Let us not lose our sanity (A thread)

Yes, there is a massive corona wave. Yes, we all need to stay locked up, and venture out only when it’s necessary. Yes, oxygen supply and shortage of medicines are major issues. Yes, people are getting infected. Yes, people are dying. But...

But let us not lose our sanity. In the mad rush to over-communicate, we are creating a panic wave. Do not RT everything. I have seen tweets getting thousands of RTs even after the patient has got help. That buries newer cases. Use Inbox too but only if you can genuinely help.

I have seen angels who have helped patients, RTing every tweet thanking them. Not the right time to be a credit hog mate. Move on to the next one. Imagine surgeons blowing kisses at crowds after every surgery.

Panic is the biggest killer. More on it...

A COVID positive report does not mean that the patient is going to die. It simply means that the patient needs to be treated and that too in complete isolation. Not keeping a calm head and Panicking is sure to worsen the condition.

Avoid reading too much information online. Most of it is panic mongering content. Avoid discussing too much about it, it will only screw your sanity. Watch out for symptoms but don’t become a hypochondriac. Don’t eat every jadi booti around you. Even herbs have side effects.

Our body is a very efficient machine. And our lungs are very efficient organs. With proper training, our lungs can withstand most complications. And the simplest way to train them is by proper breathing. So exhale-inhale-exhale-inhale while sitting in a padmasanon posture.

So in a nutshell:

1) Social Media is a privilege, use it wisely

2) Don’t resort to or fall prey to panic mongering

3) Avoid online resources about COVID

4) Stay away from over discussing

5) Don’t keep looking for symptoms

6) And train your lungs

We will overcome this.
