Abstract
Social distance is the most promising technique for containing respiratory disorders such as coronaviruses. However, social separation is impractical in some situations where physical proximity is unavoidable. This research proposes alternative and complementary preventive and suppressive social distancing measures. This study explored the literature, produced critical ideas, and synthesized personal insights to develop realistic respiratory syndrome containment measures. Client-initiated congestion is common in enterprises and institutions that supply critical goods and services, according to experience. When overcrowding is unavoidable, containment methods such as using face masks, practicing proper cleanliness, improving the health of living and working environments, expanding access to critical supplies and services, and boosting social wellness must be implemented. Additionally, using (locally available) antiseptics, avoiding risky behaviors such as aggression, loneliness, smoking, drug abuse, and excessive alcohol consumption, eating greens, getting enough rest, receiving psychological treatment, and forming social ties could all help to reduce the negative effects of respiratory syndromes. Snipping hot liquids, preferably with honey, providing special attention to the elderly and individuals with comorbid diseases, seeing on-time healthcare workers and following their advise, and decreasing stress-inducing lifestyle factors all help to regulate respiratory syndromes. To control the transmission of contagions that cause respiratory syndromes, cost-effective and simple-to-implement measures should be used. Ignoring impoverished and marginalized communities in pandemic cases allows contagions to flourish unchecked, increasing the recurrence and circulation of pathologically important respiratory disorders.
