Is Coronavirus Spreading Through Air?

-

 There is consistent, strong evidence to prove that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, behind the COVID-19 pandemic, is predominantly transmitted through the air, according to a new assessment published on Friday in The Lancet journal.



What's Happening?

The novel coronavirus is an infectious disease that can be transmitted from one person to another. While coming in close contact with an infected person can increase your chances of contracting the deadly virus. As per a recent study, "Strong Evidence" suggests COVID-19 predominantly spreads through air.

Airborne Disease.

Any disease that is caused by pathogens that can be transmitted through air over time and distance by small particles. The relevant pathogens may be virus, bacteria, or fungi. They may be spread through breathing, talking, coughing, sneezing, toilet flushing or any activities which generate aerosol particles or droplets.



Can COVID-19 Spread Through Aerosols?

While Scientists and medical professionals are still trying to confirm whether or not COVID-19 is an airborne illness, Studies have suggested that SARs-COV-2 can spread through aerosols. According to a report released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 could be airborne. However, experts have emphasised on taking necessary precautions for the same. Lancet research say - Of the evidence, the researchers believed that superspreader events like the Skagit Choir outbreak, where 53 people were infected, could not be justified by only close contact infections or touching infected shared surfaces or objects. "It is urgent that the World Health Organization and other public health agencies adapt their description of transmission to the scientific evidence so that the focus of mitigation is put on reducing airborne transmission", he added.

Greater Risks In Indoor.

As per Lancet study, transmission rates of COVID-19 are much higher indoors than outdoors. While we're taking extra care and maintaining social distancing to avoid the spread of novel Coronavirus. Airborne transmission if the virus has posed  greater health risks to people living inside their homes. As the virus has the tendency to remain in the surrounding for a long period of time, it makes enclosed spaces all the more dangerous and infectious than outdoor areas.

Conclusion.

The most efficient way to safeguard yourself is to avoid crowded places and maintain social distancing. Avoid rooms with less or no ventilations as it can increase the risks of contracting the virus. CDC, "when properly, air purifiers can help reduce airborne contaminants, including viruses, in a home or confined space".

One Nation, One Election. Pros and Cons

-
What is One Nation, One Election?  One Nation, One Election  is a proposal under consideration by the Government  to arrange elections for the Lok Sabha  and all state assemblies . It intends to hold these elections simultaneously, either on a single day or within a specific time frame.  Is this a new scheme?  After we got our independence, till 1967 there was only one election that was conducted throughout the nation to determine Lok Sabha and state assemblies. But due to some political disturbances and in some states some government didn't even complete its tenure so this cycle could not continue.  Mostly 3 types of election are conducted nowadays. Lok Sabha Elections. (Member of Parliament) State Elections. (Chief Minister) Municipal Elections. (Sarpanch) Because these elections are held once in every 5 year and their dates do not overlap. So every state has been conducted elections according to its time. Overall, elections are going on somewhere in India every single day.  If t

In a recent tweet, Elon Musk has announced that the $44 billion deal of buying Twitter is on hold citing a recent media report that disclosed the number of bot accounts is lesser than expected. Recent Tweet Of Elon Musk: The biggest and most-talked-about deal of the year 2022 may not happen at all. " Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users. " Bot accounts are fake/spam accounts that automatically post tweets based on certain content. Twitter has a revenue model for these accounts to monetise through ads and other paid offerings, such as Twitter Blue, Super Follows, and more. The Tweet that Musk has posted clearly indicates that he had expected this number to be higher. The recent tweet pattern of Elon Musk  also shows that he was more interested in  monetising the service  further. On the other hand, there are speculations that suggest that this could be a ploy to lower the origi
