A STUDY OF CORONA VIRUS AND CURE
The world is unsettled by the outbreak of corona virus lately. Although supposed to be mild infection in most cases, the present outbreak does not appear to be so. What started in the Wuhan region of China continues to spread across the world. The threat is rising day by day and experts are taking important measures. The virus is already showing its signs in Europe and USA. While China has set a target to build two new hospitals within 10 days to accommodate the increasing number of infected patients, US has started evacuating its employees from Consulates. The virus is posing a global threat to human survival. Under such scenario it is important to have a detailed understanding of the disease and the cure.
This particular virus causes disease in mammals and birds causing diarrhoea among birds and animals while respiratory infections among humans. Typically the virus is non-lethal with symptoms and actions that of common flu. It is hard to distinguish between lethal and non-lethal virus. Among a group of viruses it is particularly some special anomaly which is making it potentially lethal.
Corona virus, which manifests in human body as respiratory tract illness causes pretty generic symptoms. Usual signs of the contamination include runny nose, headache, cough, sore throat and fever. With pretty common and generic symptoms it is hard to distinguish the virus from that of common cold and flu.
However, the problem arise with a few particular types among the group of viruses. Two human corona virus MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV is known to be the powerful among the group of viruses. It is these that are prone to be lethal and bring about fatal consequences with mortal danger.
The virus behind the outbreak in China is recognised by WHO as a new type (2019-nCoV) that is causing all the mayhem. The strain has not been identified in human beings ever before making it potentially unfamiliar in nature. There are a few variances that distinguish this new lethal virus from the common ones.
The usual upper respiratory tract infection is absent in this type of infection. Also in spite of lack of respiratory infection, the patients report severe difficulty in breathing which makes it artificial respiratory aids a-must-have.
Being a completely new type of virus, there are no possible vaccines to have been invented by doctors. Meanwhile proper medical assistance is suggested by health experts to prevent worsening scenario. Doctors are advising the usage of hot shower, complete physical rest and lot of fluids to alleviate the symptoms of the virus.
The problem however remains regarding the nature of the virus. The corona virus is typically airborne and the new 2019-nCoV is no exception. Being airborne, it is almost impossible to prevent the virus from spreading. Nonetheless, proper precautions such as face masks and frequent health-check-ups are recommended to prevent an acute condition.
Ignoring any certain symptoms can be highly dangerous therefore constant vigilance is the key to prevent contamination until doctors come up with definite treatment for this virus.
