Covid 19- Myths & Facts

Covid 19 (Coronavirus) - Myths and facts: (In Public Interest)


🌈Summer temperature is said to reduce the disease spread as Human Coronavirus can remain potent on inanimate surfaces at room temperature for up to 9 days but if the temperature is more than 30 degree Celsius then the duration of its potency remains shorter.
🌈This doesnt mean that it is being killed. The duration of its survival is reduced.
🌈 Coronavirus is stable at 37 degree Celsius for at least 2 hours and it will become non-infectious only after 90min, at 56 degree Celsius.
🌈So it is a myth that summer kills the virus. Adequate protective guidelines and prayers are required to be free from the virus.




🌈 During Testing times, Fake news always travels faster than the facts and and people tend to fall for it more easily.
🌈 Hence, please dont blindly forward any Whats-app messages or share any un-authentic articles in Facebook pertaining to the Coronavirus to avoid creating fear-mongering and the spread of panic.

 🌈In addition to the photos, the other Fake news spreading in social media are as follows -
----------------------
1. Cow urine and dung can cure Coronavirus - FALSE

 2. Drinking water every 15 minutes can flush Coronavirus - FALSE

 3.Drinkable silver kills coronavirus within 12 hours - FALSE, this can cause serious side effects.

 4.Chlorine dioxide (aka “MMS”) an effective cancer cell killer, it can wipe out coronavirus too - FALSE

 5.Drinking hot water and exposure to the sun will kill the Coronavirus - FALSE,

 5. Avoid eating icecream to avoid getting Coronavirus - FALSE

 Wearing Mask does not help much, but keeping yourself clean, washing hands, legs, and face after coming from public place, avoid meeting sick people can definitely help you prevent getting the virus. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. U DONT NEED SANITIZER FOR THAT.

Essay on Boosting Economic Growth of India

Boosting Economic Growth India's GDP growth rate slowed down to 5 per cent in Q1 of FY20 and is expected to be around 6 per cent or below in this financial year. As former Reserve Bank of India governor Y V Reddy mentioned recently, a combination of cyclical and structural factors have been responsible for the slowdown.  One example is the auto sector. There seems to be a collapse of aggregate demand in the economy. Global uncertainties have added to the problem.  In the last few weeks, the government has announced several measures to improve both consumption and investment in different sectors and for the economy as a whole. The announcement of reduction in corporate tax rates may help in reviving the sentiments of the private sector but the tax revenue may also decline and put pressure on fiscal deficit. These stimulus and structural measures and monetary policy may help reviving the economy to some extent in the near future. But, these measures alone may...

How to Improve Indian Financial System

How to Improve Indian Financial System India had been successful in managing the global financial crisis of 2008 but present condition of its banking sector is worst.  The reasons for this are mounting bad loans, poor accounting standards and lax supervision.  India's ratio of NPA has grown from lowest to highest in 8 years among G-20 club. The sudden rise in bad loan ratio is due to RBI strict monitoring  in recent years which was left hidden. Bad loan problem is high for SBI but private banks also have it.
