7:35 am
them anything if you are on you tube make use of the comments section of the part of today's discussion and part of today's q. and a let me start with you dr tucker the last time we spoke to you on the street we said how is it how is the 2nd wave going in india fast forward to today what would you say where the thinking maybe in india has been good if you are. doing the 1st move. around 01100000 cases id but now in the current we are having about 400000 years ago so you can imagine the level of the restoration not engulfing our country you're having we've seen too many dead too many dead that we could have awarded. it's basically basically a mess right now dr so and i am on your twitter feed and it is a joy to behold in terms of giving out information your medical services far beyond
7:36 am
just taking care of patients you are there aren't suing questions i wish i could answer all questions but running a hectic clinic or shed your i am so glad that you're here with us right now what is the most popular question you are being asked right now i mean there's no one question that i could be going through several questions that everybody is asking me. i think the most common question is when they test positive for covert they all go into a state of panic so they want to know what to do at home when to call a doctor when to head for a hospital so these are basically the theme of the commentary that i'm getting so we obviously have a protocol for management and what i tell them is to connect with a good girl with tradition and there are several positions all across the country in every hospital and all the physicians who do not normally practice and on
7:37 am
medicine or parliamentary medicine also david ted and now started people about it because every hospital has a fixed goal without a cause so the online deems that on seeing people's grades and in track helping them through mild queered at home has really gone 100 fold compared to last so we have said protocols we advise them on the protocols we tell them when to you know what morning signs to look for when to head for a hospital and so on. the other common question relates to vaccination so a lot of people are asking us you know if i am on blood thinners going to have the vaccine if i had the 1st vaccine then i had a mild infection do i take my 2nd 2nd shot and so on they have all been on vaccination quite a lot i said so as to something you can ask all those questions without giving us the ounces immediately admitting it though had not sent us. so there's this
7:38 am
simple dictum on blood thinners that everybody should get the vaccine even if their own blood as if they're running a particularly high level of drug and consult your cardiologist or of a school or doctor or the internal tradition who's taking care of you you might want to stop those for 3 or 4 days and then take the heart for more than 95 percent of the people on blood thinners which include anti platelets grants and your regular doses of anticoagulants you can go right ahead and take that. all right straight answer that i appreciate that and i want to show you something here this is care on my laptop and this is what the string put out a little bit earlier a 2nd wave of coronavirus is overwhelming health facilities income a toy ems what questions do you have about covalent india and i'm just going to go down to mn of an os why can't they lock down the country and wondering if you look
7:39 am
down the movement stop social gathering maybe that will help the 2nd wave a new what if anything reporting on the idea of a lockdown. a couple of weeks ago i did write a story about why 2nd lockdown would be a bad idea and i think you know we were not thinking if numbers like this at that time and experts did feel that a lockdown would be excessive i think unfortunately we've now reached a situation where health facilities are so overwhelmed that a lockdown has now become incumbent in that did have a lockdown last year which was a brutal lockdown and it triggered a humanitarian crisis with millions of people walking out on the streets and trying to get home we are gotten to facing a lockdown it's just that it's different from last year or so last year was a nationwide lockdown and what we currently have actually delhi which is the capital of the country so we're having a sort of regulated lockdown in different parts of the country where different
7:40 am
governments state governments are taking that call on their own so there isn't a nationwide lockdown of yes i mean we do have a lockdown in different parts of the country which now just has to happen because health facilities are overwhelmed does a cut i saw another day but i know i know one who don't you think can i just come in here so close so don't you think we are we're like a mini world and also i mean we have we are such a large population we are a huge country we have so many states we're like several countries together and therefore. it's either regional lockdown that's our thinking different parts of the country and more states are following is going to be necessary to a great the chain of transmission to give a breather to the health care workers to give a breather to the supply chain of essential to be oxygen supplies and get them all to get young water some back to ramp up the vaccination drive so here obviously
7:41 am
along the likes of locked up but we have never to be heading towards if not a nicely locked down a sequential lockdown of the country and we have seen that in delhi and bombay the . started the numbers are actually coming down to be still 6 but they're going up you know what you're going to. i mean what a lot. of things people like me perhaps you know we have this privilege of ordering food home and working from home and you know a lot is ok for me but this country is not brave mostly of people like me who comprise of people who actually do need to you know do physical labor and we don't . go out to work yet they're going to see ours so there was a humanitarian crisis with us 1st locked down so i do understand why that what the problem is with with another locked up not down i'm going to push this on a little bit because i have so many questions thank you for your patience this is and go shall she says please can you explain about black fungus dr kaka is that
7:42 am
sort of that you want to pick up on because that is this is going around online a lot of black fungus what. we are seeing again is in rich people the president with a new quote my course is that the name of the disease that has been done that's that fungal so patients who are on steroids or patients were immunocompromised or you know say they are going on steroids so these are the kind of patients one more susceptible to also get out infections which may be baffling factions which may be fungal infections so this is something that that's going around in maharashtra and in places where we saw that they can live only even in delhi within a few cases people are coming up with being in there in the around that i didn't around that odd bit you know in the forehead so the you know the patients were treated for it as. medicines without antifungal medicine and. who are more.
7:43 am
patients who are immunocompromised patients who are that big so you know the kind of vision we need to be very careful with the amount of steroids they're digging bendish start with steroids and when they stop just did. a lot of people i nor who are taking steroids far for it mind you this is something that's not recommended anywhere people are just popping steroids like you know like it's candy there's something that's not recommended anywhere in the world and i would so did anybody who was watching this video do not big steroids if it's not indicated by your doctor or somebody who was actually treating your do not start out on your board consult a doctor so what i'm showing here on my screen is a tweet and it's also on your instagram post about what that fungus is stuck to so in and of people your ideas of exactly going dr tucker about when you should. stand wise when you shouldn't and the complications that happen from that the cause
7:44 am
of that fungus so that instead as you can go to dr alvin does saying so in instagram or so his twitter that that information that is potentially deadly i want to move on to a topic that a lot of you were talking about online and that is vaccines let's start with this comment 1st of all go ahead the other day we would go to the symptoms of 19 and i would read the article you don't want to know more about the long term complications of the disease on the body and that's what is back solution to the most common question we're going to be using it now probably be loose. lips or duty black you know not be. music and selenium you know exactly so we're going to lose that is. there's no absolute for you if you're a loser and have access to exit doors to good and. deltas so many questions about
7:45 am
vaccines veggie evils on the right knowledge of says hello everyone i've been trying to register for a jap i caught that one i thought into the task with a little to 40 for his own it's hard to do for us what is the problem not to sell him with people who are ready to thought of axel in a column that one but i mean it's no secret that he is falling vocally short of the vaccines at the actually made we have a huge shortage we grossly miscalculated the number of vaccine be going to need or rather how long they would take to deliver and we would have to administer them in a few months so i think stand now we've only administered about it nearly $200000000.00 as well as we need to administer $1200000000.00 is if you want to get anywhere near the levels that israel or u.k. are in the moment and they're being able to see the end of the pandemic at least
7:46 am
for now so to to get all of this you need to actually do to the east 50 or 60 percent of your population and bats when the numbers go big number has been stuck to decline so we're falling short of axioms now what's being done about about seeing this something that i'd like to discuss and i've treated for several days on the shortage of rex you know what we need to do are we need to x. need about a 1000000000 more with 1000000000 more dollars in the next 6 months where does that 6 months come from we're in the midst of the 2nd wave which is speaking now hopefully plotting out and going but the experience of the rest of the world we probably have between 4 and 6 months before we get the 3rd baby and these are there for a 6 months that we have to use to back so they drafted me. having said that i look better that asco out of the better the vaccine is going to come from site. sorry yeah i was going to add on the same point i mean you know if. a little proved
7:47 am
please but only 2 that are currently being used and both of these a vaccine that are being made in india saw a doctor i mean this point where the vaccine is going to come from they're actually being made in india it's a talking shaman pretty that you know it's not like maxine that having to be flown into the country from elsewhere but we've just miscalculated and i don't know how we can miscalculate we knew how many people we have in this country and how many people are going to need the vaccine but policymakers just didn't count the number of. the number i mean what a terrible irony making let me say that because i think i was a doctor so if i may because i've got more i've got more questions if i may because because we're trying to do the questions i'm making available for our audience this is ashish ashish mishra dr tucker have a listen to she says question and come back with an outside here we've got. people who. are not positive but there are some good markets so the. parents somehow.
7:48 am
or maybe they were positive. arthritic over 60 or 70. to the extreme how. terrible. side effects or any. group for good or for the. that's a very interesting question that i just got and according to me i think this shouldn't ever create a problem because of the effect the vaccine has on the body and the effect that quote unquote has on the body is to create immunity and you getting immunity from any means by getting the infection and so far we're getting. you know unless the infection of the vaccine so it's like it want to hurt you in any manner you can safely go for a vaccine you know the godless of regardless of what they were symptoms or is symptomatic you maybe you can go for the vaccine. pick up on that because people also ask what is the back side. even though. is that an option
7:49 am
now look so we have to accept it and go back soon and go we've both had been shown to be effective in producing antibodies to be exposed to the 2nd shot so the 1st shot is given on daisy you know so could we she would you have to wait 6 to 12 weeks before you get the 2nd short answer or correction you have to wait 12 weeks and 2 weeks after the 2nd short you have protection against cold and now you still may get mild injection after vaccination and there have been many great 2 directions as we called them but. the vaccines prevent severe disease and death that is something that's a fact that is universal across the world in india and elsewhere but all the approved vaccines right now i'd like to also qualify the statement that comrade just needs if you don't know that you have overweight and you are have asymptomatic
7:50 am
or waiting to go ahead and get the vaccine there will be no problem but if you do have over it and if you have the fever and cough it is actually recommended that you recover from that and if it's been mild then 15 days after recovery you can have no explanation but if it's been my great dose of europe then you have to wait a month before you will go ahead and get vaccinated in fact we do it mit new vaccines in the u.s. the c.d.c. recommends waiting 90 days before you go ahead and get your back seat belt to be an actual i'm for indian vaccines the recommendation is between 15 and 30 days depending on who wants to get a good infection has been. i am thinking i know the both headlines have been coming out of india in the past 2 weeks one hospitals being overwhelmed 2 vaccines not being available from the pharmacy of the well versus india and 3 widely about that reince this is what i want to put up with the next video because critic has
7:51 am
a question about the valiants have a listen and once have what you know about france the biggest question the public is facing and you know we're all finding on search for is how is this is why this my lens is going to change over time and go down and go down the potential risks of this new these mutations and changing the violence factor. out of state i mean i think that's a question for the commission on the program the w. 2 has just said today that the bait and in india they are now classifying it as a variant of concern and not just a variant of interest so this means that india has sort of if that is has been updated honestly just a day just a couple of hours ago but this specific that you can see that i passed it on to the experts on the on the bank can i take that of course that was cost so there's a paper published and turn a coup in texas disease it's just $2.00 days ago which shows that in the water tree
7:52 am
the coal back scene was effective against the indian media and which is the b. 1.617 right so in the lubanga tree we saw that it was affecting the real world experience is still not being generated because we haven't done enough genomic testing of patients that have been followed long which would lead off converts emission but we are hoping that the vaccination 2 doses of the vaccination really prevent severe disease and death even among the big games this is like i said has been seen with the other back seen the millers to the world including good south africa and you can be against it and be a hoping and praying that even with the indian body and to do it as a vaccine should be ok i mean even this time we haven't had that many severe diseases and beds among patients will be back for me to. you don't remember. i don't do something. even if even if there are multitudes of murder and going around
7:53 am
the mask who would protect you from any kind of media and the mask would give them any kind of new additions or rather than what do you about radio and going around rather than worry about musicians going around you should be focused on. you should wear your glasses you should use on it a little bit over and just just relax because. you must know you and you shared your question or with the doctors because variance is not just a news story but it also is a science story but i'm going to give this one to you in the doctors will not want to answer this one this is from sub had she said when she says i really want to ask about the hour can survive prime minister it has destroyed us there's a lot of complaining on the you tube comments about prime minister modi because of the way he has handled this entire situation with a 2nd wave in india as
7:54 am
a reporter how is that being played out in india. absolutely and the reason babs whatever doctors may not be able to would they need to do their job. we have a prime minister this is a 2nd term that he is the prime minister he's been he's one with an overwhelming majority so he's an important man and i have wondered if a reporter watching several broadcast that he has made to the nation why on any of these broadcasts he wouldn't have used that amazing time that he has with a whole country wrapped around his finger why he didn't use that time more effectively to just tell us the kind of things that we need to tell us you know he's a prime minister was speaks in hindi in b. is the is a language that's spoken by large majority of this country to speak to people in the language they understand you know there's so much of or an adulation for this prime minister just tell people the kind of things they need to hear this is also a government that likes to brag and as a journalist closely tracking statements from this government watching their press releases they have bragged but 9 you know the evidence right now does not allow it
7:55 am
any more bragging and. you know my sense is that all that and i like wheat and i took a look at it it's going to be to the some time ago i said if there's an election to be this government will still win again i do believe that because at a number of reasons why there is love for this government in this prime minister. you know i think. everybody whether you support his government or you don't whether you have had your business prospered or you have and everybody has lost someone this pandemic and that will impact at some level the next time we go to vote so we have so many questions on id cheve comment section thank you everybody for taking part in this program it really shows how much how much the information is needed and our experts have done an excellent job one of the things i haven't done though instead of taking care of you i'm wanting to taking care of a doctor kaka how medical professionals doing how is their health paying the scenes that we've seen in the last few weeks are excruciating how is your mental health
7:56 am
how are your colleagues mental health. but i know i know a lot of people around me who are an antidepressant right now who are taking on the end i did gobbler to out on pedigree date now a lot of my colleagues who just want to designed it just want to get out of medicine as a good he had it as a little. we're hanging by a thread we are. but i'm proud we had a look and it's really hard to put into words how you know young doctors in dylan's doing it as has been seen it is going to put in there that were doing this last one well your and even now the band doesn't seem to end we're just we're just witnessing so much misery even witnessing so much that. we were never prepared for this never never but. don't you go don't you go to work everybody like you don't. why do you go to i don't know that it's just emotive words because you still have
7:57 am
that you still have that zeal inside you to save lives i think that is what is driving us so while what you said is absolutely true we had all of the end of our to the oil obviously we want out of this but i think that the morale and the spirit of the l.-k. workers are still pretty high and you know they may be suffering on the plus no trend but on the professional front i don't think there is any let up or told everybody the asian i think partly because the emboldened by the fact that the all blacks need to most of us. you know but example i had my 2nd bout of school with starting about 3 and a half weeks ago madison says for about 5 you know i had symptoms for about 5 days but luckily after that i was ok and through the 15 days that i was isolated i was doing about 20 to 25 consoles down the line every day that to sell and and and all to ask out recently you thank you for your service in india and for us here on the
7:58 am
stream i'm going to leave it to so and kaka thank you very much for being part of the string today and. thank you for your questions we appreciate them take everybody saying about the time. mccall's redrawing the geopolitical map for a post oil world where does that leave the oil producers colombia's tax revolts but the n b a nation still needs to figure out how to cut its debt and where are the self-drive cars. counting the cost on al-jazeera.
