In one of the positive news of the day, world-renowned medical expert and Padma Bhushan Awardee Dr. Nageshwar Reddy has ascertained that the ongoing pandemic is something that the country can conquer easily. He also said that there is no need to panic about the situation as of now. He added that the current lock-down might not stretch further.
Dr. Nageshwar Reddy gives two reasons to back his statement
Backing his statement, Nageshwar Reddy provided two strong reasons for the country to remain calm. While one reason is related to the genome sequencing of the virus, the other is about the impact of temperature on the deadly virus.
Nageshwar Reddy has said that a single mutation occurs in the spike protein of the genome, thereby weakening the virus. The reason for this being, the spike protein is the part of the virus that attaches to the human cell. Dr. Nageshwar revealed that this sequencing is different in the virus that has spread across Italy and the USA.
As per the expert’s inputs, according to a recent research paper by MIT, USA, the coronavirus struggles to exist for longer periods above 32-degree celsius. Hence, in the month of May, as India becomes hotter, the impact of COVID-19 will reduce.
Mental Health is important at the moment
Dr. Nageshwar Reddy highlighted the importance of mental health in this situation. With so many rumors floating around, although it is a challenge, the Padma Bhushan Awardee asked the people to develop themselves strong mentally.
