Free Distribution of AYUSH-64 at 7 Delhi locations from Monday


It may be noted AYUSH 64 is a poly herbal formulation that has been found useful in the treatment of asymptomatic, mild and moderate COVID-19 infection. AYUSH-64 is recommended in National Clinical Management Protocol based on Ayurveda and Yoga which is vetted by National Task Force on COVID Management of ICMR and Guidelines for Ayurveda Practitioners for COVID-19 Patients in Home Isolation. It has been repurposed as an add on to standard care for COVID-19 patients after a robust multi-centre clinical trial which was monitored by Ministry of AYUSH-CSIR Joint Monitoring Committee for clinical trial under the chairmanship of Dr. V M Katoch, former DG, ICMR.

Oxygen muddle in India.

If you believe Srikant Sastri writing in the Times of India lately, then this confusion has been artificially created by well-established government procedures. Oxygen plant contracts were awarded 6-8 months ago when the first virus event occurred. The stipulated time for delivery was 75 days. Six months later, no such delivery has been made hence this current huge Oxygen shortage.

(https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/voices/how-oxygen-generators-got-mired-in-red-tape/)

The blame lies with the old established bureaucratic procedures. The Procurement Agreement was awarded to the lowest bidder (L-1). It seems now that the contractor was not able to supply. He was awarded the contract because he was the lowest bidder. The procedure muddle kicked in now. If the L-1 does not get the contract, as per government established norms, he would sue in court. Hence bureaucrats absolved themselves of the blame and L-1 got the contract.

No one could predict that a COVID-19 tsunami would hit India by mid-April. So much so that SOS world wide had to be made for Oxygen supply.

Most of the countries, which had received favors from India earlier in the Quinine and Vaccine supply came to help. Indian Air Force and Navy established an Oxygen supply chain and rose up to the occasion. The army has assisted with the establishment of hospitals.

Surprisingly US, who was an India’s ally of a sort, airlifted only three plane loads of oxygenators and few other supplies, claiming that US comes first. Their ban on raw material and other supplies to make vaccine in India and elsewhere, although lifted still mired in patent talk. Too bad about that.

The pressure on the oxygen supply has been somewhat alleviated, but deaths in India due to lack of oxygen are astronomical. Who should be held accountable... Ultimately the present government gets the bulk of the blame and they have received most of the flak. Angry people will not vote for this government. They already have taken out their anger in the provincial elections and will do it again. Be mindful of people ... they are angry.

There’s more to it, even if these 158 PSO plants were installed, situation would have been more or less the same. in Delhi alone 8 oxygen plants were supposed to be installed in govt hospitals, most of the deaths happened in private hospitals.

issue that is not being raised is retail selling of oxygen within Delhi, where oxygen was being diverted from stage 3 patients.

CNN was showcasing oxygen langars, a stage 3 Chinese virus patient would not be at that langar, which means those oxygen tanks there would have saved a stage 3 patient in a hospital.

others can correct if I am wrong.

In Delhi Oxygen dependent patients too were prescribed home isolation and use of oxygen from cylinders at home. This was due to lack of institutional beds.
This single decision was a hindrance in stopping the retail selling of cylinders and refilling of cylinders. And again this led to hoarding and black marketing.

It is mild Covid.

I learned following things on my covid journey.
1) Keep consulting doctor even after fever has gone. No self medication, no missing appointments.
2) Keep checking SpO2 every few hours till you receive covid negative report. Anything below 94 or difficulty in breathing, immediately visit hospital. Go for proning position till you reach hospital.
3) Taste loss might result in decreased appetite. But it is very important to keep eating. If there is gastric problem (nausea, vomiting etc), it might be because of antibiotics. Consult doctor he will change medicine.
4) Doctor will conduct blood test (D-dimer and CRP) on 6-8 days. They are very important as it will detect whether Corona is affecting other organs and blood cells. Once these tests are Ok, there is no need to worry (but keep checking SpO2 till covid negative).
5) Taste and smell will take some time to become normal. In my case it took around 20 days.
6) Keep positive outlook. Do not panic, but do not let your guard down for next 10 days.

I consulted with a doctor online. He has prescribed us medicines. We are taking medicines on time.

Don;t worry...you are good... ensure u O2 levels are not falling... All my friends recovered fully at home without needs to go out..

If your mother have existing conditions, than you might need to keep a hawk eye on her vitals else you shud sail thru this nicely. If u see anything abnormal... seek doctors help...

Some of the experts are saying that to measure SpO2 in two ways
a . when resting
b. Immediately after a brief exercise.

Is it true, and is it how SpO2 should be tested at home?

speaking to doctors " A " is what they recommend. If there is lots of fluctuations, than average of 1 MIn

Which is the largest Chinese city?
Just asking as the city that was the largest a couple of years ago as we knew, might not be the largest anymore.
Unlike many other countries, Chinese population is prone to sublimation as we had seen in history.

It seems @skywatcher is finally free from his/her daunting task of 'watching the sky' after the Chinese out of control rocket finally fell into Indian Ocean.

You put a "me gusta" icon in the same sentence as "corona virus is ravaging in some countries"/ "night walk" in some CCP city.

The audacity of this 1 cent CCP Han savage.

if that rocket part would have fallen anywhere in Indian EEZ, we would be having a different kind of conversation today.
