Noticeable debacles on the part of public and political parties at the outset of Phase-2 of Covid pandemic in India ( a collective analysis )

 

                     Covid Phase-2 noticeable debacles

 

* Central Govt's decision to clear approvals on fast track basis for vaccines used in other countries is a welcome gesture in recognition of the sheer magnitude of the surging magnitude of the second Covid wave .

 

* It is also a grave issue for the officials to adhere to strict appropriate norms which needs to be followed both on the part of the officials as well as the public to adhere to best possible appropriate norms along with spread of the dangerous infection across the country

 

* Along with the Kumbh Mela of some sort , the Covid Tika Divas ensues after a grand function in the form of the "Paschim Bengal" elections which is again a grand amalgamation of people and opinions contained within a densely packed state population which is widely known for its celebrations be it religious ,spiritual , political or opinion based , the state celebrates all the forms of functions on a wide scale with mass gatherings and rallies of swarming people .

 

* This should have atleast called for sensitizing the general populace to adhere to all the mandatory guidelines , code of conduct for assemby and get togethers or rallies but it seems all these have again went for a toss as masses were noticed with no masks . Same situation is again on the notice in neighbouring Odisha where Panchayat Elections are to be held . Again precautions need to be set in place for people who attend any form of rallies or public gatherings as this is the utmost and basic need of the hour in order to curb the spread of the virus which travels in air and gets propagated from infected (be it mild/moderate/severe case) person to person

 

* I am no authority or person in charge to look upon the persisting conditions and what should someone be mindful about when people are in public during these pandemic periods of disease transmission but still then I think some there should be enforcement of law and order by people in charge of high offices within the confines of govenmental powers and positions to keep inculcating civic sense through all possible mediums of communication be in print or through telecom to convey the guidelines at all possible times as I and probably most of the people less or more similar to me have shorter memory spans and attention deficit disorder because of which getting misdirected is not so uncommon , but as because times are critical and the forecast for the second phase of pandemic

is an onset of a ghastlier trail of infections and deaths , a diligent adherence of strictness in the coming months is of paramount importance

 

* The current visuals from Gujarat , MP and Chattisgarh is not much encouraging and looks like the second wave has hit hard which is a grave warning to rest of the people in other states to adhere to proper Covid behaviour , mask up rather double mask up and to get vaccinated ... ( though I am yet to get vaccinated or receive vaccine, as I am not yet sure which vaccine should one take ... out of all the existing known options .. lol )

 

* Another funny thing I came across in one article is how some big politicians and Netas have started demanding VIP treatment from medicals and hospitals in the wake of this crisis which has infuriated some of the doctors and doctors associations.. Here the doctors forget to just chillax as we have been taught to idolise our great politicians , cricketers and filmstars as nothing less than demigods , and so getting a grand treatment from public including doctors , engineers is a sort of entitlement which nobody can negate .. so chillax .

 

* Another point that I would probably like to bring into picture is approval of foreign vaccines without passing through phase2 , phase-3 or whatsoever number of trials to be catered to India's population is a digrace from natural biological behaviour as what I presume is that the vaccines which have been procured from other countries may not be that much effective in our case as most of the people of India and south-east Asia have a different genetic makeup which is different from that of Americas , or that of Europe , Australia and hence administering the vaccine which has been created from samples belonging to other countries may not work out well ( Though I have to be optimistic about them as my domain and forte are different , hence I may not call myself an analyst in this field )

 

* I would acknowledge once again that some of the things that I have mentioned in this collected and referred article is an opinion of my own and may be seen as a case of counter opinion to popular opinion from a general public ( You can happily call me a dimwitand nota virtuoso if some of the points have not been put very appropriately as written by noted columnists and writers for lack of great jargons and plausible points or the lack of proper statistical figures ... its all upto the readers discretion )

 

Govt fast-tracks nod for vaccine procurement from other countries on emergency basis

 

Govt fast-tracks nod for vaccine

 

* Vaccines authorised by World health Organisation or Vaccine Regulators in US ,Europe , UK and Japan would be granted an emergency use approval in India mandating requirement of post-approval parallel bridging clinical trials

 

* First 100 beneficiaries of such vaccines shall be kept for assessment for 7 daysfor safety outcomes before they are rolled out across the entire country as per reports in the leading newspapers in India

 

* Among the healthcare giants , one of the largest drug manufacturing organisation Pfizer has a production capacity of 2.5 billion doses per annum and almost 1.6 billion confirmed dose purchases . From this one can confer that India has 900 million doses that India could tap into for procurement.

 

* Moderna and Johnson&Johnson , two of the largest drug manufacturers and retailers have also bid in equal terms for the same and in the process have taken in more orders than what could be produced

 

* On 12th April , Govt of India also granted permission permission for restricted emergency use of Russian vaccine Sputnik V

 

* The aforementioned regulatory approvals are intended to increase the availability of the jabs amidst a steep second wave of the infection .

 

* The vaccines can be imported in a ready- to use vial cylinder bottles or in the form of fill and use form
