Self-quarantine best solution to fight Coronavirus: Dr. Srinivas Kakkilaya
Mangaluru: Consultant Physician at Spandana Centre for Metabolic Medicine, Dr. Srinivas Kakkilaya in a Facebook post predicted that the Coronavirus cases are like to increase substantially over the next 3 – 6 weeks and will reach stage 3 and 4 despite best efforts to contain the infected persons and their contacts.
Dr. Kakkilaya stressed upon the need to set up special temporary hospitals at Taluka and District levels for COVID respiratory care and to train the necessary manpower in the next two weeks.
He also pressed on publicizing the importance of self-quarantine of the infected people while claiming that in 85% of the Corona Virus cases, patients will only need to self-quarantine themselves. He also added that these cases doesn’t need any testing or medicine and that the infection will be cured on its own if the patient self-quarantine themselves.
“Self-quarantine, no tests, no calls unless significantly ill, dedicated ambulances to carry the needy and establishment of temporary hospitals are the only measures that will be of help
“Self-quarantine of infected persons (85% of cases will need only this) must be publicized and promoted widely, so that people can understand the concept and co-operate. These cases do not need testing nor do they need medicines and the infection will get cured in a week on its own” Dr. Kakkilaya added in the post.
He also claimed that patients getting desperate and seeking medical attention and treatment from many doctors only risks to further spread the infection and was important that the patients remain in self-quarantine.
“If they go out and desperately seek treatment from many doctors and the so called AYUSH practitioners, they will only spread the disease, nothing else. Media have a big role to play in this regard” he added.
“Pressuring the govt for more tests is of not much benefit for anyone, instead, the pressure must be on establishing temporary hospitals for Covid Care. Hospital manpower must be trained immediately for Covid Care and ventilator use in ICUs. It's also necessary to have a dedicated ambulance service for carrying seriously ill COVID cases (mostly the elderly) so that public transport is not used by these infectious patients” the post further stated.

PM, Shah lied to nation on Women's Bill, tried replicating 'Assam, JK' model, alleges Rahul in TN
Ranipet (Tamil Nadu) (PTI): Congress top leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah "lied" to the nation claiming they were attempting to pass a bill for women's quota.
However, hidden behind such a claim was a "diabolic idea" of bid to change the nation's electoral map and weaken states. What was attempted was an "anti-national act and it was against the union of states," he alleged.
The BJP-led government transformed the electoral map of Assam and Jammu and Kashmir and they intend doing it in the rest of the country as well, he alleged.
Addressing his second election rally in this northern Tamil Nadu town, located about 120 km from Chennai, Gandhi spoke on the Constitution amendment bill that was defeated in the Lok Sabha on Friday.
"Yesterday, you might have seen what PM Modi, and Home Miniser Amit Shah were trying to do in Parliament. They told the nation a lie, they said they were trying to pass a bill for women's representation. But hidden behind thatbill was a diabolic idea," he alleged.
Also, he claimed that PM Modi and Shah wanted to change the electoral map of the country.
He alleged: "They wanted to change no of seats that each state gets. They wanted to weaken south Indian states, weaken north eastern states and weaken smaller states...what the BJP was trying to do yesterday was an anti-national act and it was against the union of states."
The entire opposition stood like a rock and defeated the BJP's "nefarious design." The BJP is attacking the democratic foundations of India, he said adding they were using delimitation as a political weapon.
He alleged: "They have transformed the electoral map of Assam and Jammu and Kashmir and they want to do that to the rest of the country. Their main idea is to attack your (Tamil) history, culture, language and tradition." Furthermore, he alleged that the people have already seen PM Modi attacking the Constitution.
"In the Constitution, it is clearly written India that is Bharat is a union of states. that means that every state has to have a voice. "
He said the TN Assembly election was about stopping BJP-RSS from capturing Tamil Nadu.
On Saturday, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha launched his campaign in Tamil Nadu for the April 23 polls from Ponneri. The Congress is a part of the ruling DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance and is contesting from 28 seats.
