COVID -19 Rehabilitation

Our World is passing through an unprecedented crisis: the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a disease with no definitive cure yet and simultaneously with high risk of transmission and mortality. A scary scenario to say the least when one lives with the fear of contracting the disease and not being sure if the symptoms are just waiting to happen. Out of the people contracted,

• 80% shall remain asymptomatic or develop only mild-moderate symptoms of the COVID-19 disease including breathlessness, dry cough, fever, body-pain, loss of smell, sore throat, fatigue, etc. and recover from the disease (ASYMPTOMATIC-MILD-MODERATE SEVERITY or STAGE 1)
• 20% may graduate to acute symptoms arising from an attack on the lungs including Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome(HIGH SEVERITY), and ~3% may succumb (CRITICAL SEVERITY).
• Most vulnerable segments include Persons > 60 Years of age, people with Lung Disease, Diabetes, BP, Obesity implying Underlying Inflammation and Poor Metabolism, Immuno-compromised, Lower and/or Upper Respiratory Tract infection present/history etc.
• The permanent solution is expected to be adaptive immunity around the following which can take upto 18 months, either through vaccines or herd immunity
