What is the Corona virus? Symptoms? How can it be transmitted or spread?
Coronavirus is an infectious disease caused by a recently identified virus. Some of the common symptoms are; coughing, sneezing, runny nose, tiredness, and in severe cases: difficulty breathing. The Corona virus can be transmitted or spread through contact with an infected person when they sneeze or cough, it can also be transmitted if a person touches a surface that has a virus and after touching their nose, eyes or mouth. The virus is new to humans, so scientists don't know much about it. Early research suggests that the virus closely resembles a corona virus housed in a horseshoe bat; It is believed to have passed from animals to humans, but nothing has yet been confirmed.
Pandemic? Anatomy? Anatomy of Corona virus? How are viruses named and what does "COVID-19" stands for?
These days we have been fighting against the corona virus, which is a pandemic. Pandemic means "prevalent in a whole country or in the world"; This means that because the corona virus is a pandemic, now is around the world and its causing a lot of deaths. As we know, "anatomy" has a bunch of meanings, but it undoubtedly means "a branch of morphology that deals with the structure of the organism." So if we are talking about anatomy we are also talking about the structure. The structure or anatomy of the corona virus cell is formed by layers, on the outside we can see that it has purple dots, these are called "hemagglutinin esterase (HE)", the second layer is called "membrane protein (M)", inside of the corona virus cell, there are lines and they are called RNA, and inside the lines there are other lines that are red and they are called Envelope (E). Viruses are classified and named according to morphology, chemical composition, and mode of replication. Just as COVID-19, "CO" means corona; "VI"; means virus; and "D" for disease.
Personal Thoughts by Facing The Corona virus
Now I am going to talk about my own experience facing this new pandemic, honestly I am afraid because this pandemic, this disease, is a new virus in humans and unfortunately there is no cure so the people who contracted it are dying, I am afraid that some of my friends, relatives they contract it.
This new virus impacted my life in the way that I can't go to school, I can't go out. Now, if we talk about how it impacts the lives of my friends, they had to cancel their plans to be safe and not get the virus.
In addition, if we talk about how it affected the entire world, I would say that it had an impact on the way that schools are closed to prevent students and teachers from having contact, since in this way the virus can be transmitted. Also, it impact the companies that make the hand sanitizer , toilet paper, bottled water, among others.
Also, it affected that some companies closed and employees now have no job. Also, the virus affected us in that it forced us to quarantine.
How Can We Prevent From Getting The Virus?
-Wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds after: sneezing, coughing, or blowing your nose.
-Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
-Stay at your home if you are sick (to avoid spreading the disease)
