Mangaluru, Jul 10: Even as the coastal district of Dakshina Kannada continues to be the hotbed of communal tension following a spate of stabbings and murders, a group of Muslims has upheld the humanity by trying to solve the problems of poor Christian and Hindu families. The following five instances show that the communal harmony too exist in the region.

*55 year-old Bhavani Shetty, a resident of Alape in Saripalla road, Mangaluru, has been ill for quite some time now. She lives alone as her husband and only son are no more. Her shack has no toilet or electricity. A team Hidaaya Foundation, a Mangaluru based Muslim philanthropic group, visited her house ensured the construction of a toilet in her house.

*Aithppa, who resides behind Divyajyothi School, Vamanjoor along with other Koragas, is a 44 year-old and is bed-ridden from the last 7 years. He is unmarried and is being taken care of by a family there. The team that visited him has promised to sponsor his medicines.

*Mohini and her mother are leading a very difficult life along with her 4 sisters, in Iruvail’s Kettikal. 3 of them are sick. They are not sure of any future they might have. The team that visited them has promised to provide them with food supplies for 1 year.

*Shivanagara, Moodushedde’s resident Veronica D’silva lives with her husband. They are childless. Their little hut does not have electricity supply. The team that visited them has decided to provide them with electricity.

*Piyad Crasta is a widow who stays in Adarsh Nagar, Vamanjoor. Her 40 year-old son is sick. They live in a hut. The team that visited them promised to supply food to them every month.

In above five cases, three are Hindu families and two families belong to Christian community. The Hidaya Foundation team consisted of the president Mohammed Hanif Haji Goltamajalu, Asif Dilsjubail, Basheer T K Pharangipet, Abdul Razak Anantadi.

Lily Mary of Vamanjoor Dharmajyoti informed the Hidaya Foundation about the situation of these families and joined them. A Christian woman joining hands with a Muslim foundation to help Hindu and Christians has set a whole new example of communal harmony in the coastal district where Communal violence is what everybody has been witnessing lately.

The Hidaya Foundation has been helping people in need irrespective of their caste and religion for the past 6-7 years and has constructed a Hidaya Share and Care Colony in Kaavalakatte. 60 houses have been built in the 5 acre colony for widows and their families. The Foundation has helped the widows to live a life of self-dependence.

The Foundation is also running a school for disabled children. It has helped thousands of sick people. It provides ration every month to about 285 families irrespective of religion. With the help of Muslim philanthropists of Mangaluru residing around the world, the Foundation has been working to win hearts all over Mangaluru.

Dexamethasone is a life-saving coronavirus drug, claim Oxford scientists

News Network

June 16,2020

University of Oxford researchers have claimed that a cheap and widely available drug called dexamethasone can help save the lives of patients who are seriously ill with coronavirus.

Scientists working on the Recovery Trial found the drug could help patients on ventilators and oxygen, but had no effect on those who did not need help breathing.

“Based on these results, one death would be prevented by treatment of around eight ventilated patients or around 25 patients requiring oxygen alone,” researchers said in a statement.

Matt Hancock, the health secretary, tweeted: “This global first exemplifies the power of science.”

“I’m absolutely delighted that today we can announce the first successful clinical trial for a treatment for Covid-19,” Mr Hancock said.

Recovery Trial experts said a randomised group of 2,104 patients was given 6mg of dexamethasone per day for 10 days, while another group of 4,321 were given normal treatment.

Dexamethasone reduced deaths by one-fifth in patients on oxygen feeds and by one-third in those who needed a ventilator to breathe, preliminary results showed.

Mr Hancock added: “This is a huge step forward and it’s because we’ve backed the science.”

Martin Landray, professor of medicine and epidemiology at the Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford, and one of the trial’s chief investigators, said in a statement: “These preliminary results from the Recovery Trial are very clear – dexamethasone reduces the risk of death among patients with severe respiratory complications.

“Covid-19 is a global disease – it is fantastic that the first treatment demonstrated to reduce mortality is one that is instantly available and affordable worldwide.”

Trials of drug dexamethasone in Covid-19 cases have brought success in saving lives , claim Oxford University scientists on 16 June 2020.

According to news reports on 16 June , 2020 , Oxford University Scientists have conducted trials on anti-inflammatory steroid Dexamethasone in Covid-19 cases. Results released by the Oxford University on 16 June 2020 say that the low-cost and easily available drug saves the people seriously infected by Coronavirus , cuts the death risk by a third for those on ventilators and by a fifth for those on oxygen. The commentary on the drug reads like this :-

“ This is a tremendous news today from the recovery trial showing that dexamethasone is the first drug to reduce mortality from Covid-19. It is particularly exciting as this is an inexpensive widely available medicine. This is a ground breaking development in our fight against the disease and the speed at which researchers have progressed finding an effective treatment , is truly remarkable. It shows importance of doing high quality clinical trials and basing decisions as the results of those trials”.

Covid-19 has taken into its grip the entire world during first half of the year 2020 , infecting lacs and killing also lacs of its patients. In the absence of an effective drug or vaccine , people had no choice other than to look up to the heavens or scientists to come with some cure. And the drug described here is the first one to respond to the prayer of the global community , it seems. As regards a vaccine , only few are claiming that it can come by the end of the present year 2020. Rather , some are of the view that it may take a larger part of the year 2021 and could even go to mid-2022. Whatever that scenario about prospect of arrival of vaccine to treat Covid-19 may be , the news that was broken on 16 June 2020 by the Oxford University scientists in relation to drug dexamethasone would have sent a wave of strength and hope among people world-wide. And this Vedic astrology writer was spirited for another reason as well - a prediction of when some relief by way of drug to fight Covid-19 may appear , having come accurate in the claim announced by Oxford University on 16 June 2020. This writer had , based on interpretation and application of Vedic astrology , contributed in early April , 2020 an opinion piece - “ Some searchlight on way out of Covid-19 presently tormenting mankind” - to a number of newspapers. It was also contributed on 11 April , 2020 using the ‘ comments’ column of article -‘ Heard Charles took Ayurveda treatment-based Ayush drugs for Covid-19’ - at theprint.in/india/looking-at-evidence-based-ayush-medicines-to-treat-covid-19-minister-shripad-naik/393407/. The text in the opinion piece related to the claim of success announced by Oxford University scientists on 16 June , 2020 , reads like this :-

“ So reading in between the lines , it can be said that some effective drug or remedy can arrive by mid or towards the last week of June 2020 to provide some relief during July to September 2020 , to some good extent”.

The point this writer wants to share with readers world-wide is that yes , a drug envisaged in the aforesaid prediction has appeared on the horizon in the claim announcement of Oxord University scientists on 16 June , 2020.
