Mumbai model would be more relevant for corporations in immediate proximity. With all these corporations, Mumbai model has to be immediately followed, since the citizens in these corporations are not so different from those in Mumbai, Court notes.

Self medication & procedures like steaming have played a big role in increasing numbers of patients getting infected with fungal infections.
Indiscriminate antibiotic use has killed the normal flora allowing opportunistic infections like fungi to grow
The normal flora has also been destroyed by the indiscriminate steaming which patients & people have done, thinking that will kill the virus.
People have taken zinc supplements indiscriminately & this has allowed fungus to grow as zinc is prerequisite for its growth.
People have taken zinc supplements indiscriminately & this has allowed fungus to grow as zinc is prerequisite for its growth.
Normally body when infected with fungi sequestrates zinc away from fungus & the monocytes which attack fungus are devoid of zinc. But with plenty of intake of zinc supplements, high blood & tissue levels it is difficult to achieve zero zinc zone around fungi by our immune system

It is a fungal attack that happens when immune response is lowered. During Covid, one reason for more cases is due to unscientific use of steroids. Steroids are greatly helpful when used well, but it suppresses immune response as well

In 🇮🇳 we have had the benefit of research conducted in the west. Masking, Dexamethasone, Lockdowns, Toci, etc have helped us manage the #COVID19 pandemic. But we like to do jugaad so we added to the mix Steam inhalation’s, multiple antibiotics, zinc, Vit C 1/n
Then there are kadhas, 💧 neeti, IVM, HCQ and so on and so forth. We have a high diabetic population which means we have a even higher prediabetic one which when sick with COVID19 can fiddle with our glucose homeostasis. This has probably resulted in a heady mix. 2/n
The west has given us #COVID19Vaccine to protect against #COVID19 We don’t yet have phase 3 data for the really 🇮🇳 one. Whether we like it or not our medical care depends on research done in the west - at least most of it. Now we have the #BlackFungus problem that no one has 3/n

Many theories on why incidence is high.
Fix what's in your control:
1) Avoid steroids unless there is hypoxia
2) When indicated, use steroids at right dose and right duration.
3) Check & control blood sugars
4) Avoid antibiotics

3) Check & control blood sugars
4) Avoid antibiotics
There will be hardly anyone who gets mucor without at least one of these 4 factors.
Sure there may be something else going on in addition because we do have a lot people taking steroids and antibiotics for other reasons, and people who have diabetes who hardly ever get mucor.
Sure there may be something else going on in addition because we do have a lot people taking steroids and antibiotics for other reasons, and people who have diabetes who hardly ever get mucor.
But it will take time to investigate these additional factors and see if they can be fixed.
If someone is urgently in need of oxygen now, you have to give whatever oxygen is available. No choice. But you could control sugars, and use steroids at right dose for right duration.
