Mumbai: When will the second wave of corona come to India? If so, what will be its intensity? What is the difference between the corona epidemic and management in Europe and India? ETV has tried to find answers to such questions. Renowned ophthalmologist Padma Shri Dr Tatyarao Lahane, Prof. Dr. Rajshri Katke, Dr. Kuldeepraj Kohli and Dr. Jawahar Shah discuss with ETV Bharat. The experts answered all our questions and gave some important advice.
While talking about the second wave, Dr Tatyarao Lahane said, "Even if the second wave of Coronavirus hits India, it may be in January or February." Currently, Europe is witnessing the second wave of Coronavirus so there is a lot of talk about India getting hit by it again. Dr Lahane added that there may not be a severe second wave of Coronavirus in India. He said," In some cases, there are antibodies present in 50 per cent of the people, while in some they are present in 30 per cent of the people due to which we are progressing towards herd immunity. This is why even if there is a second wave of Coronavirus, it would be mild."
Dr Jawahar Shah while talking about the scenario in Taiwan said, "There is discipline in Taiwan. People are wearing masks, maintaining social distancing, and are reporting in case of any symptoms due to which the situation there is under control. In Singapore, if one is found without a mask, four police personnel come and arrest you for the same." While talking about the way things are in India, he said, "In India, there is no discipline. If two people are stressing upon the importance of wearing a mask, there are 50 who say they will not follow it." In Europe, due to the changing weather and temperatures dropping, there is going to be a second wave. If one takes all the necessary precautions, they will be safe.
