Coronavirus: What is the difference between coronavirus and diarrhea and how does one know if the disease is coronary or common flu?

in #coronavirus5 years ago

Nowadays, it is the flu or nasal cold, which is seen as sneezing or nasal cleansing. He who has a cold tells himself to stay away from me, so you don't get germs.

Or you refrain from going to the affected person your self. This is nothing new, it happens every year, but this time something new is definitely needed.

If you are sitting on a train in London and you start to sneeze or sneeze at someone for a moment, then at first people start to look at you carefully and then slowly move away.

The same is true in other countries. In other words, people are only using gestures when meeting each other. Jokes are being created, videos and memes are being made.

A viral video on the internet shows friends in Iran shaking their feet and legs instead of hands. Tanzania's president did the same.

It's scared of the new virus called the Novel Corona Virus or Cod. 19 says and this fear is gradually being embedded in our minds and thoughts, which sometimes come out in the form of jokes, sometimes in the form of expressions of thought.

My son who never cared about the cold nowadays wanders in the pocket for sanitizer.

What is this fear?

Even though the weather is flu and people from the US to Pakistan suffer from it, people are still talking about the flu, not the Coronavirus.

According to World Health Organization data, about 30 to 5 million people become critically ill every year due to influenza or flu, of which two million to 90,000 to 600,000 are exposed to various respiratory diseases. Suffering from death.

According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), flu deaths have been reported between 18,000 and 46,000 during the flu season from 2019 to 2020.

That means the flu is a very life-threatening disease but we always say about it, rest it will go away in a week or two. The flu takes its time. But Corona? Here's something different.

The risk of Corona

According to the World Health Organization, the world faces an "unknown threat" over the spread of the Coronavirus.

Globally, the death toll for this virus has exceeded 3,000, most of them Chinese. However, new data shows that the virus has increased nine times in countries other than China.

After China, the highest number of confirmed cases of this virus is in South Korea, where the number of confirmed patients has exceeded 5000, but so far only 22 people have been reported from the virus.

On the contrary, the number of affected people in neighboring Iran of Pakistan is around 2500 and the death toll there is 77.

Italy has the highest number of Coronavirus patients in Italy, with more than two thousand and so far 52 people have died from the virus.

There are still 40 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK, but according to a recent government report, up to 20% of the population can be discharged from work on the rise of the coronavirus in the UK and if the virus spreads, the military will also be helped. Can be called for

There are still five confirmed cases in Pakistan and the government is saying that matters are still under its control. Of the five people infected with the Coronavirus in Pakistan, three are from Gilgit-Baltistan and two are reported to be from Karachi.

According to the National Institute of Health Sciences, blood samples of 12 more suspects from Gilgit-Baltistan have also been obtained for the test. On Monday, the Gilgit-Baltistan government closed all private and public educational institutions until March 7 for virus protection and security measures.

Pakistan has also closed Afghanistan's border with Chaman, a border area of ​​Balochistan province.

According to a report published in the US journal JAMA on February 28th, Covd-19 or Corona, 83 to 98 percent of those infected develop a fever, 76 to 82 percent have a cough, and 11 to 44 percent. Fatigue and muscle aches complain.

Flu vs Corona Virus


Dr. Abdul Hafeez, founder member and CEO of the Association of Pakistani Physicians and Surgeons of the United Kingdom (APSUK), a British-based physician organization in the UK, says that we can't compare the flu and corona right now because You know about the flu while nothing about Corona. "There is research now but it is in the early stages. And even when it is tested in an emergency, it will not go through the experimental stages through which the medicine goes. '

He said the virus was not being investigated as fast as it was spreading.

How do you know if a person has the common flu or the coronavirus?

Dr. Hafeez says it is now impossible to detect someone's sneezing or nasal congestion, whether it is a common flu or coronavirus.

He says, “When we take blood samples of patients according to the Universal Precision Principle, we assume that everyone has corona and do the same precautions as stated. It is different that after the test the results came out negative. '

'It is growing, not much is known about it but we must still not be afraid. Although no vaccine has been reported yet, the data also shows that 21% of people killed by it are over the age of 9, while the death of a child under nine has not been confirmed. ۔

"So they are more at risk for those who are already sick or older."

Corona and flu match

Flu and corona diseases are both respiratory diseases. Although they both look similar, both diseases are infected with different types of viruses.

Both have a fever, cough, body aches, fatigue, and occasional nausea or diarrhea.

They can be both for a short time and for a long time as well. In many cases, the death of sick people can also occur.

Both of these diseases can cause pneumonia, which in many cases can be dangerous.

Both move from person to person through the air, ie from an infected person, they can also cause the other person to cough, sneeze or talk very closely.

Dr. Hafiz says the similarities are the most important in mind and require more caution.

'Corona's family is most at risk to her family. Because the virus enters the body through the eyes, nose, and mouth, the most caution should be to those who live near the patient.

'It can also happen from the door handle of a room and from using or holding the same vessel the patient is using. The key to this caution is simply not to get too close to the patient but not to leave him at all. Just be careful. '


Difference between Corona and Flu

According to the research so far, there is only one virus that causes the coronavirus, while there are different types of flu and viruses.

Although both of these viruses seem to drop and touch in the air, recent studies have also shown that the coronavirus can spread from one person to another even when it is not present.

That is, the germs of the affected person survive in the air droplets and when they leave, they can infect another person who is there or arriving.

The flu often causes sore throat, while the coronavirus causes the patient to breathe more heavily.

It should also be borne in mind that scientists have been researching the flu for decades. Although it still causes many deaths worldwide, we know a lot about it, but not so much about the Coronavirus.

It's new, we don't know much about it, we just don't have the right medicines to deal with it and that's why it's more dangerous.
