Viruses have spread globally in a very scary way and Corona is the virus of the century since till today the vaccine is not found, although scientists and professors worldwide are working and trying very hard to detect a cure. What are the symptoms of this virus and how do you know if you are infected or not.
To begin with, we should start by mentioning the symptoms so each one of us can be aware and careful. First, it will infect the throat, so you will have a sore throat lasting for 3 or 4 days. Then the virus blends into a nasal fluid that enters the lungs causing pneumonia. This might take 5 or 6 days more. Third, with pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing. At last, you will notice that the nasal congestion is not like the normal one, you feel you are losing yourself and you need immediate medical attention.
If you have a runny nose and sputum, then you have a common cold. Coronavirus is a dry cough with no runny nose. This virus lives in cold temperature so its not heat-resistant. If someone sneezes with it, it takes a distance of about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and its no longer airborne.But if it drops on a metal surface it will last for at least 12 hours so you have to wash your hands with a bacterial soap. So you have to wash your hands frequently and use sanitized products.Drinking plenty of water is very important and warm water is more effective for all viruses mixed with a little salt.
This virus may not show signs of infection immediately, it may take few days. So how can you know if you are infected or not? By the time you have fever and cough you should go to the hospital. In this case the lung is 50 percent damaged. Some experts discovered a simple self-check that one can do every morning, which is taking a deep breath and hold it for more than 10 seconds, if you completed this test successfully without coughing, stiffness and tightness than you are not infected and your lungs are functioning normally.
Some advises to keep in mind, you should ensure your mouth and throat are never dry, take water sips every half an hour so it will wash them down, without water the virus will find the perfect environment to live and reproduce through entering the windpipe and moving to the lungs. This is very dangerous so just be aware and careful, hoping this hard time will vanish and people will recover.
