CORONAVIRUS 🦠

 English Class

Hello everyone welcome back to my blog.

How are you today?

Have a nice day and keep your healthy!

For this week English lessons I want to explain about "Corona virus"

Let's see at this material carefully.

Corona virus infection is called COVID-19 ( Corona Virus Disease 2019 ) and was first discovered in the city of Wuhan, China at the end of December 2019. This virus is spreading very quickly and has spread to almost all countries, including Indonesia, in just a few months.

This has led several countries to implement policies to impose lockdowns in order to prevent the spread of the Corona virus. In Indonesia itself, a Large-Scale Social Restriction (PSBB) policy was implemented to suppress the spread of this virus.

Coronavirus is a collection of viruses that can infect the respiratory system. In many cases, this virus only causes mild respiratory infections, such as flu . However, this virus can also cause severe respiratory infections, such as lung infections (pneumonia).

This virus is transmitted through sputum droplets from the respiratory tract, for example when in a crowded closed room with poor air circulation or direct contact with droplets.

Apart from the SARS-CoV-2 virus or Corona virus,  viruses that are also included in this group are the viruses that cause  Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome  ( SARS ) and the viruses that cause  Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome  ( MERS ). Even though it is caused by a virus from the same group, namely the coronavirus, COVID-19 has several  differences from SARS and MERS , including in terms of the speed of spread and the severity of symptoms.

Death Rate Due to Corona Virus (COVID-19)

The Corona virus that causes COVID-19 can attack anyone. According to data released by the Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19 of the Republic of Indonesia, the number of confirmed positive cases as of October 30, 2020 is 404,048 people with a death toll of 13,701 people. The case fatality rate due to COVID-19 is around 3.4%.

When viewed from the percentage of mortality rates divided by age group, the age group over 60 years has a higher percentage of mortality than other age groups.

Meanwhile, based on gender, 58.5% of sufferers who died due to COVID-19 were male and the remaining 41.5% were women.

Symptoms of the Corona Virus (COVID-19)

Early symptoms of Corona virus infection or COVID-19 can resemble flu symptoms, namely fever, runny nose, dry cough,  sore throat , and headache. After that, the symptoms may disappear and heal or even get worse. Patients with severe symptoms can experience high fever, cough with phlegm and even bleeding, shortness of breath, and chest pain. These symptoms appear when the body reacts against the Corona virus .

In general, there are 3 general symptoms that can indicate someone is infected with the Corona virus, namely:

• Fever  (body temperature above 38 degrees Celsius)
• Dry cough
• Hard to breathe

There are several other symptoms that can also appear in Corona virus infection, although they are less common, namely:

• Diarrhea
• Headache
• Conjunctivitis
• Loss of ability to taste or smell

How To Prevent and Avoid Corona Virus

1. Wear a mask
2. Wash hands
3. Cover mouth when sneezing and coughing
4. Social distancing
5. Get enough rest and eat nutritiously #stayathome
