It appears that GoI recommendation has more to do with vaccine shortage.

IMO, the time between waning of wave-2 and onset of wave-3 should have been used to vaccinate as many as possible to reduce mortalities. If this recommendation gets through, don't know how many more waves we have to deal with!!
A couple of kids among my relatives have been victims of COVID. The kids contracted it at their tuition center and subsequently everyone in the family were infected. The kids recovered quickly, but the dad had to be hospitalized (he already had wheezing issues) and has recovered now thankfully.

irony of life .People are not valuing the lives ,what's the point of education or school colleges when you are risking life's ,accept that 2-3 years of lives have been wasted with respect to education .And people who think just allowing students to cancelling SSC exams and other boards is a short term solution for government ,but is a long term damage to the career of he student
Please don't start Ivermectin even if you're having mild symptoms.
Just take paracetamol if required and PLENTY OF FLUIDS.
If the cough is very severe with sore throat..try to manage with steam, warm saline gurgle. Don't take anti histaminics or mast cell stabilizers. They may actually worsen your symptoms by drying the airways.
Some idiots are prescribing montelukast.
Seen thousands of covid patients by now, these drugs don't help with symptoms, some actually worsen them.
Arjun here sent me an article about hypoglycemia associated with zincovit !! Had no idea..he himself is having low blood glucose.
I'm not against self medication during times like these, but instead of whatsapp forwards, google the drugs and read about them from a reputable site.
Vaccine shortage: It can be dealt with some common sense and technical knowledge.
Instead GOI is trying to spread absurd articles as scientific studies.
When you're suffering from shortage of vaccine, you stop calculating population in general and target geographical areas. Area with 5/10 kilometre radius...target 60-80% population of that area and vaccinate them, move onto adjacent 5-10 kilometre radius. Since most people are not traveling much, this is how you vaccinate.
Not a freaking app and fastest finger fast approach.
Vaccine shortage can occur, specially in a time like this. But there are ways to overcome it, you just don't pull out ideas from your ass, you try to remember what was written in books. Everything is written in a textbook, all the doctors have read it. But now they are too big for a textbook...everyone wants to be the next John Snow!!

Shouldn't take this long...but some reported significant loss for a year now.

the geography approach is bang on ,mumbai municipal would be going for Door to Door vaccination approach once they have a good vaccine stock

than put a note on your door it would save some of their time
Where did I say door to door? Door to door is difficult as the vaccines are not very safe.
The geographical approach is the most effective strategy with vaccine shortage. WHY NONE OF THE 56 INCHER'S SIDEKICK DOCTOR KNOWS THE ABSOLUTELY BASIC THINGS!!??

They are busy doing flip-flops, now after hundreds of patients have spent lakhs on plasma therapy and remdisivir they've now done a 180. They also aren't sure when to recommend the second dose and keep changing the timeframe. It was 6-8, now it's 12-16 weeks, next it's going to be 18-20 weeks just to manage stock.
They can't, low stock, so instead of coming up with new strategy they will invent imaginary "safe protocols" made by cardiac surgeons who have never seen a vaccine vial.
How long do you expect the shortage to last? I haven't really checked anything on this, but 2-3 weeks of managing and should be back to normal?
No idea. Some government hospitals in kolkata do have vaccines ( I have seen the stocks myself) but they are waiting for some "clearance".
I didn't understand one thing, health is state's responsibility, why it is different for vaccines?
Moreover the vaccinators and their supervisors never went through large scale vaccination programs. They wasted almost 2 doses of vaccine/ vial for months.
It's a complete clusterfuck.

I won't be surprised if they start saying 1 dose is enough :/
Becasue of the delay in placing orders and releasing funds, vaccine production will only ramp up by July which means the majority of the country is looking at a post-August timeframe for getting vaccinated (I doubt nationwide vaccination will be completed even in 2022)

@reddragon, one of my relative seems to be having mild symptoms and he is taking paracetamol 650 with multivitamins.
Is this okay?
Do you have any suggestion for multivitamins ? I can see 1mg is offering there own multivitamins https://www.1mg.com/otc/1mg-senior-...amin-c-calcium-and-vitamin-d-tablet-otc555713
Does anyone have any experience with these?

I had suggested this to our local MLA. They are doing a 2KM radius now, even though BJP this guy is doing good work based on logic.
IMO, they should have targeted tier 1 cities first where the population density is highest, subsequently tier 2 and then villages etc. This would have arrested the fall in tax collection as their major economic centers would be open to business. Also, advanced medical infrastructure available in such cities would have been freed up to aid patients from tier 2 and lower cities. Instead, they chose to play Russian roulette everywhere.
A few vaccinated people going door to door is better and safer for the public than many crowding at a vaccination center. If you are not interested feel free to refuse, it is not mandatory, let's not put others at risk for your convenience.
