Why is the sewerage system monitored?

Many steps are being taken in many developed countries to control the corona virus epidemic - where corona tests are now available in many places and many governments are providing free corona test kits to people at home. The city's sewerage system is also being monitored - scientists take water samples from the sewerage system and track the presence of various viruses and bacteria in them - as soon as possible in which neighborhood the corona virus is spreading. Detection is done by sampling sewage water. By taking sewage water samples from different places in the same area, experts can quickly find out from which part of the street the corona virus is entering the sewage system. The corona test of the people in the area immediately reveals where the virus is present in the house - the occupants of the house and the surrounding neighborhood can be given a dose of the vaccine and the infected person is instructed to quarantine. In order to prevent the virus from spreading further, a similar sampling revealed the presence of the polio virus in London's sewerage system.

How did the polio virus reach London?

Polio has now been eradicated from all over the world except Pakistan and Afghanistan. The polio virus, like other parts of the body, makes copies in the stomach and intestines and is excreted in the feces. Polio virus in developing countries It is usually spread by waste - especially in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Since we clean our hands after we have finished our work, the virus can spread to our hands. Washing leaves a virus on the hands that can be transmitted to other people - this is called fecal-oral transmission - in Pakistan and Afghanistan children are vaccinated so that the vaccine reaches the digestive tract directly and there Don't let any virus get in the way - In Western countries, the polio vaccine that is given by injection is fecal-oral.

Those who do not understand why developed countries provide free vaccines to Pakistan and Afghanistan to eradicate polio must read this article - Polio is now eradicated from all over the world except two countries, namely Pakistan and Afghanistan - The World Health Organization (WHO) has allocated about ڈالر 300 million for the supply and distribution of vaccines to eradicate polio from the two countries. Billions of dollars will be needed and it is difficult to estimate the damage that will be done to the world economy - so it is wise to try to eradicate polio - the polio virus is a human virus that only The human body can make its own copies - once it is eradicated from the human body all over the world, the disease will be gone forever.

Smallpox has already been eradicated from the world thanks to a similar international campaign. Like polio, the smallpox virus can neither survive outside the human body nor make copies in any other animal. The polio eradication campaign was designed in the style of a successful smallpox campaign. At the time of the smallpox eradication, there was no social media or conspiracy theories in the world, so the anti-smallpox campaign was very successful. And smallpox was eradicated from the world in 1980 - but unfortunately there was a lot of propaganda on social media and print media against the polio campaign which continues to this day - so the campaign against polio has not been successful yet and Pakistan And new polio cases are still being discovered in Afghanistan

The Corona virus has cost the global economy 8.5 trillion - a major cause of the current global economic crisis that is being felt in Pakistan as well. Even if governments around the world already

If epidemic prevention was funded on a priority basis, the corona could have been prevented before it became a pandemic - the cost of such programs would have been less than one percent of the damage caused by the corona epidemic - polio eradication Funds are also being provided because if polio re-emerges in the world, it will cost many times more to prevent it.
