Covid-19 Pushes To The End Of Your Life

         A small virus called covid-19 has shocked the whole world because it can spread and fight humans quickly but only with the flu virus, but who would have thought this small virus could easily spread and kill you only through liquid alone. When this virus attacks humans it attacks the respiratory tract, causing infections ranging from the flu to serious illnesses such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). 

         Like other respiratory ailments, COVID-19 can cause mild symptoms including colds, sore throats, coughs, and fevers. About 80% of cases can recover without the need for special treatment. About 1 in every 6 people may suffer from severe illness, such as pneumonia or difficulty breathing, which usually occurs gradually. Although the mortality rate of this disease is still low (around 3%), for older people, and people with pre-existing medical conditions (such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease), they are usually more prone to becoming ill severe. Looking at developments to date, more than 50% of confirmed cases have been declared to be improving, and the cure rate will continue to increase. Although the number of patients who were cured increased, it does not mean that patients who tested positive for covid-19 did not increase either. Therefore it remains important for us to continue to always be vigilant and keep our distance.

          However, some people are infected but do not show any symptoms and do not feel unwell. Mosr people (around 80%) recover from the disease without the need for special treatment. About 1 out of every 6 people who get Covid-+9 is seriously ill and has dificulty breathing.

          The number of positive cases of the Corona alias Covid-19 virus in Indonesia continues to grow. Data Monday, June 29 At 12.00 West Indonesia Time, there were 1,082 new positive cases. So that the total positive cases of Covid-19 to date reach 55,092 cases. While for patients recovering from Covid-19 today there were 864 people. The total number of patients who had successfully resisted Covid-19 was 23,800. As for the death rate, today there are 51 people. The total number of deaths was 2,805.

          According to the World Health Organization (WHO), COVID-19 is transmitted through people who have been infected with the corona virus. The disease can spread through small droplets from the nose or mouth when someone infected with this virus sneezes or coughs, then it can be concluded this virus can spread through fluids. However, the CDC states there is evidence to suggest that the corona virus can last for hours on the surface of objects, including clothing. So, when we are forced to go out then it is highly recommended to immediately change clothes and take a bath so that there is no blemish for this virus to reach you.

         It is not yet known with certainty how long Covid-19 can last on the surface of an object, although preliminarg studies show that Covid-19 can last for several hours, depending on the type of surface, temperature, or humidity of the environment. But a simple disinfectant can kill the virus so that it is impossible to infect people again. And familiarize hand washing with soap and water, or alcohol-based hand rub, and avoid touching your eyes, mounth, or nose (facial triangle) more effectively protect yourself.

          So to be able to break the covid-19 chain the main thing that must be improved is the awareness of the community itself to folowing government rules, because this is not only about saving yourself and your family but also about saving the survival of all humans on eartg, maybe this is virus is small but did not have a small impact but rather a big impact.
