The coronavirus is brand new to the whole world. Where did it come from? How will stop What is the treatment? Nobody knows anything right now. But one thing has been proved 100 percent right that it can be prevented from social distancing. The same weapon has been adopted in countries that have overcome it. In India too, social distancing is being asked to do. And that's why the government had to lockdown. But how long will this social distancing last?

At the beginning of the last century, when the First World War was ending, a virus attacked the world. Which took over a quarter of the world's population. We know this epidemic today as Spanish flu. This epidemic killed five to ten crore people all over the world.

Spanish flu

During this pandemic in 1918, many cities in America were preparing for the Liberty Bond Parade. Through this parade, funds were being raised to help European countries in the war. The chiefs of the cities of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania decided to perform these parades despite the epidemic.

While 600 soldiers living in these cities were already suffering from the Spanish flu virus. Nevertheless, a decision was taken to take out the parade here. The St. Louis and Missouri states canceled their parade. And taking other steps to prevent people from accumulating. The result has been that in Philadelphia, more than ten thousand people died due to Spanish flu in a month. Whereas St. Louis, which did not allow people to gather there, the death toll was less than 700. That is, people in St. Louis survived due to social distancing.

Many examples of this in history

Aristam Basu, a specialist in epidemics and infectious diseases in New Zealand, says that social distancing means preventing two or more people from meeting in private. And it acts as a big barrier to the spread of the virus. Social distancing is being resorted to worldwide to stop Kovid-19.

There are many examples of this in history. In 1918, the United States also banned public celebrations in many cities. Schools, theaters, churches were all closed. After a century, the world is going through the same phase once again. But in this century, the world population has increased by 6 billion more than the population of that period. COVID-19 is also not the same as the Spanish flu virus. It is also a subject of virus research for scientists. Currently, the only way to overcome this is social distancing. Through this, the infection chain of Kovid-19 can be broken.

Social distancing

Almost all countries are advising people to stay indoors, follow lockdown and social distancing. Its purpose is only and only to prevent people from coming into contact with infected people. Self-isolation and quarantine are different forms of social distancing.

This phase of social distancing is going to be a little longer. According to a report by Harvard University, this practice of social distancing in the US may continue until 2022. However, this report is yet to be published in any academic journal. It is expected that by 2022 COVID-19 vaccines and drugs will be discovered. But until then social distancing and quarantine will have to be followed. If the cycle of weather has some effect on this virus, it is possible that the virus will become active again at the end of the year. A person infected with Kovid-19 infects an average of 2 to 3 individuals.
