Experts have warned that if the Covid-19 infection spreads excessively, it will be necessary to go for collective immunity. In this case, special protection for the elderly, the chronically ill and children should be adopted in the collective defense against the infection. This means fighting the virus by increasing immunity.
Experts say it is important to increase health capacity for collective immunity. Going for mass immunization in case of uncontrolled infection is a compulsion for a country with poor health facilities.
"The government's actions indicate that the country is moving towards herd immunity," said a public health expert. Rajendra BC said, 'We have to wait for months for the corona vaccine to arrive. Accidents can happen if we don't move forward in a systematic way. '
In case of need for herd immunity, the rate of infection may increase and the death rate may be higher. At that time, special safety policy should be adopted for the elderly, chronically ill, respiratory problems, low immunity, pregnant women and pregnant women who are at risk of corona.
The government has not made any decision to go for herd immunity. Sameer Kumar Adhikari said. "Heard immunity is the only option to avoid the risk of covid-19, not only in us but in the world right now," said Dr. Adhikari.
According to experts, there are currently only two options for gaining immunity against COVID-19 in the world - to develop immunity through the invention of the vaccine and to resist it even if there is an infection with COVID-19. The corona vaccine is expected to take at least a year to develop. So the second option will have to be taken. This means that the person himself will increase immunity. Heard immunity makes it difficult to protect the elderly, who have low immunity, have complex physical problems.
If many people are infected at the same time, it will be difficult to manage a country like Nepal. Therefore, the government has taken a strategy to prevent the infection of many people at once, said an official of the Ministry of Health. The government has continued the policy of prolonging the lockdown and preventing the spread of the disease as an epidemic. "There is no alternative but to get vaccinated," said another senior health ministry official.
According to public health expert Dr. BC, the exact age group of people who are resistant to COVID-19 has not been determined yet. About 60 to 70 percent of the population is considered to be immune to the infection. "Covid-19 is very contagious, it spreads rapidly when the lockdown is removed or loosened," said Dr. "It is also important to see if our health care system can support the patient's burden as more infections increase the number of patients," BC said.
A few days ago, when hundreds of scientists protested against the development of herd immunity in Britain, the government had chosen the option of lockdown. Various studies have shown that only 10 to 20 percent of people in areas affected by COVID-19 have received antibodies. BC said. 'Kovid-19 has come to the human race, it is not going to go. It would be good if our young and healthy people did not get Covid-19 and if we could reduce the mortality rate, 'said Dr. Divya Singh Shah said, "People gradually develop resistance to it, otherwise it will continue to cause grief in the coming years." Dr. Shah said most of those killed in Italy and Australia were young, but most were over 90 years old. 'People at risk should be protected. Youth should not be made more tight. The tighter we try, the more Kovid-19 hurts, 'he said.
Another expert from the Ministry of Health claimed that India has moved towards herd immunity after extensive relaxation in neighboring countries, including Lakdaun. "In the lockdown, we haven't been able to focus much on increasing our health care capacity," he said. "Let's be more vigilant, increase PCR testing, manage quarantine and isolation, expand ICU capacity and think only about herd immunity."
The World Health Organization (WHO) has questioned the preservation of herd immunity. According to experts, an infection develops in a person. It makes antibodies to fight the virus. As the individual's immune system develops, so does the risk of infection. At that point, people gradually become more resistant to the virus.
