The killer Corona-virus: Why is it mysterious, and how is it developing and misleading people?

By the 21st century, the worst corona-virus, a family of viruses capable of infecting humans and animals, could make people just feel sick, but not dangerous. But three times so far in the 21st century, the new coronarys have emerged that they can cause deadly pandemics -- SARSI [an acute respiratory syndrome] in 2003, M The ERS [Med Eastern Respiratory Syndrome] in 2012, and now 2019- We started in Wuhan, China. So far, on January 26th, the new coronary has reportedly infected at least 2463 people and killed at least 80.

Control of the virus's distribution requires both public health and medical measures, and we need a clear clinical profile for that. To this point, that information is just gathering together, but what we have is disturbing.

So far, limited clinical information coming from China means that we know very little from the tiny pneumonia to that life- threatening. Two studies have been launched on January 24th for 41 patients infected and another for the family cluster of pneumonia showing some data and speculation but also for disturbances.

The official story is that the new coronary came out of the meat market in Wuhan, where live animals transmitted pathogenic mutations. Yet, the three cases known from December 1 were not related to the market in question. Also, linked to the meat market were not 11 out of the 41 cases discussed in the recent study. This early data suggests an evolutionary virus that was spread a lot earlier. Undetechable between the plurality of chest infections and various symptoms, she sharpened her ability to spread from man to man. As with the SARS, the new chorus may be changing constantly, gradually becoming stronger.

Coronavirus is a physically large virus in relative terms, with only 125 nanometers with an area of nail projections, too large to survive or float in the air for hours or to travel more than a few inches. Like the flu, this coronary is distributed by direct and indirect contact. Direct contact occurs through the physical transfer of micro-organisms between friends and family through close contact with oral secretions. Indirect contact results when the infected person is swastin or coughing, dissemination of the choreographer's points on nearby surfaces, including smartphone stamps.

As with the SARS, the dots generated during medical procedures such as broncoscope and respiratory treatment can be ventilized, infecting members of the medical staff and enabling super-division. Hand hygiena and personal protein barriers dress, gloves, masks and glasses reduce the likelihood of the score transmission. The period of incubation, however, is unknown but recently estimated to be 1 to 14 days.

To complicate things even more, we don't even know how easily the new coronary is distributed. Can the virus be transmitted before the transmitter has symptoms? [Fruth, one of the most infectious diseases in the world, is infectious from two to four days before the appearance of symptoms.] Can people who never become symptoms spread the disease? Do people get more symptoms less infectious, like SARS, or is it like Ebola, which gets more and more infectious until the disease progresses? These are all questions that remain unanswered.

Like MERCS's SARS, the new coronary causes pneumonia to infection one or both lungs. But this can only be one of the potential syndromes, which is one of the factors that makes it difficult to detect. In fact, it may cause an all - out spectrum of disease, from animtomatics to deadly ones. Even in death, new coronary infections begin similar to less dangerous diseases. Initial symptoms are fever, dry cough, muscle pain, and excessive fatigue. The productive cough [memorial chocolate] and headaches are unfrequent, hemoptis [blood - related school] and early diarrhea. He may receive a week or so before the infected person feels sick enough to seek medical attention.

After this slow false start, the disease continues fast during the second week in a similar manner as SARS. Hippoxemia causes lung injuries that lead to difficult breathing and the need for oxygen therapy. A The RDS [an acute respiratory anxiety syndrome] is a common complication. Between 25 and 32 percent of cases are admitted to the facility for intensive treatment for mechanical ventilation and sometimes ECMO [blood impression through an artificial lung for oxygenization].

Other complications include septic shock, ear injury, and heart injury forced by the virus. Extensive lung damage also provided the lung for a second bacterial pneumonia, which occurs in 10 percent of the accepted people [this may be the case of the 1918 Spanish flu, which killed 50 million people; the fatalities attributed to the viral flu occurred more because of this subsequent bacterial pneumonia. ]

Pneumony from any cause requiring treatment is associated with a high - fat and high - mortality disease. Determined as an infection of both lungs, this was already considered an ancient disease of Hippocrates ' day. In 1881, pneumonia has finally been identified as the main cause of bacterial pneumonia. Over the next century, medical advances and the development of antibiotics made the treatment possible, through intensives that reduced the mortality rate in one-scalm numbers.

On the contrary, because few respiratory viruses can cause mild infections, intensive adult care is done by physicists who have no experience with viral pneumonia. However, infections like SARS, H1N1, and MERCS can lead to serious pneumonia, ARDS, and the failure of the respirators, due to an exaggerated inflammatory reaction. The lack of effective anti-viruses and treatment options means that viral pneumonia has a very high mortality rate.

We don't know how deadly the new coronary is. While one-striking death numbers in early January gave hope, the death rate has already gone to over 3 per cent of those affected. Another unknown is the risk factor that can lead to death infections. Many adults are likely affected by chronic illness. Of these, 15 percent have died, with a very high degree of fatality between older patients and co-mobids like diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. However, most seriously ill patients were healthy, including a 30 - year - old man who eventually died.

Even more difficult than treatment is detection of the virus. In the quarantined Wuhan, dozens of clinics are turning away many patients with temperatures below 37.3 ° C.E. In theory, that seems reasonable.

In practice, it's like a hell of a consideration. Early symptoms of fever and coughing are clinically indistinguishable from the common winter flu. Even pregnancy increases body temperature.

Because 110 thousand people [about 1 per cent of the population] in Wuhan can be feveric at any given moment, clinics, hospitals, and medical personnel are shocked, without laboratory tests, and without protection equipment. And all those with fever hold until lab tests return.

But it worries that many cases have been identified with the virus without a fever. This includes finding coronary in a ten-year-old who had no symptoms. If the coronary can be scattered before the symptoms appear, this would complicate matters to extraordinary proportions.

One important aspect is the lack of child victims. Children with more undeveloped immune systems usually contract disease constantly. The highly serious case was RSV viral pneumonia, resulting in the death of 118 thousand and 200 children dead.

Yet, few children have been exposed to the symptoms of the coronary.

The most powerful measure can be taken is to educate the public for better forms to avoid infections, such as avoiding physical contact with people who may be infected, and to minimize distribution by unidentified infections, wearing masks and washing hands. China is taking these measures, with public health information released from public television to village publishers who usually share political propaganda. These steps can protect anyone. /♪ ERISCOPY by Foreign Policy
