HEALTH IS WEALTH 'Hygiene' and 'pandemic' are the two new words coming across watching all news channels. Browsing all channels one by one, Social Media networks, Newspapers, Magazines and Weeklies, all have the tips of health guidelines.Wash your hands frequently, maintain social distancing, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, cover your mouth and nose with your bend elbow or tissue while coughing and sneezing and abstain from hugging and kissing are the precautions to be taken by each and everyone.It is amazing that the above mentioned guidelines are recently in Iglobal circulation by WHO, other International Organizations, all developed, developing and under developed countries I could realize that all the restrictions on human movements and health guidelines issued by world countries is a part of their efforts to sheild human beings from fatalities arises of newly emerged terrific Novel Corona Virus Disease(COVID-19) My eagerness to know about the orgin and growth of Corona Virus has helped me to understand that they are a group of viruses belong Coronaviridie family, which cause disease in mammals and birds.In human corona virus cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal.Mild ilness include some causes of common cold, while more deadly varities can cause Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome(SARS), MiddleEast Respiratory syndrome or MERS. Symptom in other species vary from one to another. In chickens they cause an Upper Respiratory Tract Infection(URTI), white in cows and pigs they cause Diarrhoea. It is very sad to read that no vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human Corona virus infections. All the world countries and renowned scientists are struggling hard to invent vaccines to destroy the most dreadful Corona Virus. From time immemorial, these microbes have been haunting world populations in different names such as Plague, Spanish flu, Zika, Ebola, Aids, H3N2, H1N1 and X7N9 flu. It is very terrific that these microbes made that world countries restless and proved all human achievements, science and technology are futile. Itcould take the lives of thousands within a short span of hours. World countries bowed down their heads in the front of the drastic harvest of a microbe. It has shattered the human resourses, economic sufficiency, oil reserves, science and technology, nuclear race, race for domination of all Continental countries such as China,South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Russia, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, America, Britain and Middle east countries. They stood helpless in front of fatalities out of Corona Virus at an alarming rate. Even it had puzzled the brain of leaders to find out burial places. There were instances of floating dead bodies in huge numbers in islands due to the lack of burial places. Going through the lines of news, a shadow of happiness flashed into my eyes while hearing the appreciation came out from WHO, world parliaments and mass across the world regarding my`Gods on Country-Kerala´ over the effective steps taken by Kerala Government to defend Corona Virus Disease. The names of kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Health Minister K.K.Shylaja were known to far flung areas for their dedication and manageability in controlling the community transmission of COVID-19 in Kerala. I breathed a sigh of relief despite the desperate news haunting my mind over the last four months. Here lies the importance of maintaining proper health. It is apt to say `Health is wealth´ it is proved that a peaceful and happy life is possible only for the healthy and fittest person. Sitting home idle does not make a man healthy. Regular exercise, dietary habbits, routine lifestyle and positive attitude plays an unique role in developing a healthy person. Clean environmental, ecological balance pure air, balanced diet,personal hygiene also have equal role to make a person physically fit. A healthy person makes the society and nation into a healthy one. The prime moto of our education to create a generation with a sound mind and sound body. It is correct to say that`Sound mind in a sound body´. Personal hygiene and cleanliness enable us to fulfil the theory of survival of the fittest. Let propogate our moto for next generation is`Cleanliness is next to Godliness ´. Let's hope for the best.
