Corona virus is a virus that still related to the cause of SARS and MERS is exactly the crown. The shape of the crown is characterized by protein S in the form of shoes that are spread around the surface of the virus.
Corona viruses have one RNA chain so they are often called RNA viruses. This type of virus mutates faster than DNA by a million times.
Corona Paramyxovirus virus had appeared in the Google search engine. Both are different viruses, although both can infect humans from animals. Diseases caused by Paramyxovirus are Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Newcastle disease, and parainfluenza.
There are cases of Corona virus infection that show symptoms and some don't. For reported cases of Coronavirus the symptoms are:
a. Fever
b. Cough
c. Shortness of breath
According to the CDC, symptoms of the Corona virus may have been seen from 2-14 days. This estimate is based on the Corona virus incubation period in the MERS case. But unlike in the case of MERS, the 2019-nCoV infection can spread from patients who have no symptoms but have had close communication with other people.
Until now, research is still being done regarding the Corona 2019-nCoV virus and the best treatment for victims. known to date, Coronavirus is a large family of viruses that are found in some animals such as camels, cats and livestock. In some cases, the Corona virus infects humans and spreads as in the case of MERS, SARS and 2019-nCoV.
Quoted from The Guardian, victims who died of Coronavirus are generally old and have had health problems before. They have a weak immune system so they are easily infected with the Corona 2019-nCoV virus. But the Chinese government has five cases of death from the Corona virus that are less than 60 years old, namely 36, 50, 53, 55, and 58 years.
Therefore, it is very important to make preventive efforts to protect themselves and virus infections. Preventive efforts must be carried out from various ages, despite having good endurance.
Corona virus prevention efforts are increasingly important because until now the vaccine has not been found. Prevention of dealing with Corona virus must be done every day of all ages. The following efforts to prevent Corona virus are quoted from the CDC:
a. Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or a hand washing that contains at least 60 percent alcohol
b. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
c. Avoid close contact with sick people
d. Stay at home if you are sick
