Are women unwilling to disclose COVID-19-like symptoms and reach out for treatment?
The ongoing door-to-door survey in Mysuru for identifying people with COVID-19 symptoms for providing early treatment in an effort to mitigate last-minute complications and hospitalisation, has disclosed the fact that many women, in view of their domestic obligations, ignore their health.
“The women are not sent to the COVID-19 Care Centres since there won’t be anyone to deal with household work in their absence. They do not get the rest or nutrition required,” said Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri, responding to the outcome of the survey being carried out by the ASHAs and healthcare volunteers in the city and taluks.

DETROIT – One of the strangest symptoms of COVID is the loss of taste and smell. Some people have discovered that when their senses return it has been altered.
The medical term is parosmia, the condition in which a person’s sense of smell is distorted, generally in a negative way. For example, meat can smell rotten or water can smell like gasoline.
Ben Bell is a Local 4 editor and after months of working on stories about COVID, his entire family caught the virus two weeks before Christmas.

One of the most common symptoms of COVID-19 is anosmia or the loss of smell. While it is known that patients suffer from both short-term and long-term anosmia, the mechanism used by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus to cause the condition has remained a mystery. Now, a new study has discovered the mechanism behind this unique symptom of the unpredictable viral infection.
The study is a collaboration between multiple French institutions. It discovered that the virus infects the sensory neurons and causes persistent inflammation of the epithelial cells within the nose and the olfactory nervous system (nerves within the nasal cavity).
