Context :
Highlights :
Ø Tests
conducted till date of those who are SYMPTOMATIC …………9,100 [ in past 4 weeks ? ]
Ø Test
probes being imported for DIAGNOSTIC testing ………………………… 1,000,000 ( 1 million )
Ø Currently
MoHFW is NOT even testing everyone who is SYMPTOMATIC
But WHO will you select to administer those 1 Million
probes ? [ not questioning about the number of labs / technicians and time
required to administer these imported probes !
]
Obviously those who are SYMPTOMATIC
What is that FIRST symptom ?
Raised BODY TEMPERATURE
( - currently being detected by a hand-held THERMAL sensor , pointed at
forehead of a person )
Most certainly , we must not WASTE those 1 million probes , by testing
persons who DO NOT have high body temperature
From
among India’s 1370 MILLION citizen, we must , FIRST identify precisely those 1 MILLION
,who are running high body temperature !
There is no way we can sort out those 1 Million ( out
of 1370 million ), using hand-held sensors !
Not even in next 10 YEARS !
And , if we cannot IDENTIFY ( quickly – accurately –
cheaply ) those 1 Million within next 10 WEEKS ,
we are bound to reach “ STAGE THREE “ of community transmission !
The only way out is to ask our scientists to implement
:
Marriage
of Technologies to contain Corona ? Yes !
I urge the following LEADERS , to consider my
above-mentioned suggestion :
Ø Shri Ashwini Kumar Choubey, Minister of State, MoHFW [ moshealth.akc@gov.in
]
Ø Shri
Lav Agarwal , Joint Secretary, MoHFW
[ alav@ias.nic.in
]
Ø Shri
R Gangakhedkar, ICMR [ rgangakhedkar.hq@icmr.gov.in / gangakhedkar.r@icmr.nic.in ]
Ø Shri
Ravi Singhal, Gen Sec, AIOCD [ aiocd@vsnl.net / aiocd@aiocd.com ]
