Coronavirus


Let’s make corona virus explanation interesting and understandable

What this virus actually is?
This prevalent virus “COVID-19” is abbreviated from coronavirus disease-19  as it appeared in China in late 2019. This is a single-stranded RNA virus having an envelope around it and also some projections around it which are club shaped. This can cause illness in humans or animals.


How this virus spreads?
This can be transmitted from person to person and is also zoonotic disease which means that one can acquire it from animals too.

Let us suppose that someone coughed in front of you without using handkerchief or mask and that tiny droplets lands on your cloth or maybe any other object,  you unknowingly touched that area where it landed followed by using those unwashed hands to have food. This is how your body gets invaded by this micro-virus indirectly and unfortunately your body acts as a workshop for the virus where it starts doing its job of proliferation taking your life as its emolument. Isn’t it scary?  So beware Homo sapiens!! 



How it invades your body?
This spoiled brat is extremely particular about the location where it wants to show its power of infecting and thus can be called as “fastidious”. It is shown to grow only in respiratory epithelial cells. Inflammation and causing cell damage is its major concern. It enters the host cell, binds itself with spiky structures there eventually causing its fusion with the cell membrane. Its love with lung’s epithelial cells happens at prima facie and hugs this membrane of cells in such a way that it becomes difficult for our body to ignore its proposal consequently letting him to replicate enormously. Love hurts!!! Am I right?


What are the symptoms shown by COVID-19 infected individual?
Fever, cough and shortness in breath are the major symptoms shown by masses infected with this. These symptoms are supposed to appear within 2-14 days (depends on person’s immunity). The more your body will go on falling for him, the more it will go on replicating thus causing severe illness but if your body cells are intelligent and strong enough then it will end up showing mild symptoms and can be cured easily using proper medications.


What should one do  to boost the immunity against COVID-19?
  1. It is true that only one particular food will not help to improve functioning of immune system but a proper sense to stick to a diet providing you with all the essential nutition is necessary. Diabetic patients are more likely to be exposed to this virus which clears one thing that low carb diet can prove effective in treating this.
  2. Mine and yours favourite "sleep" also helps ; so one should prioritize the sleep hygiene. Happy sleep hours folks!!!!
  3. Its time to give views to some good exercise channels on you tube as exercise is also benificial to make your immune system feel strong similar to one of your loved ones makes you feel when you are in trouble.
  4. Befool your brain by remaining gleeful all the time and making your brain forget that there even exists a term called “stress’’. If you are a chronic stress taker then it will negatively effect your immunity. Just think of you enjoying holidays with your family, playing cards,chess and ludo .So let it be. Try living and cherishing the present as worrying for future can make things worse.
  5. Heavy drinker's immune system and coronavirus share a good bond with each other. If you can understand what I meant here!!!!
  6. Vitamin-C and vitamin-D in diet can also help
  7. Turmeric and garlic in food is so common In Indian’s food which is one of the excellent ways to enhance immune function.

          All in all, have everything in limits as we all know that excess of everything is bad
Some more useful information:-

1. Antibiotics act only against bacteria not viruses. So avoid being a self-proclaimed  doctor.

2. People of all ages can be infected by novel coronavirus but people with some pre-existing medical conditions, old and children are more vulnerable. This clarifies that atleast coronavirus is unorthodox!!!

3. Coronavirus carries a prestige of its own, so it wants its own vaccine which is not yet found


4. Mosquito bites can not transfer this virus in our body so feel free and let them bite you.

5. Cold and hot temperatures have not that much to do  with its viability because we are warm blooded animals. Optimum temperature inside our body remains virtually 37 degree celsius all the time. So, once it gets inside, it will invade our system.

6. Let me acknowledge this that coronavirus can infect a person multiple number of times like common cold. In simple words it means that a relative who you donot want to come back ever to your house but the probability of him coming again is very high.
