The Spread Of The Corona Virus Spreads Very Quickly (Farah Dina)

Topic: covid-19

Tittle: the spread of the corona virus spreads very quickly

Ts: the reason the corona virus spreads so fast

Body idea 1: corona virus 10 times stronger than SARS

Body idea 2: The lungs are not the only vital organs that are disturbed

Body idea 3: unpredictable.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is another name for the corona virus that can affect anyone such as parents, children, babies. Corona virus or COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) was first discovered in Wuhan, China at the end of December 2019. The spread of this virus is very fast in various parts of the world, therefore many countries in the world that apply lockdown. Basically this virus only causes mild respiratory infections both respiratory, such as flu. But apart from that this virus can also cause severe respiratory infections, such as lung infections (pneumonia).

Corona virus can be transmitted through in several ways. First, from animals to humans. Secondly, transmission occurs through droplets, or fluids that come out of the respiratory system through close contact. In addition there is also the possibility of airborne transmission.

According to Dr. Darmawan Budi Setyanto SpA (K), the representative of the IDAI Children's Respirology Coordination Work Unit explained that the corona virus is a virus that infects the human respiratory system and can be transmitted from one person to another. In addition, a number of genetic and structural analyzes have identified why COVID-19 is so easy to infect human cells. Here are some explanations according to experts:

First, the virus is 10 times stronger than the SARS virus. The McLellan group in Texas has identified why the corona virus infects human cells so quickly. Experiments have proven that protein surges are bound to receptors in human cells, known as angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), these bound proteins are ten times stronger than the proteins in the SARS virus. To handle this, Veesler's team showed receptors to prevent it from spreading with vaccines or therapy.

Second, the lungs are not the only vital organs that are disturbed

Dr. Compton-Phillips said the corona virus can spread through the mucous membranes, nose, down to the rectum (rectum). So, when the corona virus can not be detected in the lungs, in fact it is possible that this virus has spread and infect cells or other vital organs. This is why, sometimes there are some patients whose corona virus infection shows symptoms of diarrhea and indigestion. Meanwhile, Dr. Schaffner said that this corona virus can enter the bloodstream. This has been found in several infected cases that have been studied. When someone is infected with this virus, the body's immune system will focus on fighting the existing virus. At the same time, the virus has caused damage to the organs it attaches.

Third, it cannot be predicted. Some researchers revealed that the corona virus cannot be predicted as to the role of the activation site or site that drives the spread of the corona virus more easily and quickly.

To prevent the spread of the Corona virus from becoming more widespread, WHO recommends washing hands with soap and running water using soap or hand sanitizers to keep a distance from others at least one meter. If possible, it is better to do social distance with activities at home.
