How CoronaVirus really affects your body.

Hey there! How are you doing? In today's blog, I'll be telling you guys how CoronaVirus affects the human body. I'm not a specialist in this field, all this report is based on my internet research. As the CoronaVirus from Wuhan, China continues to spread around the globe, more and more people are getting affected, unfortunately, many people are dying too. As of writing this blog, a total of 361 people have died worldwide with over 17,238 being infected. So, what happens when the CoronaVirus comes in contact with your body?

The term "coronavirus" comes from the Latin word corona, which means crown or halo. It refers to the fringe around microscopic virus particles that have a spiky edge resembling a royal crown. They are commonly found in animals, but there are seven coronaviruses that are zoonotic, meaning they can jump from animals to humans.  Usually, symptoms are mild, like a common cold — coughs, runny noses, sore throats, headaches, fever, and general lethargy. But sometimes a novel virus, which humans have no defenses against, can pose a lethal threat. 

The coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China, over the past few weeks, continues to spread to more than a dozen countries, it’s crucial to understand what it does to the human body. 

It’s also important to know who within the population is at the greatest risk. As with all viruses, it is the most vulnerable: the young, the elderly, and the chronically ill.

In fact, many of the patients who have died in Wuhan, China, had existing conditions including cirrhosis of the liver, hypertension, and diabetes, according to the Chinese government health commission. At the moment, there is no cure for coronavirus because it is so new. It may take many months to develop a vaccine, an effort already underway by global organizations, private companies, and governments.

Here are a few precautions which you can take to avoid being infected with CoronaVirus:

1. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

2. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

4. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Stay home when you are sick.

5. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

6.Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.

May God keep all of us safe from CoronaVirus.
