According to the World Health Organization, a chronic lung disease virus that originated in China has now spread to more than 100 mammals. The Coronavirus has infected more than one million people in the world so far and killed more than 3600.
The virus has also spread to Pakistan and its neighbors. So far 18 patients have been confirmed in Pakistan.
What are the symptoms?
It apparently starts with a fever followed by a dry cough.
After a week there is difficulty breathing. Some patients have to go to the hospital.
It should be noted that the symptoms of nasal congestion and sneezing are very rare in this infection.
According to the World Health Organization, the duration of the infection from exposure to symptoms is 14 days.
But some researchers say it can be up to 24 days.
Some Chinese scientists believe that some people can cause infection even before symptoms appear.
How Deadly Is the Corona Virus?
World Health Organization WHO says after reviewing data from 44,000 patients infected with the virus
81% of people had mild symptoms
Severe symptoms appeared in 14%
Five percent of people became seriously ill
The mortality rate for this disease, named Cod 19, was one to two percent, but the numbers cannot be trusted.
Thousands of people are still undergoing treatment and the mortality rate may increase. But it is also unclear how many cases of mild symptoms are not reported, in which case the mortality may be even lower.
One billion people suffer from influenza every year, and between 200,000 and 600,000 people are killed. The severity of the flu changes every year.
Is Corona Virus Curable?
It is currently being treated in basic ways, keeping the patient's body active, assisting with breathing, as long as his immune system can fight the virus.
However, vaccine preparations are underway and it is expected that by the end of this year, the drug will be tested on humans.
The hospitals have begun using pre-existing drugs against the virus to see if they have any effect.
How can we protect ourselves?
World Health Organization says:
Wash your hands with soap or gel that can kill the virus.
Cover your mouth with coughing or sneezing, it is best to wash your hands from the tissue, and immediately afterward, so that the virus does not spread.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth after touching any surface. Being infected with a virus can enter your body.
Don't go near people who are coughing, sneezing or having a fever. Virus drops from their mouths can flow into the atmosphere. Keep at least one meter, or three feet, from such persons.
If nature feels bad, stay home. If you have a fever, cough or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical help. Follow the instructions of the medical authorities.
How fast is it spreading?
Thousands of new cases are being reported every day. However, analysts say that in fact, it may be spreading far beyond that, at least 10 times as much as is reported in official statistics.
It has spread to South Korea, Italy, Iran so far, after which it is feared that it will become a global epidemic. Any infection is called a global epidemic when it spreads to different parts of the world.
The World Health Organization says they are concerned about the number of special cases that are indirectly related to China. “The chances of the virus being present are increasing,” says the company. '
With winter colds and the flu spreading more rapidly, climate change will likely help prevent this outbreak.
However, a virus similar to the Coronavirus 'Middle East Respiratory Syndrome' spreads to Saudi Arabia over the summer. Therefore, there is no guarantee that summer will prevent the outbreak.
How did it all start?
The virus itself is not 'new'. It's just new to humans. It has come from one creature to another.
Many early cases were linked to a market in Wuhan in China where animal meat was found.
In China, many people are very close to animals that can transmit the virus. And densely populated cities mean that these diseases can spread easily.
The disease, called cirrhosis, also started with the Coronavirus. It started with bats and ended up being humans through Sweat Kate.
The SARS epidemic killed 774 people in China in 2002, and more than eight thousand were affected.
This is the seventh variant of the recent virus Coronavirus and no changes have been observed so far. But when the situation is resolved, scientists will take a closer look at it.
covid virus is very small that can destroy the great power that is proud of the leader of the country ... what is said by the president of china There is no power that can defeat us in this world but it has been proven only as small as the virus the creator sent his army they could not finish.
