Let's talk about Vaccines.

Still seeing a lot of confusion going around about the Mechanism of vaccines in use. I will attempt to explain it as simply as possible.

Please read, and share.

So, think of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as Ferrero Rocher. 😋😋

1/n

Let's see the structure of the virus first.

Spike Protein = Nutty spikes
Lipid Membrane = Outer Chocolate Layer
Nucleocapsid = Wafery Layer
RNA = Innermost Chocolate

That's putting it very simply for the purpose of understanding.

2/n

Let's see how the virus causes infection.

The virus enters through our respiratory tract. It needs to enter a cell to replicate. For that, it uses the SPIKE PROTEIN (nutty spikes).

Spike protein allows the virus to enter the cell and cause infection.

Sweet and simple.

➡️PREVENTION MYTHS

MYTH:
Wearing masks will reduce O2 and cause CO2 poisoning.

FACT:
Masks DON'T affect the O2-CO2 gas exchange at all. Masks won't reduce the oxygen or increase CO2 in your blood.

A study was also done to prove it. - atsjournals.org/doi/10.1513/An…

MYTH:
#Lemon juice through the nose will kill the virus.

FACT:
Lemon juice is acidic. Taking undiluted lemon juice through the nose will damage the inner lining, cause irritation, and may cause bleeding as well. It will not kill the virus either. DON'T SNORT LEMON JUICE.

Psychology says humour is one of the most mature defence mechanisms. If you enjoy this humourous video depicting the state of affairs in our country right now, share this and let us know.

Wear masks, Practice Distancing.

A Super-Spreader Wedding

27 Feb: Wedding of a distant cousin brother. Due to regulations of 100 people, my parents weren't there. (Thankfully).

Some of the invitees from the groom's side as Baaraatis (wedding procession), went together in a luxury bus.

And so it began.

The wedding concluded. No hiccups. All fun and frolic.

A week later: One of the guests, a 65 yr old male, tested positive.

He was part of that Baaraati bus.

Admitted to hospital with severe symptoms.

Over the next few days, everyday, 1 more guest from the wedding popped up with a positive test.

Even the groom's parents ended up positive.

Some got admitted in hospitals, some got home isolation.

Don't know about the situation with the bride's family and relatives.
