    Many patients who suffer CORONA like symptoms are already half dead due to CORONA phobia; psychoneuroimmunology plays a very important part in the prognosis; psychological distress weakens the immune system thus making one more easy vulnerable to the virus!
    BTW, there are reports of many suicides from people who suspected strongly they had acquired CORONA after developing flu like symptoms!

    All ambulances should be provided with a nurse and emergency drugs and life saving basic equipments should be provided to make sure they are resuscitated or provided emergency drugs and further managed appropriately in the hospital..... Let's learn from foreign countries....

    Incorrect statements.
    COvid death comes secondary to Cytokine storm... Can be very rapid... Desaturation and death.
    PCR test for COvid by swab is 70%accuracy.. whichmeans 30%can be false negatives.
