Most of us are tense, in different degrees though. Some fighting it, some struggling to stay safe and some wondering, how much is too much... or, too less for that matter.
Its going to be long, so request you to be patient, go through please, if you decide, and read slowly... pondering at places, and try to figure out the intent, if the words fall inadequate.
Plan to post this in the residential society, where I live, groups too. Fortunately, society is blessed with so much telent, learnt and knowledgeable persons, that I fear ridicule.
I'm retired now, and have given up even what I studied, earned degree and practiced through. I prefer to be a common man, with common sense. I don't expect anyone to agree, or follow either. Views are my personal, स्वान्त्य सुखाय :, love it, or hate it... but will not ignore it, I hope.
I'll start with statements on two common pathies, hope I'm right, and many of you might already know that.
Allopathy physician relies on medicines, with reduce the symptoms and discomfort of ailing person, cf a homeopathic will look for the combination, producing symptons and disforts in a healthy person, similar to the patient. The same combination, in super dilution cures the disease. Strangely, more the dilution, done in a piculiar fashion, raises the potency. Concept of antibodies, the basis of plasma therapy, also underline the benevolent importance of disease causing elements.
I wish to share a true incident too. My brother in law, who's in medical fraternity of national fame now, got married to a qualified gynaecologist, and was blessed with a boy, the first child. Armed with hygienic safety procedures, the boy was brought up, with ultimate precautions, and zero let up. Nil, issues for one year, and then the child had to go nanihal, for his eldest Mama's marriage, where safety to the level, maintained till now, was practically impossible. Simple filtered water, brought the safety shield down to the ground, and he was tossed for chronic dysentry. So severe, that he had to be rushed to a super speciality, and could be controlled, after tremendous efforts for quite some time, possibly because both parents were inside professionals.
Having learnt the lesson, the boy was put on normal safety protocols, toning down the superlative precautions.
The safety, decided for the poor kid, was too much.
Even nice things may bring harm, in broader context, if in excess of reason, same as dreadful things, within limits, may bring benefits in the larger context. How do you make vaccines, otherwise ? My point.
Now, the main point.
Granted the hypothetical ultimate, nil virus contact to the inmates of ES. Should we celebrate it ? I may be in minority, but my verdict is no, when the lock down is taken off, and the residents are exposed to general public, fortunately, or unfortunately, not so disciplined, and sincere, it may be reconsidered.
I'd argue two fold strategy. One, controlling the virus exposure within logical limits, to prevent the menace of desease spread, and two, exposing to within rational limits, to help create antibodies in particular, and boosting immunity in general. My belief is based on presumption, that exposure upto certain limit won't pose serious danger, but produce antibodies and strengthen immunity, and will make you strong enough to survive general exposures. Exposure, only in excess of certain limit, in excess of immunity strength, will harm.
Don't expect anybody to agree necesarrily, or start behaving in line, cause I think so. Treat this as a disclaimer.
Criticisms are welcome though.
आज इतना ही, शेष फिर कभी, अगर इस लायक बचा रहा 😀
