By now, most of us are aware of the outbreak of the disease started in Wuhan, China, caused
by a new species of virus called Novel Coronavirus. They belong to a member of the Corona
virus family that was first identified in the 1960s.
But the crucial question is, how did the recent outbreak occur? Well, like other Coronaviruses,
it has come from animals too and is a form of zoonotic disease. Many of those infected patients
either worked or frequently shopped in the Huanan seafood wholesale market in the centre of
the Chinese city, which sells meat and live animals. It is believed that the virus might have been
transmitted through direct contact between human and animals either by touching those
animals or consuming them, and it can also spread via the air like other cold-causing viruses .
But what we know so far is its symptoms and how it effects humans. Yes, a person infected
from this disease may suffer from dry cough, mild fever, and breathing issues, which may go
unnoticed at first.
Also, it is believed that these viruses are more likely to infect older people and those with a
weak immune system that find it hard to fight these notorious viruses. But, is there any way to
treat this disease?
Now, here comes the most crucial question, what can we do to stop this outbreak ?
Also, it would be best if you wash your hands with warm and soapy water regularly, especially,
after being in direct contact with an infected person.
A. Well, unfortunately, all this is very new illness, no treatment for it is available
so far, and because it is a virus, antibiotics won’t work against it.
B. They are responsible for causing a range of diseases in humans, including the common cold
and more severe and life-threating forms like SARS and MERS.
C. But, as the virus spreads its legs inside the person’s body, the patient might develop a severe
case of viral pneumonia, an infection that inflames the air sacs in the lungs and can cause them
to fill with fluid or pus and need immediate medical attention.
D. The virus is named after its shape, which takes the form of a crown with protrusions around
it and hence is known as Coronavirus
E. However, unfortunately the actual source of this disease isn’t confirmed yet, and scientists
are still trying to figure it out.
F. Well, it is always advisable to practice good hygiene and caution by avoiding close contact
with individuals suffering from acute respiratory infections, or wild animals or livestock, dead or
alive.
