Coronavirus: Laxman, What is the way to treat and protect, how severe, where did it come from, spread from an animal, why in China?
The coronavirus, whose eponymous name is Covid-1, has now been declared a World Epidemic by the World Health Organization.
The virus - which was previously unknown to scie
ntists - has caused serious lung disease in many people in China and has already spread to many countries around the world.
What is the virus?
Coronavirus is an infectious virus that has never spread to humans before.
The virus has already spread to more than 4 countries worldwide, killing more than 3,000 people worldwide.
Another name for the virus is 25 - NCOV or novel coronavirus. It is a type of coronavirus. There are many types of coronavirus, but only six of them can be infected in human body. But due to the new type of virus, the number will be seven from now.
The virus, which spreads epidemic in China since 2001 (is called Acute Respiratory Syndrome), which killed 3 people and infected the world, infected the world. It was also a type of coronavirus.
The new disease was initially called by various names, such as: "China virus", "coronavirus", "20nacv", "new virus", "mystery virus".
In the second week of February this year, the World Health Organization officially named the disease Covid-1, a short form of 'coronavirus disease-20'.
What are the symptoms of the disease:
In addition to respiratory symptoms, fever, cough and shortness of breath are the main symptoms.
It attacks the lungs.
Symptoms usually begin with dry cough and fever, followed by breathing problems.
On average, it takes five days for the symptoms to manifest.
The World Health Organization says the incubation period of the virus lasts up to 3 days. However, some researchers say it can last up to 25 days.
When the symptoms of the virus appear in humans, they are more likely to be infected. However, it is also believed that humans can transmit the virus to healthy people even when they are not sick.
It is natural to be hesitant at diagnosis because the onset symptoms are similar to those with common cold and flu.
The outbreak of coronavirus has reminded many of the SARS virus that led to the deaths of seven people, primarily in many Asian countries, at the beginning of the 20th.
Genetic code analysis of the new virus has shown that it is very similar to the serous virus.
"When we see a new coronavirus, we want to know how serious its symptoms are. The virus is a lot like the flu but not as deadly than the SARS virus," said Professor Mark Woolhouse of the University of Edinburgh.
Where did the coronavirus come from?
Many times a new virus comes from an animal and begins to infect the human body.
The World Health Organization believes that the source of the recent virus is an animal.
As far as it is known, the tragedy of the people has happened in a market where wholesale fish is sold in Wuhan, China.
The coronavirus virus is in the family, but six of these viruses have been known before, but the infection is now new to humans.
Most coronaviruses are not endangered, but the previously unknown new virus is suspected to cause viral pneumonia to pandemic, and eventually the disease has spread worldwide, the World Health Organization has declared.
Law ksanagulo How serious?
The infection begins with a fever, followed by a dry cough. About a week later the breathing began. Many patients have to be admitted to the hospital for treatment.
So far the death rate for this disease is low (between 1% and 2%) - but these figures are not entirely reliable.
In some regions of Europe, higher mortality rates are now showing.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has come up with a survey conducted on 3,000 infected patients:
- 5% of these diseases are critically ill - they are prone to lung failure, septic shock, organ dysfunction and death.
- Severity can be seen in up to 5% of acute symptoms. Their problem is mainly in breathing.
- Up to 5% of mild symptoms can be seen - in addition to fever and cough, some may experience pneumonia.
Older people and those with some kind of illness (asthma, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure) are more likely to become critically ill.
Based on data from China, it is known that men are slightly more likely to die than women.
The purpose of physicians is to make sure that the affected person is breathing and that their immune system can deal with the virus.

How can the virus be prevented?
Recently, the United States conducted a human experiment with a vaccine they discovered.
The ingredient of this vaccine is a genetic code for the Covid-nineteen virus - which is derived from the original virus. This copy is not dangerous, nor can it be transmitted to the human body.
Experts say the vaccine, or some of the more vaccines that are now in the research phase - will take months to find out if it works.
Scientists all over the world are trying to speed up the research work
The only way to prevent this disease so far is to not allow the virus to spread to others.
Which means:
Limiting the movement of human beings.
To encourage everyone to wash their hands.
Health workers provide protective clothing to patients separately
Detectives or surveillance systems are also needed to determine if patients have the virus, and to identify those who have contacted the patients.
