1. Drinking lots of water or keeping mouth wet prevents one from getting COVID- 19?
No, drinking lots of water has no effect whatsoever in the prevention of COVID- 19. But Social Distancing can.
2. Is social distancing need of the moment?
Yes, as there is no clinically tested Vaccine available yet, it is extremely necessary to maintain Social Distancing.
3. SARS- CoV- 2 AKA the Corona virus can't survive on surfaces for more than 14 hours on any surface?
No, it can last for more than 14 hours. Moreover, just in air, it can survive up to 3 hours(source).
4. Drinking or eating Turmeric or Garlic or hot water can cure Novel- Corona virus?
No, there is no potential cure for Corona virus yet. Although, they can improve one's immune system💪.
5. Does eating Chicken spreads N- Corona Virus?
No, eating doesn't spread N- Corona Virus. Haha, and so the price of chicken hasn't fallen down in KFC.
6. Is Corona virus China's virus created for warfare?
No, This News is just a fake conspiracy spread based on no solid evidence.
On a side- note, I request the readers from India or any part of the world not to pass racists comments over others🙏. The case reported by the Manipuri girl from India where a person spat on her and asked her to leave India was shameful, sardonic and cynical.
7. Does holding the breath for 10 seconds or more without coughing or discomfort mean one is free from Corona Virus?
No, don't be Fool. According to WHO the common symptoms are dry cough, tiredness, and fever.
8. Does exposing oneself to higher temperature prevent the Corona virus disease?
No, higher temperature CAN'T prevent the Corona virus sease.
And so, stay Indoors as much as possible. Wash your hands for at least 20 Seconds or disinfect your hand using Alcohol based hand- rub because I don't think Hell has the facility for the same.
9. Dogs or cats or animals spread COVID- 19 to human?
The Novel Corona virus did transmit from human to animals. Although, there's no significant study that shows evidence of animals playing significant role in spreading Covid- 19.
10. Using masks is highly recommended to everyone?
No. A Healthy person needs to wear a Mask only when they are taking care of the person suspected with COVID- 19.

11. There is no need to worry about the Corona virus, it can't harm us at all.
No. Corona is a pandemic hovering upon us. And together we can help our nation curb it.
Why it is important?
If you are anywhere around the World then let me bring to your notice that the Idea to write the Blog came to mind at around 7.30 PM IST on 31st March 2020 (i.e. +5:30 GST). The number of cases around the world then was 8, 46,000. And the number of deaths that took place where 41, 482. (source).
Check the link out to find the current numbers. I bet you will be DAMN SHOCKED!
How?
1. Together we take a pledge to stay Indoors as much as possible. And step out of the house only for the essentials.
2. Help the one in need. This help need not be in the form of donations of Lakhs or Crores of Rupees, rather it can be as simple as paid- leave to the house- help.
3. Don't purchase essentials in bulk. One way to do so is purchasing a Week or Maximum of 10 days stock. This will reduce the frequency of stepping outside the house and won't create a shortage of Food and other Essentials.
Be it any country and any government, though, on lockdown, the last thing it needs in this situation of pandemic is panic among citizens due to shortage of essentials. And so, the supplies will largely remain the same for the citizens. [And so, follow the right news.]
4. Create awareness around the people. Share the right kind of Information. Show support and empathy to one another.
