    It's sad to see people dying more due to the secondary impact of COVID 19 than Primary impact.

    Government has to take all necessary actions to ensure people under quarantine are looked after with care.

    There is a totally different logic for the Atmospheric temperature and Hot water gargle.
    When we do hot Salt water gargling it kills germs in the throat itself and then prevents from entering into our digestive system.

    In the peak of summer with the tremendous heat wave rising by the day, there is a good chance of perishing by dehydration, heat stroke (very common in elderly), this combined with stress & loneliness & one can imagine the conditions of state run Q centers!!

    It's reported that fear kills more than the virus itself. The person must have got scared of the quarantine and depressed. We can imagine how others in the Udupi quarantine feel. All this is the result of lockdown with four hours notice. If only there was sufficient planning whereby all the visitors and migrants given an opportunity to return this and many other tragedies could have been avoided.

    I feel that the administration must quarantine the returnees as per their choice. The healthy one also feels discomfort when the administration send them to the place which they are not going to like, I feel that it affect the heart and mind. In Bangalore also many people who came from Delhi, refuse to quarantine, they have gone back to Delhi by next train.

    The cause of the "heart attack" should be investigated.
