Fun fact on this royal virus. Corona means crown in Spanish
Huge hype right now, and people are kind of FREAKING OUT. But we need to CALM DOWN because being in a frenzy will not help anyone. Sure this is what is going around right now, and yes, about 12,027 cases of Coronavirus have been identified worldwide with 259 deaths. BUT, the flu is responsible for 42,001 deaths this season alone, yet how many of you are running around like chicken’s without head to get your flu shot? Don’t all raise your hands at once now.
So let’s get into a few details about this crowned virus, about the symptoms, how it may spread, how to protect yourself, and care for yourself.????
Need to know here, there are many different types of Coronaviruses. Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause many types of respiratory diseases, including Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
BUT, although the current outbreak of Coronavirus is a relative of the one that causes SARS, it is different. This current outbreak is caused by what the CDC calls a novel, aka NEW Coronavirus, which means it was just found.
These viruses are usually transmitted amongst animals like camels, bats, and even cats. And although they often do not infect humans, clearly sometimes they do, and then it spreads among them.
This new Coronavirus has been called COV 19, and it can be tested for in those suspected of having the virus.????
Since it’s a new virus, we don’t know much, but we suspect that it spreads similar to other respiratory infections, including MERS, SARS, and the flu.
Based on this, below are recommendations to prevent the spread and keep yourselves Coronavirus free.????
