Get the fact on corona-virus by Dr Peter-kin

So we'd like to urge the facts straight. How does this virus work, however, will it transmit, wherever will it wish to travel, and let's defend ourselves? 

The coronavirus could be a family of viruses which will cause as gentle things as just a typical cold, all the far to SARS or MERS. These are this dangerous pneumonia that we're talking concerning. And basically what these viruses are, they
look like a ball with all these spikes protruding of it. And relying on the kind of spike, it permits that virus to connect to sure places. So some viruses, they need this spike that attaches to your nose. therefore primarily you simply get a typical cold. But the severe acute respiratory syndrome virus and this new virus that we're talking concerning have the spike that permits it to connect to the cells in you're respiratory organ and once it attaches there, it puts in info to form photocopies of itself. therefore it uses our instrumentation to make additional viruses. I am declaring a public health emergency of international concern over the world eruption of the novel coronavirus. Most of the coronaviruses board animals. during this specific case, it was from the city. There was a fish market wherever they were commerce live animals and the thought is that the virus was in an exceedingly live animal, then it crossed into a personality's. But then what we tend to found was that folks were getting sick in terms of health care workers, in terms of relations that were taking care of them, that currently meant that the virus will pass from human to another human. a bit like all viruses, it needs to achieve a target, that is your lung and it's to urge there with your help. it's no feet and no wings. So, therefore, it desires America to manoeuvre it there. So that is why we tend to keep speech do not suspend around ill individuals as a result of you're gonna breathe it in. and do not bit your face as a result of that is, however, the virus is going to urge in. The masks are useful, but they're not necessary as a result of they're leaky. those that you simply and that I obtain basically have pockets here, therefore the virus will get in. What the masks really do is that they stop America from touching our face. If you are sick, we tend to ask you, therefore thus you are not spewing out the viruses to people sitting around you. truth folks that have the real masks ar the N95. Those are sealed. These are for the doctors that will be caring for the patients. So in the beginning, the coronavirus can cause the kind of like flu-like symptoms or a chilly. therefore individuals simply get the stuffy nose, that kind of issue. however, you will perceive that as before long as that virus starts manufacturing in your respiratory organ cells, they're producing of these copies of the virus. All of an abrupt currently you kill the respiratory organ cells, therefore currently you cannot exchange oxygen and that is why one among the first symptoms is individuals get terribly in the need of breath and they tend to own a troublesome time respiratory and that is why they find yourself in hospital. therefore presently sadly we tend to don't have a right away treatment for coronavirus, therefore we do not have a medication which will kill it off. And so it's very corroborative. therefore in different words, the patient cannot breathe, we tend to offer them oxygen facilitate them to breathe, they can't drink, therefore thus we tend to offer them fluids to support them. Their kidneys begin to shut down, we tend to facilitate them with all those things. therefore it is a terribly corroborative method. this can be a brand new virus that we've never seen before, therefore our system, our army, ar having a tough time calculation out what to try to to. therefore sometimes what we've got to try to are we tend to create one thing known as antibodies. So there are things which will grab on to the spikes that we tend to see on the virus and it'll get eliminate the virus for you and that will really bring you back to good health. therefore thus the old might have a worse outcome and in fact, the young children, the babies, their immune system isn't therefore smart either, so that they might not create those antibodies still. So just bear in mind your hands could also be with the virus.

 The virus cannot hurt you as a result of it can't get through the skin, but the moment I try this, currently I've brought the virus right to wherever it desires to travel. So let's bear in mind to not bit our hands to our face. therefore for example you think that that you simply might have been on a plane otherwise you might have run into someone that has it, what must you do? that the very first thing is to contact a health care employee to inform them that doubtless, you've got it. If you're feeling symptoms and you are going to go into a facility, call ahead. So whether you are job the paramedics or whether you are job the hospital or your doctor, simply mention that you simply were on a flight. If you do not have any symptoms, then what we tend to do could be a little of a self-quarantine. In different words, we can simply keep you faraway from people and so you do not get into parties, don't together with your friends, do not enter public transportation. therefore we are able to contain it terribly simply by ensuring that you simply do a self-confinement, therefore, to talk for the for example seven to fourteen days is that the longest incubation time, therefore at the moment if you're feeling well, then you do not have anything to stress concerning. If we tend to get the facts right, then we do not have to be too upset, however, we tend to do the right things so we do not get the virus ourselves, which we don't pass it on to others. And if we look after one another during this method, this virus can have obscurity to travel. It desires America to manoeuvre it, it desires America to make copies for it, and if we do not facilitate it, then the virus can stop. therefore we tend to have the power to try to that, right now.
