THE DEADLY CORONA VIRUS

                                            

  HOW VIRUSES AFFECT OUR BODY

ABOUT VIRUS

 Viruses are neither living nor non-living, they lie in the intermediate state of life. They cannot be classified as life or non-life, hence they have a special class dedicated to them; VIRUS.

 Viruses cannot be grouped since they can do practically nothing unless they enter a host cell. They completely manipulate the functioning of the cell and turn them into virus-making machines. 

  Currently, there is a CORONAVIRUS pandemic which is claiming  the lives of thousands of people across the globe and is inspiring fear among many. 

It has gripped the attention of the entire world. The reason why coronavirus is so dangerous is that it has an incubation period of 14 days, and people unknowingly spread the virus through physical contact during this period.

WILL ANTIBIOTICS WORK?

 Additionally there is no known cure for the virus, no antibiotics would work since antibiotics are meant to kill only bacteria and the body would be completely unaware of the virus attack until symptoms start showing up. 

Fortunately the mortality rate is a mere 3.8 percent, and your body must gradually build resistance to the virus.

PRECAUTIONS

 Although there is no known cure for the virus, we can take precautions such as 

• Washing hands frequently.
• Avoiding physical contact.
• Maintaining 2-3 feet distance while people sneeze and prevent mingling with people with any symptoms of COVID19.
•  The virus is extremely deadly and it is so efficient in taking complete control over the body.

MYTHS

•  Face masks will do very less, if anything to protect us. 
•  We cannot always conclude a mild fever to any virus infection.
•  Sitting under sun would not kill any Virus.
•  As mentioned Antibiotics will not to do any good for Virus.

If the precautionary measures mentioned are followed and a hygienic life is pursued you will be safe from the not only corona virus but any virus.
