00:00People are wearing masks on the streets, saying that they won't get corona. That's wrong.

00:04They must have taken shares of N95 company.

00:07They want the company's shares to increase.

00:10They won't benefit, the company will benefit.

00:16You know, there is a lot of WhatsApp forwards regarding eating garlic, vitamin C and applying sesame oil.

00:24Do you think it is an appropriate thing to do?

00:26Do you think that this is one of the things that you can do to cure such a deadly disease like corona, sir?

00:32Corona is a new disease. It's a new virus.

00:36The 100% public is not immune to it.

00:39The immunity level is zero.

00:41Therefore, it has been declared as a pandemic.

00:43Eating turmeric, garlic, vitamin C and sesame oil will cure the disease.

00:53This is wrong.

00:54These things are good for your health.

00:57But don't eat these things because they won't cure corona.

01:04There is a lot of confusion regarding masks.

01:06Some people are stopping masks.

01:08Mask is one of the things that you can prevent the virus.

01:12There are different kinds of masks available in the market.

01:15They are quite expensive.

01:16Do you think masks should be worn or not?

01:19People are wearing masks on the streets, saying that they won't get corona.

01:22That's wrong.

01:24People should wear masks if they have a disease like corona, so that it doesn't spread to others.

01:29When doctors wear masks, they wear N95.

01:34They wear it because they have to be safe from TB.

01:37You don't have to wear a mask just for corona.

01:40Let me give you an example from India.

01:42Sir, people are wearing N95 masks in the US and roaming in the market.

01:46This is so wrong.

01:47That's absolutely wrong.

01:49They must have bought shares of the N95 company.

01:52They want the company's shares to increase.

01:54They won't benefit, but the company will benefit.

02:01There is another myth, sir.

02:02Go near hot things and stay away from cold things.

02:05What is the truth behind it?

02:07People say that they drink alcohol so that the worms in my stomach die.

02:12This is absolutely wrong.

02:13It's a myth.

02:14Cold food doesn't kill the virus.

02:17If cold food killed the virus, then we wouldn't have any disease.

02:21Because in our body, cold and hot food are the same in the stomach.

02:26So to say that eating ice cream causes a disease, or drinking hot water will kill the disease,

02:33or drinking whiskey will kill the disease, is a myth and wrong.

02:38Start with your nose, keep your nose wet.

02:41That is only for those people who have dry nose, so that your hand doesn't touch your nose.

02:47It's not to save the virus.

02:49Your nose shouldn't touch your hand.

02:51If you keep your throat wet, it won't cause the virus.

02:54That's not correct.

02:55That's not correct.

02:58And people say that if you drink a lot of water, your whole body, small and large hands will remain wet.

03:03The virus will come out of the throat.

03:05This is also wrong.

03:06The virus is a respiratory virus.

03:10It is important to know that if your hydration is good,

03:14and if you have a flu or have a corona-like illness,

03:18then your dry cough will come out completely.

03:22But this will make the virus disappear. No way.
