatment purposes. Already we doctors are swamped both in our #workplace and outside of it but we do understand peoples current state of mind

24) We were relaxing and feeling happy when others were hit and the cycle can repeat elsewhere too, so don't think that your friends, neighbors are affected and that you don't need to be worried, always be prepared and help others, there is only so much any #government can do

25) Finally before you #post #criticise anyone think whether it will of any use or #help someone during these times, if it is not then please don't...

26) Remember - What goes Around will Come Around, it is each and everyone's responsibility to help and come out of this worldwide...
