There's no family in Delhi who has got a member suffering from fever cough cold and infections through germs are in the air along with polluted air particles Covid is a respiratory virus and viruses keep changing their shapes as variants because of rapid mutation process Diseases caused by viruses are self limiting and it includes dengue viral fever and there's no medicine for viral illness which are routinely caught Fear psychosis is generated by society through commercialization of Healthcare We can't prevent viral illness having huge population suffering from these illnesses because of huge numbers and congestion Even prevention from getting viral infections seems impossible because of no specific vaccination and also because of rapidly changing shape of viruses Stay hydrated Maintain Hygiene to prevent infection to others Have simple fat free high protein diet like cow's milk and curds ( no forced feeding) Honey is natural antiseptic and moisturizer Stay at home because restful life ensures early recovery Avoid pollution, both indoors and outdoors Have patience and be happy because of no antibiotics are given during 1st 3 days ( blood reports for bacterial infections like typhoid are likely to show after 3 days)

It's not uncommon for COVID-19 to continue evolving, with new variants emerging over time. Variants can sometimes present with different symptoms, or they may affect people in different ways, making it challenging to predict how they might behave. The symptoms mentioned in your post—rash, itching, and other skin issues—are less common in earlier strains of COVID-19, which typically featured respiratory symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing). However, skin manifestations like rashes have been reported with certain variants, though they are relatively rare. MCAS is a condition in which mast cells (a type of white blood cell involved in allergic reactions) release excessive amounts of histamine and other chemicals, leading to various allergic reactions. This can include skin issues like rashes, hives, itching, and even more severe symptoms in some cases. While MCAS isn't typically associated with COVID-19, certain viral infections, including COVID-19, can potentially trigger or worsen allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. It could be that this new variant is interacting with the immune system in such a way that it triggers MCAS or similar symptoms in some people.
