WASHINGTON: The State Department announced to provide one million dollars to Pakistan to help fight coronavirus.

"The US-Pakistan government partnership is helping fight Covid-19," the State Department said in a tweet adding, that the US government was responding to Covid-19 in Pakistan with "initial $1 million" in US Agency for International Development funding to bolster monitoring & rapid response.

The US and Pakistan are longstanding partners in tackling global health challenges, the tweet, signed off by Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, further said.

It also highlighted that there are 100+ recent Pakistani graduates of CDC's epidemiology lab training on the ground investigating Covid-19 cases in Gilgit-Baltistan and Punjab right now. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the leading national public health institute in the United States.

Meanwhile, the US Mission in Pakistan has also suspended its routine consular services. A statement from the State Department in this regard said that the government of Pakistan was implementing enhanced screening measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19. "Travelers should be prepared for travel restrictions to be out into effect with a little or no advance notice."

The statement advised that US citizens considering returning to the United States "are urged to work their airlines to make travel arrangements while flights are still available."

First of all, before I get into immune boosting tips, I would like to say that it is important that you isolate yourselves as much as you can without compromising your life.

Talk to a doctor before considering any internet advice. As far as i am concerned, I have reached a point where allopathic system is unable to help me with my chronic ailments. So I personally have turned to Ayurveda with surprisingly good results. People in West are also turning towards Ayurveda; they just call it natural medicine. This does not mean allopathic medicine is useless. I am simply suggesting that it has some limits and it is important to understand those limits and seek alternative treatment when necessary.

Here are few things that have worked for me when dealing with immune system problems:

a. Exercise: It boosts the metabolism and high metabolism enhances your immune system.

b. Fasting: When I switched to one meal a day, I made remarkable progress as far as my general health is concerned.

c. Stomach: Make sure to take probiotics and prebiotics if you have yeast infection in your stomach. Stomach problem can degrade your immune system.

d. Inflammation: Make sure to treat your chronic inflammation with some sort of daily treatment. In my case, one quarter spoon of turmeric every day keeps my gout under control. Before turmeric I used to take allopurinol and it nearly damaged my kidney and the worst part was that it did not help.

e. Attention: Pay attention to your body. Study it and try to find a treatment that will keep your chronic aliment under control. There is a wealth of knowledge on the topic of natural medicine in various online journals.

Why Italy? The factors behind a coronavirus disaster - Times of India



ROME: Why Italy? Loads of people have been wondering why the beautiful Mediterranean country has become the new epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic.
Experts list a range of reasons -- from Italy's relatively high age to its strained healthcare system to some old fashioned bad luck -- that add up to a disaster not seen in generations.

None of the answers alone explain why the nation of 60 million accounts for over a third of the nearly 11,500 deaths officially reported across the 7.7-billion strong world.
But other countries will want to examine each of these factors and address them through various preventive measures in their bids to avoid becoming the next Italy.
One of the first factors almost everyone who looks at the figures points to is Italians' average age.
It is high.
The median age of the overall population was 45.4 last year -- greater than anywhere else in Europe.
It is also seven years higher than the median age in China and slightly above that of South Korea.
Figures released Friday showed the age of Italians dying of COVID-19 averaging out at 78.5.
Almost 99 percent of them were also suffering from at least one pre-existing condition or ailment.
Italy's mortality rate among those infected with the virus is thus a relatively high 8.6 percent.
"COVID-19 fatalities are hitting older age groups hard," University of Oxford professor Jennifer Dowd noted on Twitter.
"Countries with older populations will need to take more aggressive protective measures to stay below the threshold of critical cases that outstrip health system capacities," Dowd said.
Yet Japan's median age of 47.3 makes it an even older nation than Italy -- and it has just 35 officially registered deaths.
So age is clearly not the only factor.
Some scientists think that it could really have been almost any other country after China.
"I think the question of 'Why Italy?' is the most important question and it has a simple answer: No reason at all," Yascha Mounk of Johns Hopkins University told Canada's CBC television.
"The only thing that makes Italy different is that the first couple of (locally-transmitted) cases arrived in Italy about 10 days before they arrived in Germany, the United States or Canada."
More than 4,000 people have died in Italy in the month since a 78-year-old builder from the Lombardy region of Milan became the first known European fatality of COVID-19.
European nations such as Spain and France are now following Italy's trajectory and could theoretically have as many deaths and infections in a few weeks.
"If other countries are not going to react in exactly the right way, they are going to become Italy," said Mounk.
The grim reality learned across Italy's devastated north is that diseases start spreading much faster once the healthcare system reaches its saturation point.
Doctors have to start making life and death decisions about whom they help first -- and why -- when they run out of equipment such as respirators and even beds.
"Sometimes you have to weigh the chances of success against the patient's condition," Brescia hospital's emergency unit head Paolo Terragnoli told AFP this week.
"We try to do our best for everyone, while doing an extra something for those who have better chances."
Old and frail patients who are turned away are extremely contagious and -- tragically but realistically -- fated to die.
One of the Italian government's gravest fears is that the virus will start spreading to Italy's much poorer and far less equipped south.
The world has suddenly realised that it does not have enough test kits to screen for COVID-19.
Nations such as Italy dealt with this problem by only testing those who already exhibited symptoms such as a fever and a dry cough.
South Korea had the kits and the means to conduct more than 10,000 tests a day.
Germany followed a similar model and its death rate began to drop once even the mild COVID-19 infections began being counted.


This partially explains both why Italy's mortality rate is so high and why COVID-19 was contained faster in some other countries.
Harvard University professor Michael Mina said that 100,000 tests per day "might be optimal" for a country such as the United States.

interesting. so if we hit approx 360 cases by today midnight (end of day 21 march), we are going down that exponential patch and hence fucked.
We are fucked anyway . It has already reached tier 2 cities like jabalpur . Chinese lied hard this is going to be brutal. My hometown has gone 144 curfew. Strict lockdown is the only way to minimize damage before herd immunity builds up in coming months.

Thread needs to be renamed to Chinese virus


Best thing ever which I have taking for the last 5 years - Haldi dissolved in a tsp of ghee. Guys, you must try this. You will never fall sick easily, gym workouts never ache, hangovers are never gruesome (when binge drinking) and your bowels will be singing you praises :p (I am a vegetarian). Maybe partly placebo, but hey it works wonders for me.
Turmeric is a well known anti inflammatory herb. Ayurveda mentions it as well. Inflammation is a general purpose signalling mechanism of our body; it is used to draw attention to a given area of your body. Some of the causes of inflammation are injuries and arthritis. Even diabetes is caused by chronic inflammation to pancreas which ultimately degrades its ability to produce insulin; this can be hereditary or can be a result of sustained diet of high carbohydrate and sugar.
