Virtual has become an inevitable way of life today. No business can expand its reach without switching to an online mode. The biggest example of this precedent was seen when the world was grappled with Covid-19.

Post the Covid-19 outbreak, when the entire world is functioning under deep distress and there are subsequent restrictions every now and then on the opening of physical stores, only those sellers who have moved to a virtual store are functioning on the favorable side.

Not only can they manage their business as usual without opening the shop, but they can also protect themselves from heavy losses that those store owners were subjected to who operated in only physical locations.

A virtual store comes with various advantages, from being more convenient to manage, requiring lesser full-time individuals to operate, and also protecting oneself from the cost of rent of the shop to electricity and other bills. Today, smart sellers are switching to this model owing to the several advantages that it provides to them at some nominal costs.

With added convenience to operate, a virtual store also opens itself for individuals across boundaries which a physical store can not achieve.

Doctors reel under unrelenting work pressure, they work for inhumane hours, suffer from severe burnouts, undergo sleep deprivation and anxiety but despite all of these struggles, their profession demands them to put up a brave front, one that lacks any fragility. If there ever was a time when we saw doctors leading from the front, it was in the past 8 months since the country came face to face with the threats of the coronavirus pandemic. One of the most distinguished and decorated dental surgeons of India, Dr. Aman Ahuja is one such example who has been working relentlessly to bring a positive smile on his patients’ faces, quite literally! Dr.Ahuja is the brain behind the efficient functioning of “COSMODENT INDIA” – a chain of multispecialty premiere dental clinics. These clinics were envisioned to provide high-quality dental care armed with outstanding facilities and technology.

Dr.Ahuja and his team are known for handling the most complicated cases in the history of dental treatment. Along with his associates, Dr. Aman Ahuja helps patients fall in love with their smiles again, regardless of their age and the diseases they are suffering from. Dr.Ahuja has personally treated patients who were suffering from diabetes or any other life-threatening disease and has performed cosmetic services or complex restorative treatment with dental implants which last forever. Dr.Ahuja always managed to notch up successful results and smiling patients with his wonderful work.

With his vast experience and virtuosity, Dr. Aman Ahuja is successfully leading his dental implant clinic. With its ultra-modern facilities, Cosmodent India has earned a global name in dental implants and cosmetic dentistry. The in-house team of specialists caters to different specializations, each one aimed at providing you with high-quality dental solutions any time, anywhere.

One such event, in which he participated, was the SCIENTIFIC CONGRESS on “Innovative Methods and Prospects Of Implantology Development” which took place in Sochi, Russia in October 2015. Thus, his widespread knowledge and experience come in handy while treating patients with myriad dental problems.

There is no doubt that the coronavirus outbreak has affected millions of people making them homebound. But there is an alternate possibility where patients, fresh from “house arrest,” go all out and spend money on things that make them look good and feel better. Thus, Dr. Aman Ahuja, being optimistic about the future, has started providing virtual consultations to his patients to ensure their dental safety and health. India needs more doctors like him who can set an example for others and can make our country proud.

Dr. Aman Ahuja’s Qualification

Dr. Ahuja graduated from the prestigious M.S. Ramaiah Dental College and Hospital before completing his Masters in Immediate Loading Implants from Munchen-Germany under the guidance of legendary Dr. Stephen Idhe.

Dr. Balram Bhargava, the ICMR Chief, said there are primarily two reasons for the increase in the number of young people being infected in the ongoing second phase of the Covid-19 pandemic. Without discounting the possibility of variants playing a role, he said, “We have found that younger people are getting slightly more involved because suddenly they have gone out and there are variants also prevalent in the nation which may be affecting the younger people as well.”

The ICMR Chief was asked if the Centre is taking any steps to begin vaccination of the children who are said to be the focus of the third wave of the pandemic during a press conference held by the health ministry on Tuesday. According to Dr. Bhargava, there isn’t much of a disparity in age between the first and second waves.

“We have been analyzing the date since August. People above the age of 45 years are more vulnerable to any adverse outcome and the hospitalized mortality is around 9.6 to 9.7 percent,” he said. Despite the fact that an increasing number of young people are reporting the infection as part of the ongoing wave, which began in March, the Centre denied claims of a change in age groups in April. According to data released in April by the Centre, 31% of those affected in the first wave were under the age of 30, while the figure increased to 32% in 2021.

K Vijay Raghavan, the government’s chief scientific adviser, recently stated that the country should be prepared for a third wave of the pandemic, which can be avoided if proper precautions are taken. Since then, numerous studies have said that this wave would have a greater effect on children. The Maharashtra government has begun establishing pediatric care centers in the state in preparation for the thirtieth century.

Even as the country’s health system is grappling with the second wave of Coronavirus pandemic, public health experts have warned of a third wave which could be more ferocious than the prevailing one.

While one hopes the crisis to die down sooner than expected and its impact on people is minimal, necessary infrastructure must be put in place to deal with emerging situation that could put human lives at risk. It is quite obvious and natural that priority of the governments in that case would be to protect human lives and save them. In all likelihood, the issue of animal welfare would be of least interest for public authorities.

But a timely action plan could effectively address the challenge of maintaining animal welfare across the country in emergency health situation which triggers lockdowns and night curfews to prevent the infection.

Among the various measures that could ensure well being of milch animals reared in dairies and farms, and strays fed in pinjarapoles both central and local government should consider it essential service and exempt people engaged in such activities from lockdown restrictions. People involved in such activities had harrowing time during the nationwide lockdown last year causing fodder shortage for the animals.

Secondly, once lockdowns are in place outward shipment of live animals also get affected. There is fewer manpower available to take care of these animals. Since export is slow there is overcrowding of foreign country-bound animals at various farms thus restricting their movement. This considerably compromises their well being and welfare.

It has been noticed that pigs and poultries are the worst-affected. They are made to survive in little space and on limited resources. This results in various health problems for the animals with potential to eventually harm humans consuming them.

In order to address these issues, a multi-pronged approach is needed.

There has been clear evidence that income level of people has declined in pandemic times. Therefore, people although keen to donate for the cause of animal welfare may not be able to do so. This would mean fund crunch for hundreds of animal care givers in the country. A little financial support for such care givers through shelter houses and hospitals could go a long way in ensuring well being of animals.

A team of volunteers at district level could be authorised by the administration to work during pandemic times. Lakhs of stray animals suffer during lockdowns due to inadequate food and water. There is barely medical care available for them during movement restrictions.

In case of companies engaged in trade of animals, their premises should be frequently monitored and oversight mechanism should be strengthened. Further, provisions of animal welfare law should be better enforced.

In a commendable move, the Uttar Pradesh government recently issued directives to set up cow help desks in every district and provide medical equipment for cow-shelters (gaushalas). Covid protocols have to be strictly followed at these cow-shelters while thermal screening is mandatory.

Other states should take a cue from the sensitive approach taken by UP government and implement these measures. The central government could issue an advisory in this regard to all the states and Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) could exhort states to implement them.
