With the second wave of corona epidemic in the country, experts are concerned about the knock of the Delta Plus variant. Dr. Randeep Guleria, Director, AIIMS, New Delhi, said on Thursday that there is not enough data on the Delta Plus variant to know how deadly and contagious it is.
Dr. Guleria said that if people follow the rules according to Corona and get vaccinated, then they can be safe even from the newly found variant. If everyone takes all precautions, the third wave will not come or it can be stopped. Regarding the Delta Plus variant, he said that this form of the virus can betray the immune system, this too will be known only after sufficient data is available.
On the occasion of Doctor's Day, Dr. Guleria also remembered the doctors and medical personnel who fought a direct battle with Corona who gave their lives to save the lives of others. He said that the doctors have been fighting the pandemic for the past year. We have to appreciate their work. We also have to remember that they have given their lives to save our lives. We also have to try our level so that the cases of infection do not increase and everyone remains safe during the pandemic.
Violence against doctors lowers morale
Dr. Guleria said that cases of violence against doctors who treat people risking their lives during the pandemic are constantly coming to the fore. Such incidents lower the morale of doctors. It directly affects the patient. Everyone should oppose violence against doctors, such accidents are the biggest threat to the medical place.
Brainstorming on the mixed dose of vaccine
Dr. Guleria said that the churning is going on regarding the mixed dose of the Corona vaccine. He said that it will take time to use two different vaccine doses as more data is needed on this. Preliminary results have shown that it is effective but side effects have been seen more. He also said that where there are more cases of infection, strictness is necessary.
