Double masking can improve protection from COVID-1

Double masking can improve protection from COVID-19 infection
FACT CHECK: REAL

According to CDC’s findings, wearing two masks reduces the chances of persons exchanging viral particles between them by 95%. This is more than twice the chances that wearing one mask provides, which is 42-44%.

With rising cases in India again, one should take all the necessary precautions. Wearing a well-fitting mask is extremely important and offers better protection.

FACT CHECK: FAKE

First and foremost, the World Health Organization (WHO) does not review or certify any traditional medicines for COVID-19 treatment – the Drug Controlling Authorities of respective countries do that.

On 22nd February 2021, the WHO South East Asia has further stated that it has ‘not reviewed or certified the effectiveness of any traditional medicine for the treatment of Covid-19’.

In view of the statements by the World Health Organization and #Patanjali, it is clear that Patanjali’s #Coronil has been issued a Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product by the AYUSH section of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Government of India and the claim that Coronil was approved or recommended by World Health Organization is fake.

COVID-19 is associated with #fungal infections.

FACT CHECK: REAL

As a life-threatening #infectious disease, COVID-19 patients showed susceptibility to #fungal co-infection. Moreover, COVID-19 patients accompanied with #immunocompromised state, such as prolonged neutropenia, inherited or acquired immunodeficiencies, and #tumor are more likely to develop fungal co-infection.

First COVID Tongue – Now COVID Toes? FACT CHECK

First COVID Tongue – Now COVID Toes?

FACT CHECK : REAL

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, doctors around the world have noticed that some patients who test positive for the coronavirus develop discolored and swollen toes. While COVID toes can appear at any age, children, teenagers, and young adults seem most likely to develop this condition.

Unlike what the name suggests, COVID toes may develop on your toes, fingers, or both.

It is advisable to visit a #Dermatologist immediately, if you see any of these signs because in some cases, #COVID toes go away without treatment, but due to lack of data on the subject, currently, more robust recommendations are awaited.

The COVID-19 vaccine is safe for people taking heart medications
FACT CHECK: REAL

Yes, the #coronavirus #vaccine is safe for people taking #heart #medications. There is currently no reason to think that any heart medication will interact with the coronavirus vaccine itself. Your medication won’t stop the vaccine from working, and the vaccine won’t cause problems with your medication.

It is a known fact that people with heart disease or stroke – or in other words, people with risk factors for heart disease and stroke – are at much greater risk from the virus than they are from the vaccine. Therefore, it is advisable for people on heart medications also to take the COVID-19 vaccines.

Drinking 8 glasses of water is healthy
FACT CHECK : REAL

It’s a reasonable goal, an easy to remember number and not that difficult to follow routine.

People lose fluid via the #skin, #respiration, fecal fluid and #urinary output. The recommended total daily fluid intake of 3,000 ml for men and of 2,200 ml for women is more than adequate. Higher fluid intake does not have any convincing health benefits, except perhaps in preventing (recurrent) kidney stones.

Find out the conditions in which you need less water intake and conditions in which you need more than 8 glasses of water.

The COVID-19 #vaccine is safe for people taking blood thinners like #warfarin or other anticoagulants, clopidogrel or other antiplatelet drugs
FACT CHECK: REAL
The Indian Council of Medical Research (#ICMR) on 29th January 2021 has confirmed that both the COVID-19 vaccines, #Covishield and #Covaxin, approved for emergency use in the country are safe on people on blood thinners such as #aspirin and #clopidogrel.

In general, yes, but it is best to let the caregiver who will be giving you the vaccine know if you are taking an anticoagulant and which one, because as with any injection, there is some risk of bleeding at the injection site, for example. So, if you are taking a blood thinner such as #warfarin, or a new anticoagulant, the bleeding may take a little longer to stop and you may get more bruising on your upper arm.

According to a recent report published by the Amer

According to a recent report published by the American Cancer Society, a lot of expert medical groups are now recommending that most people with #cancer or a history of cancer should get the #COVID-19 #vaccine once they are in the list of next set of recipients. The Society further clarified that the major concern around vaccines for cancer patients is not whether it would be safe or not, but about how effective it will be, especially in people with weakened #immune systems. This is because some treatments like #chemotherapy (chemo), #radiation, or #immunotherapy can affect the immune system, which might make the vaccine less effective.

Still, it is best to discuss the risks and benefits of getting the COVID-19 vaccine with your cancer doctor, who can advise you.

COVID-19 can cause delusions
FACT CHECK: REAL

Some people hospitalized with COVID-19 experienced #delirium: they were confused, disorientated and agitated. It has become clear that there is a striking incidence of #neurological involvement in this disease, the symptoms of which span reversible anosmia, stroke-related disability, and death.

An analytical study published in July estimated their prevalence using data from other coronaviruses. It analyzed that symptoms affecting the central nervous system occurred in at least 0.04% of people with SARS and in 0.2% of those with MERS.

India has become the fastest country in the world

India has become the fastest country in the world to reach 75 lac COVID-19 #vaccinations (as on 12th February 2021), according to the website of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Unfortunately, with such encouraging news, there are scamsters on the lookout for making money through fraudulent websites and calls or WhatsApp forwards claiming to have access to #COVID-19 vaccines. Please do not believe these until you have assurance from authenticated sources that the claims are true.
Readers are therefore advised to be extra cautious when dealing with any claims regarding COVID-19 vaccination or registration as any policy, regulation or registration process will be intimated to the public through all official government channels.

The vaccine is not 100% protective; the virus is not 100% lethal – should I take my chances?

According to the CDC, COVID-19 vaccination is a safer way to help build protection. Although, current evidence suggests that reinfection with the virus that causes COVID-19 is uncommon in the 90 days after initial infection, experts don’t know for sure how long this protection lasts, and the risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 far outweighs any benefits of natural immunity. COVID-19 vaccination will help protect you by creating an antibody (immune system) response without having to experience sickness.

COVID-19 vaccination programs are working
FACT CHECK: Are vaccines working?

Last week, researchers in Israel reported1 that people vaccinated there were about one-third less likely to test positive for COVID-19 compared to people who had not received a vaccine shot.

A report published in the journal Nature also states that vaccinated people in Israel are less likely to test positive for SARS-CoV-2, but a population-wide effect will take time to become clear.

India has completed vaccination for more than 4 million Indians by 3rd February 2021 (at the time of writing this). We are hopeful that with the number of vaccinated Indians, there will be more robust research carried out in the near future for better studied reports on the efficacy of vaccines on the COVID-19 infection.

Is it okay to have alcohol after vaccination?
FACT CHECK: IN PROGRESS

Recently, the Russian government issued an advisory on refraining from alcohol consumption for 45 days after the first vaccine shot– a news that had many of our viewers send us queries around alcohol impacting vaccine and its effects. According to a recent set of studies published, alcohol in moderation is fine around the time of vaccination.
However, as is expected, this should be done in MODERATION. According to Dr. Christopher Thompson, who is an Associate Professor at Loyola University Maryland’s Department of Biology who specializes in immunology and microbiology, “excessive alcohol use should be avoided around time of vaccination”.
