00:00I think you should all praise the administration for how sincere it is, how serious it is for the safety of its people, for the welfare of its people.
00:10Look, there are two types of enemies. One that comes from the front and fights, and the other is an invisible enemy.
00:15And when the enemy is not visible in front of us, we have to do everything to protect ourselves.
00:20We have to do everything to protect ourselves.
00:22And the word you are using, quarantine, we heard this word and felt it in 2020-2021 when COVID came.
00:32This word quarantine cannot be used near this episode. This is not quarantine.
00:37This is not quarantine, this is just a localized area where unprecedented deaths have occurred, 17 deaths have occurred.
00:44And we also know and our reports have said that this is not a virus, not a bacteria.
00:49Look, first of all, I will justify my statement as to why I am saying that this is not an infectious disease or a virus or a bacteria.
00:55First of all, we have reports from big premier institutes, country institutes, in which they have clearly ruled out any bacterial or viral infection.
01:05This is a matter of reports. Let me talk about before the report came.
01:08The first case came to us on December 7.
01:11Since December 7, our doctors, our paramedical workers, our healthcare workers are dealing with these patients.
01:17My team and I have come to Badal village many times and sat there. We have spent the whole day there.
01:23Neither has any of my doctors been sick, nor have any of my healthcare workers been sick, nor have I been sick.
01:29I used to hug Mohammad Aslam and Fazal. I hugged Mohammad Fazal yesterday as well.
01:35So, if this was an infection, then Dr. Bhatia would have had something or the other by now.
01:40My healthcare workers would have had something. Our team would have had something.
01:43Our CMO's team would have had something. Our epidemiologist's team would have had something.
01:48And this disease would have reached Sundarbans from Badal, Kandi, Palma, Rajori.
01:56It's been a month and a half now.
01:58So, all this circumstantial evidence, plus added by the laboratory reports, we are sure that it is not an infective process.
02:07Secondly, why has the district administration picked them up?
02:12The district administration has picked them up because they are very serious about their people's safety.
02:20Now, this is not a quarantine. This is a localised area where we feel that there is something to eat, something to drink.
02:27There is something that is making these people sick.
02:30Now, they are being taken out of their homes and brought to a safer place.
02:34First of all, they are being brought to a safer place in a hospital so that they can be kept under observation.
02:39If they need it, they can be given medical care.
02:42Dr. Bhatia, how many people are being kept under observation?
02:45I will use the word observation as a secondary word.
02:48First of all, I will say that they have been shifted to a safer place.
02:51It is an area where we feel that there is some endemic danger.
02:56There is something to eat, something to drink, whatever is to be identified.
03:00But it is not infectious.
03:02There have been 17 deaths. We don't want 18th.
03:06We don't want to let the number 17 go to 18th.
03:09That is why our government has become very serious.
03:12They have picked up those people and put them in a safer zone.
03:15There is nothing to be afraid of with this order that the district administration has issued.
03:21How many people are in a safer zone?
03:22We have 20 people.
03:23All the people who come here, the district administration is ready to look after their welfare and safety.
03:32Yesterday, a patient was shifted from Kandy.
03:35His name is Esas Ahmed. He was 22-25 years old.
03:38He was a young boy.
03:39The day before yesterday, he was in Badaal.
03:41He came to me and shook my hand.
03:43I met him in Badaal.
03:45I met him during the visit to the CM.
03:48In the evening, we have a referral to stop his urinary retention.
03:53When he came to us, he had the same symptoms as before.
03:56He was in Fazal's family.
03:58He was in the same family as Jatti and in the same family as Mohammad Aslam.
04:02He had the same symptoms as Mohammad Esas.
04:06Our doctors were present there.
04:08All the senior doctors were there.
04:09They immediately monitored him and did a CT scan.
04:12Although the CT scan was normal, within half an hour, his consciousness level dropped.
04:17His GCS score went down to 7.
04:20If it goes down to 5 or 6, he dies.
04:23Immediately, our HOD was there.
04:25He was intubated.
04:27The district administration and our local MLA, Mr. Javed Chaudhary,
04:32put in a lot of effort.
04:34Our DIVCOM office put in a lot of effort.
04:36Our Health Minister put in a lot of effort.
04:39People demanded that he be referred to PGI Chandigarh.
04:42Our MLA demanded that he be referred to PGI Chandigarh.
04:46The government fulfilled their demand.
04:50At 1 am, from a helicopter,
04:53we sent a boat to the army station in Jammu.
04:59At 1.15 am, he was airlifted to PGI Chandigarh in an air ambulance.
05:03We are in constant contact with the Dean of Medicine.
05:05I am in constant contact with him.
05:07He is the Emergency SMO.
05:09There is Dr. Randy and Dr. Sanjay Jain.
05:11Dr. Sanjay Jain is the Dean and very senior physician of PGI Chandigarh.
05:14I spoke to him half an hour ago.
05:16Mohammad Azad is stable. His parameters are stable.
