Information from a researcher who fights the coronavirus epidemic:
Here we share clear, simple and accessible information that describes exactly what the Covid-19 virus (coronavirus) is, how it is spread from person to person and how it can be neutralized in the life of every day.
Virus infection does not cause a cold with a nose flow or a fat cough, but a dry cough is the easiest thing to recognize.
The virus does not resist heat and dies if exposed to 26-27 degrees temperatures, so you often have to consume hot drinks such as tea, herbal tea or soup during the day, or simply hot water: hot liquids neutralize the virus, so avoid drinking ice water.
And for those who can do it, expose yourself to the sun!
1. The size of the virus is quite large (diameter of about 400-500 nanometers), so any type of mask can stop it: in normal life, special masks are not necessary, simple masks are enough.
On the other hand, the situation is different for doctors and health professionals who are exposed to high viral loads and must use special equipment.
2. When the virus is on metal surfaces, it survives for about 12 hours. So when you touch metal surfaces such as door handles, household appliances, tram bars, etc., wash your hands well and wash them carefully.
3. The virus can live nestled in clothes and fabrics for about 6/12 hours: normal detergent can kill it. For clothes that can't be washed everyday, you can expose them to the sun prolonged, the Covid 19 won't resist.
How the Covid 19 manifests itself:
1. The virus starts first in the throat, causing inflammation and a dry throat feeling: this symptoms can last 3/4 days.
2. the virus then travels through the humidity present in the lungs, goes down to the trachea, then settled into the lungs, causing pneumonia. This stage lasts about 5/6 days.
3. pneumonia occurs with high fever and breathing difficulties, but it is not accompanied by classic,. If you feel like choking, contact your doctor immediately.
How can you avoid it?
1. The transmission of the virus is mainly through direct contact, touching tissues or materials on which the virus is present: it is essential to wash your hands frequently.
The virus only survives on your hands for about ten minutes, but in ten minutes a lot can happen: rubbing your eyes or scratching your nose for example, and so let the virus enter your throat...
So, for your own good and for that of others, wash your hands very often and cleanse them!
2. You can use a disinfecting solution that removes or minimize the amount of virus that could enter your throat, so you eliminate it before it goes down to the trachea and then into the lungs.
3. disinfect the keyboard of computers and mobile phones.
In addition, the may not show signs of infection for many days, during which it is not possible to know if a person is infected or not.
But when you have fever and / or cough, your lungs are usually taken at 50 %.
So experts suggest doing a simple check that can be done every morning:
Take a deep breath and hold your breath for more than 10 seconds. If you can do it without coughing, no feeling of oppression, etc., it shows that there is no fibrosis in the lungs, which basically shows the absence of infection.
In such critical moments, do this check every morning in a clean air environment.
These are simple information and advice from doctors that deal with the-19. cases.
Another simple tip, we need to make sure to keep your throat wet, at least as dry as possible. Drink a few sip of water at least every 15 to 20 minutes.
WHY? Even if the virus goes into your mouth... water or other liquids will take it through the esophagus and stomach.
Once in the stomach, stomach acid will kill the virus. If you don't drink enough water regularly, the virus will be able to penetrate your lungs more easily.
