Corona Virus ( its symptoms and risks )

Hello and welcome back to my another new blog. Here I'm with a another topic to discuss which is most important to discuss now a days.

As we all know we are suffering from global pandemic i.e., Corona Virus (Covid-19). We need to be very aware and careful as well . That's why Today my Blog Is All  about Corona Virus , it's symptoms and risks. So let's start:

 "Corona Virus ( covid-19 )"

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a spreadable as well as infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus that covid-19.

Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.  Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face. 
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette.

What are the symptoms of Covid-19 ?

COVID-19 affects different people in different ways. Most infected people will develop mild to moderate illness and recover without hospitalization.People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:

• • Fever or chills
• • Cough
• • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• • Fatigue
• • Muscle or body aches
• • Headache
• • New loss of taste or smell
• • Sore throat
• • Congestion or runny nose
• • Nausea or vomiting
• • Diarrhea

This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC will continue to update this list as we learn more about COVID-19.

• What are risks of Covid-19 ?

People of any age, even children, can catch COVID-19. But it most commonly affects middle-aged and older adults. The risk of developing dangerous symptoms increases with age, with those who are age 85 and older at the highest risk of serious symptoms. In the U.S., about 80% of deaths from the disease have been in people age 65 and older. Risks are even higher for older people when they have other health conditions.

Take all your medications as prescribed. Consider developing a care plan that includes information about your medical conditions, medications, doctors' names and emergency contacts.

Nursing home residents are at high risk because they often have multiple health problems, combined with advanced age. And germs can spread very easily between people who live in close proximity to each other. If you live in a nursing home, follow the guidelines to prevent infection. Ask about protection measures for residents and visitor restrictions. Let staff know if you feel ill.

Older people are also more likely to have Alzheimer's disease, which can make it more difficult for them to remember the precautions recommended to prevent infection.

Lung problems, including asthma

COVID-19 targets the lungs, so you're more likely to develop severe symptoms if you already have lung problems, such as:

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Lung cancer
• Cystic fibrosis
• Pulmonary fibrosis
• Moderate to severe asthma

So, kindly Follow Government's Guidelines and Obey Every rule and regulations , wear mask 😷 use sanitizer. 

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe ..
