what is the mean of covid 19 | why is it called coronavirus?

 

covid 19

SO, the whole family of coronaviruses is named coronavirus because corona means crown and so this refers to the way that the virus looks under the microscope like there's a crown on the top of the virus. Some of the four or five different. kinds cause common diseases among humans.

Everything from the common cold to mild or moderate respiratory illnesses other kinds of coronaviruses affect animals and sometimes on rare occasions. 

we see the coronaviruses jump from animal species into the human population in the 2019 novel. 

Coronavirus is getting a lot of attention now because it is a new kind of coronavirus we haven't seen among humans before the theory is that it may have jumped from an animal species into the human population and then begun spreading.

we have seen some people that have died of this disease and we know that there are already thousands of cases so people are concerned because we don't yet know exactly how severe the disease will be or how far it will spread when a new virus emerges. 

We often have to learn much more about it and one of the things that we question is how does.it transmitted from person to person we know that most respiratory viruses are spread by large droplets that come out when people coffins sneeze and stay aloft usually for about six feet in front of them, they land on surfaces and then can also be transmitted between the person to person by touching those surfaces.

such as doorknobs or other surfaces other viruses can spread in the air and stay aloft for a longer period of time in small droplet nuclei for this current 2019 coronavirus we're not yet sure whether it is droplet or airborne transmission so we're airing on the side of caution and taking protection as if.

It was spread by the airborne route we're still learning a lot about this.2019 novel coronavirus. To understand how dangerous it might be right now the majority of the cases are in China we know that some travelers have brought the virus to other countries including the United States.

I think one of the main things to keep in mind is that this is respiratory virus season and we have other respiratory viruses like influenza that we need to take precautions because we know we have thousands of cases and thousands of deaths in this country.

Every year from influenza given the ongoing transmission of the virus in China we have a travel alert that was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention so at this time until we know more avoid non-essential travel to China.

Johns Hopkins Health System and health systems across the nation are busy right now preparing to safely identify isolate evaluate and care for patients in 2019. novel coronavirus. 

We have the capability of doing this safely by utilizing personal protective equipment by implementing trave screenings so that we can quickly identify patients who have risk factors for the disease and then implementing isolation precautions the use of personal protective equipment and other measures to make sure that we limit
