Yeah Baby When You See Me Coming
Yeah You Better Run For Cover
Cos You Know When I Find You, I’m Gonna Be Your Lover.
Tujhse Log Kahenge, Na Kar Ignore Mujhe
Mein Toh Lakh Bura Hoon, Neend Chura Loon, Hosh Uda Doon
Main Toh Baahon Mein Le Ke, Raah Bhula Doon, Baat Bigaad Doon
Chahe Jahaan Khud Ko Chupaa, Baaton Hi Baaton Main,
Ek Mulaqat Mein Le Loon….
Bachna O Insaano, Lo Mein Aa Gaya
Ae Insaano O logo, Lo Mein Aa Gaya
Insaano Ka Aashiq, Vaccino Ka Dushman
Apni Ada Hai Auron Se Juda, Hai Ho. Bachna O Insaano.
Yes, we have heard this song and loved this song. Apologies for twisting the lyrics a bit, but that’s exactly what this Omicron Virus must be singing and laughing at us.
Why?
Did I hear you asking Why?
Okay so what is this Omicron variant of Corona virus? We have read, experiencing and believe that this variant is:
- Not severe
- Will Not cause Death
- Will not need Hospitalization or Oxygen
- Is type of a regular Viral or Flu
- And many believe that this Omicron virus variant is actually a vaccine to Delta variant and would eventually kill the deadly Delta variant.
I shall say, Caveat Emptor.
So, does anyone have an answers to or actually question what happened to Delta variant or the previous variants / mutations of this Corona virus which stopped the world? Did they Die or flew away into space to infect another planet? Or because they mutated into another variant, hence they stopped existing. Hmm, is that so?
Ok, what is the purpose of me writing this blog or rather talking about this Omicron which seems like our savior?
Even if we do not have much knowledge of these viruses or want to believe in what we are reading and hearing, then can we just ask these very basic and simple questions;
If this is not a severe variant and would not kill us, does not require hospitalization etc. etc. then why are countries going back to lockdowns? Why are restrictions coming back? Why are governments imposing CoVid protocols? If the above reasons are true, then should we all Pray to get infected? Shouldn't we all go out and party, so we get infected and hence become immune and then kill this spoilsport and party-spoiler virus? Shouldn't we proactively get infected and create heard immunity? Shouldn’t Governments encourage us all for this?
No, it is not that, it does not work like that. Think a bit and you would get the answer.
The real reason for me to write this blog is that
I suspect we are soon going to get infected by a much more deadly variant.
This Omicron variant, what it first did is moved away from Droplet method (reason why social distancing protocols helped curtail its spread) of spreading the virus to becoming Air-borne by befriending its less notorious distant cousin, the common cold-cough virus & Flu and through them or rather piggy-backing them, it made coronavirus airborne and hence Omicron is spreading at much faster rate. Now if it is airborne then social distancing does not help, one can get infected even if you are indoors, because air flows from outside into our homes, offices, and workshops, everywhere. That's why people who are vaccinated, wearing masks, and not venturing out, are also getting infected. No, I am not making a statement here that one should stop wearing a mask and stay indoors. On the contrary, we have to wear a mask or masks (two)… actual masks and not those ordinary cloth mask (fashionable, flimsy or home-made masks), or cover our nose-n-mouth with handkerchief etc. That will not help. We need to wear an N95 mask or other medically tested and approved mask which stops bacteria, & virus and over that a double or triple layer mask (which could be a cloth or disposable surgical mask), cover as much as possible all exposed skin and wash up with soap and wash your clothes immediately before you touch anything. Keep yourself hydrated, drink hot/warm beverages as often as possible, and practice all those immune building diet and exercises.
Please Do Not take this Omicron variant lightly, because I suspect that this is a Trojan Virus.
What it is doing is entering our systems, staying in the upper respiratory tracts of our lungs (so there is not much difficulty in breathing or high fever etc.) or attacks or Gut, Digestive System and we ignore it as a common Flu, which is prevalent during this time of the year, (that's why it is also being called as Flurona) and weakening our system from inside. That is, it is marking the people who have got infected with Omicron, creating a space or room inside our body. In 4-5 days of taking meds and other medical actions & steps, we start feeling alright and healthy again and start living in the assumption (false assumption) of having built antibodies to now fight corona virus and hence we become carefree and (further) lower our guards. And that's exactly what this Fox of a variant Omicron’s objective is, because (I am very sure) there is a much more dangerous, severe, and highly infectious (airborne) variant in making, which would be camouflaged under Omicron’s cape and attack the world soon.
It would first attack all those who had been infected with a milder version of this virus, which we today know as Omicron. This Virus will attack us from two sides;
- From inside that is all those who had/have been infected with Omicron and recovered, the virus is still inside you and will mutate inside with another non-severe or not dangerous virus or maybe in this case with a bacterium and form a new deadlier variant. And worst is that it is already inside you, and you would suddenly get sick… very sick without even realizing what caused the infection.
- And second attack would be from outside where this Omicron would mutate with its predecessors like Delta or others and form a much more deadly variant, which because of Omicron would be airborne and infect all of us much faster and more severe. We all would be like sitting-ducks ready to be attacked (infected) either from inside and/or outside.
I don't have any concrete answers on how we can protect ourselves from this inevitable attack, except that we should be extremely vigilant, take precautions, stop living in fool’s paradise or false belief of built immunity. Take all precautions like;
- Get vaccinated; cocktail vaccinations are showing good results, like CoviShiled with Pfizer (but just don't attempt to mix any vaccine. Clinical trials are still going on)
- Mask up. Proper masks
- Talk less, especially in this weather, because when we talk, our speech has higher volumes of moisture in this weather, which causes our mask to get damp/wet leading to higher concentration of virus/bacteria sticking to them, not just yours but others which are floating in the air and infect us.
- Eat healthy
- Daily Exercises, especially Cardio to improve and strengthen your Heart and Lungs
- Comorbid people, don't miss out on your meds and be extra vigilant
- Improve your immunity by eating nutritious foods
- Avoid exposing skin and wash your clothes with disinfectants regularly
- Don't overuse Sanitizers because they compromise your immunity and also the virus and bacteria would soon become immune to them.
Lastly, keep in touch with your family and friends and try helping each other. Be strong, Be Positive because we can overcome this only if we are together… Only If We Are Together, We Can Defeat This Virus.
