ALERT!! Detailed Blog on COVID-19 Must Read............Read Inside for more detailed Information

Hello Friends,After doing some kind of search on this so called Coronavirus or COVID-19....(a famous thing from December 2019) i came across many facts and valuable information which i will be sharing in form of points with everybody.

1. CORONAVIRUS AND COVID-19 are not exactly same
   Coronavirus is nothing but just a biological virus which acts and causes harm to people health as defined in Wikipedia as "a microscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism".So, it means that it acts normally and can be treated through the normal medication.There is a Protein layer around the viruses due to which the virus gets strength to fight our blood cells and this can be considered as a reason, that Why virus is a very strong microorganism.Another fact of virus which comes in mind while talking about viruses that viruses can only be alive inside the body of an organism and not in environment(but many of us heard that if a coronavirus patient touches anything it gets infected i will clear this thing soon).

Coronavirus are known for crown-like spikes on it's surface.There are many sub groupings of coronaviruses i.e Alpha,Beta,Gamma and Delta.

Common Coronaviruses:

  1. 229E(ALPHA)
  2. NL63(ALPHA)
  3. OC43(BETA)
  4. HKU1(BETA)
Other Coronaviruses:
  5.MERS-CoV(Middle East Respiratory Syndrome)
  6.SARS-CoV(Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)
  7.SARS-CoV-2(Novel Coronavirus OR COVID-19)

2.Transmission

So before finding anything about coronavirus it's necassery for you to study about viruses as it will help in deriving some precautions for any type virus as transmission is same in about every type of virus.



Above given is a picture which gives us an idea about transmission mechanism of a virus(any).

So lets study,
Level 1 means Exposure of virus to humans  i.e via mouth,nose,ears and eyes or it can reach human body through a carrier that may be other organism or animals.

Level 2 means Spread of Human Infection that they have ability to enter and clone themselves inside the human cells.And for all viruses it is not necessary that they will lead to clinical symptoms of disease.

Level 3 means the ability to infect humans and spread of virus from one human to other.This kind of ability corresponds to all kinds of transmission.Half of human-infective RNA viruses (73 species in all) are able to transmit between humans. 

Level 4 means the ability of the infection caused by virus to spread so rapidly that it can destroy human populations causing epidemic or becoming itself an endemic human pathogen.

3.Symptoms 
This virus affects people with different people in different ways.Basically COVID-19 is Respiratory disease and most of infected people will feel problems and symptoms in their Respiratory System.People who have bad medical conditions and are above the age of 60 will have a higher risk of severe disease and death.

Common Symptoms:

  • Fever
  • Tiredness
  • Dry Cough
Other Symptoms:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Aches and Pains
  • Sore throat
  • Less people can have Nausea or Runny nose
People who have mild symptoms and are otherwise healthy should isolate themselves and contact their medical support of their area and report them.

While the people who has Fever,Cough or Difficulty in Breathing should call their doctor immediately and contact the medical support provided by their Local Government.

4.Prevention
I have earlier made a detailed blog on prevention based on the guidelines given by WHO .
