Is Coronavirus a Threat?

If you think those normal sicknesses of the people are normal, you should be conscious enough to avoid the virus itself. The news pop-up in a different approach to the virus that became epidemic, specifically Coronavirus caught up the attention of everyone.

What is coronavirus?

There are some symptoms that we should consider to identify or to avoid if someone qualified with this:

It is a kind of virus that infects the people, typically it leads to upper respiratory infection (URI). There are seven different types of human coronavirus that have been identified (Stoppler, 2019).

Runny nose

Sore throat

Feeling unwell

Cough

Fever

There are different kinds of coronaviruses, the most common are:

229E (alpha coronavirus) - single-stranded, positive-sense, RNA virus species in the genus linked to common cold symptoms in healthy adults. Younger children and elders are considered vulnerable to developing lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs).

NL63 (alpha coronavirus) - species of Alphacoronavirus that was identified in late 2004, associated diseases include mild to moderate upper respiratory tract infections, severe lower respiratory tract infection croup, and bronchiolitis.

OC43 (beta coronavirus) - infections generally caused upper respiratory tract infections, but can be associated with lower respiratory tract infection especially in coinfected other respiratory viruses.

HKU1 (beta coronavirus) - it is from the family of betacoronavirus, identified from a 71-year old who was hospitalized, respiratory distress and radiographically confirmed bilateral pneumonia.

There are other human coronaviruses

MERS-CoV (the beta coronavirus that causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS) - known as camel flu, a viral respiratory infection caused by MERS-coronavirus.

SARS-CoV (the beta coronavirus that causes an acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS) - animal virus from an uncertain animal reservoir, perhaps bats, that spread to other animals (civet cats).

nCoV (Novel Coronavirus) - the family of viruses causing infections in humans and a variety of animals including birds and mammals, it evolves in animals that infect people eventually.

Is it curable?

There is no vaccine for coronavirus but to prevent a coronavirus infection do the same things you do to avoid the common cold:

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water or with an alcohol-based sanitizer

Keep your hands and fingers away from your eyes, nose, and mouth

Avoid close contact with infected people.

Get plenty of rest

Drink fluids

Take over-the-counter medicine for a sore throat and fever. But don't give aspirin to children or teens younger than 19; use ibuprofen or acetaminophen instead.

There are a lot of ways to get the virus without being aware from it, the importance of this reading is to know what are the things that the person should know, what to do when this exist near the area itself. Sharing is caring, it’s essential to everyone wherein people should spread this to his or her love ones or family to be informative enough of the issue.
