Corona is a contagious and airborn disease caused by a virus called Covid-19. Whose infection rate is extremely high but mortality is low. Covid-19 is a fast-moving, powerful virus that infects healthy people through the mouth, nose and eyes of infected patients, as well as rapidly attacking and damaging the respiratory, cardiac, renal and gastro-intestinal systems of infected patients.
However, people suffering from pneumonia, asthma, heart disease, diabetes and kidney disease are more affected. Whose number is only 5% -10%. The remaining 90% -95% of people have a high level of immunity, so they can't do much harm, and with a little treatment and a diet that increases immunity in the human body, it gets better.
Bangladesh is fast moving to Qatar, one of the most contagious countries in the world, as the coronary infection and death march continues. Perhaps the scientific reason is that the death rate in those countries is much higher. However, if we had weapons like theirs to survive the Corona War, the death toll of Corona patients in this country might not be so high.
Corona is being tested quickly using rapid test kits in different countries of the world, such as South Korea, China, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Iran, etc. Among the countries that have been able to control corona are South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc.
It is true that the capacity of the Government of Bangladesh to diagnose, prevent and treat corona in various parameters has increased more than ever before. There is no doubt that RTPCR test is a good system. But at the rate at which people are being infected, it is by no means possible to make a laboratory-based testing system like RTPCR open to all infected corona patients across the country.
On the other hand, while going to the laboratory for testing, a healthy person in a crowded environment is being attacked by coming in contact with a sick person. Delays in receiving treatment due to late receipt of reports from the affected person; Others become physically and mentally weak. The infected person is spreading the disease among others without testing for fear of embarrassment.
With the increasing number of corona patients and mortality rates, it seems that there is a special need to change the ongoing testing and treatment strategies.
A. The ‘Corona Control Action Committee’ can be formed with eminent progressive thoracic specialists, medical experts and public health experts of the country. Those who have prepared a Time Bound Road Map for the prevention and control of corona and will implement the SOP to implement it will take steps to reduce the death and spread rate of corona within the desired time under government sponsorship.
B. In addition to corona patient identification on the RTPCR machine, corona rapid test kits are used to quickly diagnose the disease and provide the necessary treatment and prevent the spread of corona from one person to another. In this case, if it is not possible to procure test kits domestically, it should be imported from abroad quickly and made available for testing to all patients. This allows the suspected patient to easily identify the disease and isolate himself and not spread the disease to others. The pressure on RTPCR will decrease. Coronal proliferation will be reduced. In the early stages of the disease, the patient's physical condition is relatively good. Thus, proper treatment at an early stage increases the chances of any patient recovering, resulting in a reduction in mortality.
Another advantage of using a test kit in the corona is that the presence of corona antibodies in the patient's body is determined in this procedure. So it will be easier to prepare Plasma Therapy by collecting the blood of those patients after enrollment. If a person can buy a corona test kit from a pharmacy and have a corona test done at home, at a pharmacy or at a nearby health center, they will be able to receive treatment separately even if they are infected. And if the condition is worse, you can go to the Refferal Hospital quickly and recover with proper treatment.
C. In addition to big cities, especially in District Headquarters and Medical College Hospitals, Corona and Ventilation facilities have been enriched to improve Corona Refferal Hospitals to ensure speedy treatment of complex Corona patients across the countr
D. To ensure proper treatment of all patients staying at their respective homes in all parts of the country (publicly or secretly) in addition to hospitals by tracing and tracking by government statistics. So that no patient dies without treatment or malpractice and no patient can spread the disease in the family, society or community. To motivate the students of all the universities and colleges across the country in patriotism as well as the government employees required for this and to appoint them as volunteers. Those who roam the city-port-village will collect corona patient information, gain their treatment and cure, motivate the public to wear masks and maintain social distance.
E. Provide ward level health care centers in upazila hospitals, community clinics and especially in city corporation areas with Oxygen Concentration or Oximeter to determine the prevalence of the disease in the body of the corona patient.
In order to diagnose the severity of the disease in the slightly infected patients, it can be improved by taking appropriate measures as soon as possible as per the guideline given by the specialist doctors and the mortality rate can be reduced by sending the more infected patients to the referral hospital. In this way, I think the corona mortality rate and corona spread from person to person will come under control at some point.
F. To prevent the spread of corona by forcing the people to abide by the rules of health such as ‘isolating the infected person from others, wearing a mask, maintaining social distance’ etc. In addition to the steps taken by the law enforcement agencies in this regard, especially during the Jumu'ah prayers, with the help of the Imams, it is essential to raise awareness among the worshipers about the prevention of Corona infection.
In the current world, South Korea is the most successful country in corona control. Corona infection was first diagnosed in South Korea on January 20, 2020. On January 26, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Center (KCDC) called on the country's specialist doctors, executive officers of pharmaceutical companies and other public-private sector experts to assist in preparing the necessary equipment and road map to deal with corona.As a result, they began to prepare the equipment needed for the Corona War, such as personal protective equipment for everyone, test kits, other diagnostic products and other necessary medical supplies. About 30 companies are given government licenses to manufacture test kits, which are being exported to 120 countries to meet the demand of their respective countries. As the prevalence of corona infections increased, all citizens began to place a high priority on wearing masks and maintaining social distance. Diagnosis with test kits is preferred. In order to identify the corona, the suspects are not gathered in one place but the Drive Through and Walk Through methods are used to diagnose the disease by examining the corona of the people in the streets, shops, houses, offices and courts. As a result, it is possible to diagnose each patient in a maximum of 10 minutes. Thus, in about three weeks, 10,726 patients were identified by examining the corona of 270,000 people. Infected patients are encouraged to stay separate. The Chest-X-Ray AI Image Support Decision Tool is used to diagnose the prevalence of the disease in a few seconds. , 617 (61%) patients were cured and 242 (2.3%) Covid-19 patients died and HR CT may be highly effective to diagnosed COVID 19.
When (August 28 2020) at least 1lac 80thousand people in the United States and more than 200,000 people in Spain, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom died of COVID 19 (Worldometer 2020). In this way, the people of South Korea were able to control the Corona, which has a population of 50 million, in about three weeks, without any kind of lockdown, while keeping the overall life in the country active. Corona control is a terrible war, so the participation of all the people in this country is vital. We must all win the Corona War by participating.
Vaccine and anti COVID 19 spcific medicines can eradicate the deadly corona virus pandemic from the World. Many countries including Bangladesh trying to get the Vaccine. 3rd phase trials is going on In UK USA China India and many more country’s. Russia also claiming for confirmation but not yet open and not yet approved by WHO.
Our honourable prime minister Sheikh Hasina trying her level best to get the vaccine againt covid 19 and approval has been given for china vaccine trial.
Finally i do hope Very soon we will be able to invent The Vaccine againt covid 19 and will be able to eradicates the deadly corona virus pandemic from the whole world and our all mankind will be safe and sound.
