When I saw this map there was something interesting that caught my
eye. Firstly that the most advanced & most well organised nations and
regions the world have been hit the most barring a few exceptions and
secondly that the regions falling within the Tropics too have a comparative
low incidence of the pandemic. These observations are debatable & many
of you may refute the logic, yet if you go by the key factor in of any
pandemic spread its the immunity. Simply put lower the overall immunity of
a population, higher are it's chances of infection and overall casualties.
Once there is a global pandemic, most of the world population in one way
or the other will get exposed to the pathogen, but the way that population or
that region fares in face of the situation will depend largely on the overall
immunity of its people.
Coming to the low incidence of Covid-19 cases in the tropical regions,
the only reasonable logic is the long hours of abundant sunlight in these
regions. We all since time immemorial know that sunlight not just sustains
the life on earth but is also a key factor in boosting immunity, so no surprise
that the people in this region unknown to them have been gifted a relatively
higher immunity compared to their counterparts who are further away from
the equator. People who have been confined indoors for long, like most of
the inmates of a prison who don't get much sun, show sharp decline in their
overall health due to lowering of their immunity in absence of fresh air and
sun. Immunity, thus is the word in the current situation. Factors like social
distancing too are critical to ensure that masses don't get exposed to
people already infected still key focus of us all must be to ensure that we
keep our immunity high in this moment.
Guess it's time we figure out that walking & playing in mud & soil, eating
and drinking not so sterilised food, breathing the little dust smoky air
outside instead of the pure ionised & oxy-infused air from our air
conditioners within our offices & homes, basking in sun and letting nature
treat us as we were born, are not so bad choices overall, for when we are
out in lap of nature, living life the way it is, we give our bodies a chance to
