Why divorce should be easy!

-
Image
Couples come together for a common purpose. They bear children and start parenting them. But at times, they may grow apart and not want to remain a couple. They may want to separate. But society and law often prevents this separation. Because they feel that children might get affected due to the separation. Hence, law has made divorce difficult and asks couples the reason for the separation. They need to show some fault in the partner in order to get legal separation. But this only opens another Pandora's box in which false accusations and blame game begins. This is unhealthy and stressful not only for the couple but also for their children. Divorce of their parents does affect children. It can lead to stress and academic struggles in them. They might suffer severe mental stress and demonstrate behaviour changes in them. They may have anxiety, depression, feeling of guilt and shame and sadness. This may affect them in school and their social circle. They could become an object of r...

COVID-19 vaccines-The prioritization strategy in the various countries of the world!

-

 Normally it takes years to roll out one vaccine. It happens only after proper and thorough development, testing, and trails. But in the case of covid-19 vaccine, all this was done at top speed and before testing on a larger scale, the vaccines were rolled out in less than a year. These included Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and others in China and Russia. Due to the limited supply of the vaccines, companies and governments are prioritizing those who will get the vaccines. The vulnerable group and the frontline health workers are the first to receive it. 

The vaccines for COVID-19 

WHO has revealed that there are a number of vaccines that are in the various stages of development. 61 are in the clinical trial phase and 172 are in the pre-clinical testing level. This is the status as of 22 December 2020. And 2 vaccines in the USA, 1 each in China, the UK, and Russia have been provided emergency approval for use in public. They are said to be safe and effective but these have not yet tested in children < 16 years, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. The side-effects of the vaccines in the form of allergies are now coming to be known.

Each country has put forth a prioritization strategy so that the vulnerable groups get the vaccine first. These include the frontline workers who are maximally exposed to the virus, aged population, and those with comorbidities. The others will get the vaccine later on and not now. 

Pfizer and Moderna vaccines

Pfizer covid-19 vaccine got approval in the UK in early December. Later, Bahrain also approved it in an emergency. The USA followed suit. The other countries that have approved it similarly are Canada, Mexico, EU 29 nations, Serbia, Chile, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kuwait. Singapore has also given emergency approval to the said vaccine.

Moderna vaccine has so far got an emergency approval in the USA and Canada. Russia approved its Sputnik V vaccine in August 2020. Argentina and Belarus have approved it as well though some concerns on its testing have been raised. CanSino's vaccine got approval in China. UAE, Bahrain, and China also have sanctioned the SinoPharma vaccine. 

India and the vaccine scenario there

In India, it is the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization that has the power to approve the vaccines. But it has yet not sanctioned any of the world vaccines against covid-19. The Department has asked for additional data on it. Hence no mass vaccination has commenced in India. But in other countries, mass immunization has been initiated. The USA has already immunized 1 million people. The USA has the Operation Warp Speed for the administration of the vaccine. The health care workers and the people in long-term care facilities get the vaccine first there. In the UK, it is the elderly people and health care workers first and later the younger population would get the vaccine. Similar prioritization exists in Ireland.

Though no clear-cut guidelines have been stated by the Indian authorities, whenever the vaccination starts online registration for it and an ID proof will be required. And the vaccination would be voluntary.

 Covid-19 pandemic started in Wuhan in China. This was in December 2019. But China continues to state that though the first cases of Covid-19 were detected in Wuhan, it never originated there. But the world wants to know the true answer of origin of the virus and hence the pandemic that brought the world to a standstill. WHO is investigating this matter.  China and its denial of origin of coronavirus   China has been persistent in its denial of Covid-19 in Wuhan. It stresses that though the first cases were detected there, they never originated there.

Loneliness is a growing epidemic especially during this coronavirus pandemic in the USA!

  The coronavirus pandemic has increased social segregation and this has proven to be bad particularly for the elderly population. They are unable to catch up with their children and grandchildren and are finding themselves extremely lonely. They are the worst affected by the pandemic in terms of physical as well as emotional health. THE OLD AGE AND LONELINESS Old age is a time of loneliness for many people. Usually, people have lost their partners at that ripe age and depend on their children and grandchildren for support and to beat the loneliness. Though their younger family members used to occasionally visit the parents, now with the coronavirus pandemic this has become difficult due to the risk of the children carrying the infection to their aged parents and grandparents. So the visits have come down drastically and the contact remains only on phone or via digital technology. This though good does not suffice and cannot substitute the physical visits and the warmth that th...
