In this moment when social-distancing and self-hygiene are the key
words being promoted by everyone from the governments to the health
organisations, we all need to understand that the only way out of this
pandemic is to keep ourselves, our families and our fellowmen safe is by
strictly following these guidelines and avoiding anything that impairs or
compromises our immunity. COVID-19 belongs to the family of Corona

these seven just cause mild cold or flu like symptoms. Only three of the
seven human coronaviruses are ones which pose serious risk to humans.
These are SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 that causes Covid-19.

unidentified carriers of Covid-19 roaming around us in our towns and cities,
as their symptoms have yet not surfaced!!!!

exposed to various bacterias & viruses day in and out throughout our lives
but most of the time our immune system takes care of them & we don't
even notice them. Surprisingly there is a vast range of these microbes that
inhibit our body from our skin to our digestive tract without causing any
harm, rather a few are even helpful to our wellbeing. As we carry out our
lives breathing in and consuming Though in few cases we do experience
mild symptoms or discomfort but even these go away in few days with rest
and few precautions. It's only in few cases that we need medical
intervention & support.
COVID-19 pandemic has brought forth two very interesting insights
which may be taken into account to manage the current situation as well as
