Confusion galore on Covid Fear and anxieties apart information on safety ,drugs etc confusing day by day from none other than medical fraternity THE use of variety of sanitizers, masks,shields in the market are vying for their share Then there are food substitutes and various drugs,formulations and concoctions promoted as immunity boosters sidelining natural foods Doctors are disputing about HCQ effectiveness and so is dexamethasone, remdesvir flaviparavir etc known to cause side effects ,depression etc. There is extreme hesitancy , apprehension , scepticism about vaccines . Some stages are bypassed and are now on human trial stage, and which cannot be expedited on any account. The long term and side effects are a real worry for fast tracking the vaccine The profit motive of pharmaceutical companies is real concerns even though Govt and philanthropic institutions are extending huge Grant's in subsidies There is contradictions about whether it is a virus or bacteria..Deaths are believed to be caused by embolism in heart lungs etc Effectiveness of masks and sanitizers is questioned . Lockdowns have postponed the inevitable and social distancing, avoiding large gatherings is the panacea Some argue and are of the opinion that it is a mere flu .cough ancold and be treated so. Why then deaths in millions with vprolonged effects on lungs kidneys and heart.Then why the infection, contagion spreading like wild fire across Nations and communities and have resulted in deaths in millions? It is highly contagious no doubt about it and the possibility of spread through aerosol is real threat The antigen tests are unreliable the SOP for symptomatic patients alone is ridden with contradictions and procedures There is too much information and miss information floating around WHO is not helping in clarification Will people adopt vaccine without hesitation and at a prohibitive cost of production that marginalized will be left ot in the cold
