Corona virus: source, symptoms, treatment and prevention of cocovine disease-19
The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced the spread of a new strain of the corona virus to "Pandemic" or pandemic after the infection spread rapidly in all regions of the world Data from the Johns Hopkins University of the United States indicate that a new strain of the coronary virus has already spread in 180 countries and territories around the world. More than 874,081 people were infected and killed more than 43,291 people.
What is the new type of corona virus?
The world is aware of the contagious disease. After Chinese authorities confirm on 31 Dec 2019 that an outbreak of a new strain of virus in Wuhan city. Which has a population of over 11 million people After collecting the virus samples from patients for later analysis in the laboratory, China and the World Health Organization stated that this virus is "Corona virus" Previously, there were 6 strains of corona virus that had previously been epidemic in humans. For the new strain of the corona virus that is plagued by the 7th strain. Thais have already known about this family of viruses due to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which is also caused by the corona virus. The first outbreak occurred in late 2002, beginning in the Guangdong province of China. Before spreading to many countries There are more than 8,000 people infected and killed nearly 800 people around the world. World Health Organization Announced the official name for the new disease caused by the corona virus. "Covid-Ninth" (Covid-19) While the International Committee on Virus Taxonomy (International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses) has determined the name of the virus that caused the disease Covid-19 SARS-CoV-2 or the coronavirus type 2 acute respiratory disease (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) due to Closely related to the SARS virus
The origin of the disease
At this time, no one knows the origin of the new strain of the corona virus. Previously, it was assumed that This virus may start transmitting from wildlife to humans. The source of the spread from the Chinese cobra (Chinese cobra) and Chinese snake (Chinese krait) that is distributed in the fresh market in Wuhan. Which is the place where the first group of people are found The research team assumes that Snakes may be an intermediary animal that transmits a new species of coronary virus from bats to humans. Because poisonous snakes that live in nature, hunt bats in the cave for food. But still have doubts that How can the corona virus adapt to live and breed in both cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals? Most recently, scientists speculate that the armadillo, a mammal that is infected by the Chinese, has the properties of the traditional medicine. May be a vehicle to bring a new species of corona virus from bats to spread to people at the Wuhan City Wildlife Market. Scientists noted that An armadillo, which uses its tongue to eat ants and insects on the ground, may be infected by inhaling bats that fall on the ground.
symptom
The World Health Organization says that people infected with the new strain of the corona virus. The first symptom is fever, followed by a dry cough. After about a week there will be difficulty breathing. Severe patients will also have pneumonia. If the condition is very severe it may cause internal organs to fail. While the Department of Disease Control The Ministry of Public Health recommends that people traveling from areas at risk of outbreaks have a fever. Together with one of the respiratory symptoms, such as cough, sore throat, runny nose, wheezing Should seek immediate medical attention
Severity of disease
Currently, researchers estimate that Of the 1,000 new strains of the coronary virus, there are around 5-40 people dead. If you specify a more specific forecast, 9 people in 1,000 people are infected, or almost 1%. While Mr Britain's Health Minister Matt Hancock Stated on March 1, the government's "best assessment" was the death rate at "2% or lower." But it depends on many factors Both in terms of age, gender, general health And the public health system that patients receive
