KK: Actually I just wanted to say one thing, RC mentioned that there was bahar se log symptoms develop kar rahein hain and their situation becomes very critical. And everybody knows that, because people are discussing these things amongst themselves, they think that VACCINE NAHI LENA CHAHIYE. That is also a very big thing because the consequences we are facing right now are not only because of the vaccine shortage. Maatlab vaccine is the cure, but abhi jo kuch bhi ho raha hain is not because of the vaccine shortage, it is because of the irresponsibility that we have, that is our carelessness. But if we don't get ourselves vaccinated we will never know what is going to be the outcome, jab tak sab log vaccinate nahi ho jayenge, tab tak, we wont know. After people get it after two weeks we get the symptoms we don't know how the body is going to respond. 

I was tested for COVID-19 last 12 days. after my home It was in Aurangabad. My test was taken near home. Some labs allow me to book an appointment, they come home at the scheduled time and collect the sample. I was prescribed an RTPCR test. One of the lab representatives came to my doorstep. He was wearing a PPE suit. He took swab samples from my nose and mouth, which took just a couple of minutes (completely painless). Within 5 minutes he was on his way after collecting my swab samples. I got my results after 12 hours of the test. The entire process was online (appointment booking, payment, test results). Overall it was an efficient and well-organized process


TESTING AND HOSPITALISATION



DS: The situation is like that, that two weeks back when my uncle tested positive for covid, we were struggling for two days to get him tested, so there were no testing kits only, we called around 20 private labs or something who could come homeland get him tested and all of them said that there were no testing kits available only.

 

 

 

 

And in two days only his situation got so worse, we had to rush him to the hospital and without knowing if he had covid or no, he was admitted in a covid hospital.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So irrespective of him being positive and negative he was surrounded by people who were covid positive.


UPDATING SMALLER SYSTEMIC DIGITAL DATA FOR ACCESS

RD: One thing which is observed is that when we search on google, the nearby covid centres jahaan pe test hote hain, so there are not all the centres which are mentioned..When we were suffering from covid aur humne online search kiya tha, kaunse kaunse centres hain jahaan pe hum test karwa sakte hain. The google in Borivali was showing only one or two, like kandawala and ek aur laboratory hain woh. But later on when we personally contacted from other doctors toh pata chala that there are other local clinics also that have started these tests

so like what is happening right now that are suffering from covid, jinko test karawana hain, just because they are unaware, about the centres which are nearby their house woh log zaarein ek he laboratory par attack kar rahein hain. When we ourselves went to the laboratory, they told us wahaan pe 150 logon ka waiting hain toh,um we went to other places jahan pe there was this other clinic which was a basic dispensary type clinic, wahan gaye toh unhone bola ke hum bhi covid test karte hain, and that day itself we got a covid test done. So this is also one of the drawbacks, that there are these multiple test and vaccination centres but they are not listed 

COMPULSORY TESTING FOR DOMESTIC HELP


FS: Today only we were talking humarein class mein, yesterday we were talking we were thinking, my parents were saying ke agar vaccine abhi le lenge, toh do we have the time to, if symptoms develop kiye do tin din mein, toh yeh jayega toh possible hain kya we are protected. What happened in my building is that, like a week and a half ago, when my grandfather was positive there were 20 -25 cases, and everyone had suggested maids and all bandh kar do. Bahut usmein discussion hua tha ki, even right now when we were reading in the newspapers that 90 percent cases were in high rises, residential buildings and apartments, and very less cases, 10 percent cases in high density areas, so and we like humm humesha yeh sochte hain ki we will get affected by them but yeh kabhi nahi sochte how we are going to affect them.


or updated on google so people are not aware of ki kaunse kaunse centres aas paas hain. They only know the bigger hospitals and bigger centres that are there. So even that thing needs to be looked upon you know ki agar baaki saarein centres ka bhi pata chalta toh load thoda distribute ho jata hain. Even while going for a test, people who come in contact with other people, there are fewer chances of getting affected.


And jab yeh maids and all ka discussion chal raha tha humare building mein, toh aisa tha ki.. building mein the committee suggested ke jo bhi maids ko aana hain, unko they should either get vaccinated or rt pcr test karake aane ka, which is valid for 14 days, toh ek neighbour hain unhonein baat ki, jo ghar pe aate hai unke, they were all extremely reluctant, agar unhone rtpcr karaya aur positive aaya toh and if they are asymptomatic. Ek unhone bola ki humko positive aa gaua aur humare chawl mein aaju baaju kisiko pata chala na, toh hum itne din naahna peena humara sab khatam ho jayega kyunki, humare paas, we dont have the resources to do that. Bahut reluctance tha ki karaye test na karaye.


OXIMETER IN EACH HOME

RC: Yahaaa pe subah morning mein ek awareness van chalta hain, woh announce kartein jaata hain agar thode thode symptoms hain aapko, agar halka sa sardi zukhaam hain, ya mild fever aa raha hain toh aap test karane mat jao, home quarantine ho jao, isolate ho jao.


Matlab, yehi symptoms hain, bilkul smell aur taste nahi hain, bahut weakness hain aur oxygen levels down ho rahein hain.


Unhone oxygen meters bhi circulate kiye haar ghar mein, ke yeh rakho aur check karo, agar levels down ho rahein hain toh he test karo because the testing labs are flooded.



Usually, halka sa bhi kuch bhi hota hain you just go get tested, toh phir problematic ho jata hain, kyunki alrady hain he nahi, unke paas kits are limited. And the system is so precarious na matlab, bahut loophole hain.




Ek aur yahan pe hospital hain jahan usmein ek bed pe do do log so rahe hain. Aise bhi karna padh raha hain kyunki oxygen and beds kam hain. But yeah aise adjusting ho raha hai, without social distancing, one bed pe there are two people.
