Is COVID-19 A Pandemic


The virus appeared suddenly at the end of 2019 in Wuhan city of China. Coronaviruses are common, you have expressed the possibility of having coronavirus several times, it is a type of virus that causes the common cold. But they can also cause SARS and MERS, two diseases that have very high mortality rates. SARS-CoV-2 causes of the disease have been named COVID-19 for Coronovirus Disease 2019. The disease previously spread very rapidly in China and now most of the new cases are out of China. This raises the question. Do we have an epidemic?

It doesn't really matter and it really matters a lot. An epidemic is a sudden, unexpectedly spread of a disease worldwide. Although we have not seen any evidence of COVID-19 in the early months of the outbreak, we have now seen cases that are either not directly related to travel, or are not in contact with those who have traveled. Instead, it seems that this may be known as the spread of the community. Community dissemination or community cases inevitably occur when the source of infection is unknown. In this case, it would mean people who have not come to China and are also not in direct contact with someone who is getting sick in China recently. It is spreading from one person to another in their own community through coughing or sneezing drops.

It seems that there are more cases than outbreaks to which the responders are probably aware, because those people are not sick enough to go to the doctor only. Does this make this epidemic?

Again, there is not a hard and fast rule there, but remember that we have to watch not only domestic broadcasts, but continuous broadcasts. So is this happening? By the way, many experts and scientists say yes, but, WHO has chosen not to use the term pandemic. They are looking for a continuous, community-acquired transmission — this, many, many cases where one does not know how someone became ill. No one takes such news lightly, and they think so. It spreads from one person to another when a sick person coughs or sneezes. It has also been suggested that many cases are being spread by people without any symptoms. This word only describes where the disease is spreading. Don't be sure what the COVID-19 mortality rate is. It is changing so fast that even a number is difficult. For one thing, it is far different in China than the rest of the world and in some parts of China compared to other parts of China. For another, the actual rate may be very low, as mild cases may very well be unfamiliar. Finally, whether something is an epidemic or an epidemic as a disease may have a lot to do with our response to the disease. If it is an epidemic, then the nation or region where this is happening may try to contain it and prevent it from coming out.



But with an epidemic, mitigation efforts such as monitoring, treatment and protecting vulnerable populations may receive greater attention. They can focus on spreading the disease through socially inconsistent things like dropping out of school or postponing mass aggregation, rather than attempting to keep it out of the community. And there are things that we as individuals can do to help prevent the spread of the disease. People should be aware of the symptoms of this disease including fever, dry cough, and fatigue. The main COVIDs are specific things to see. People can also have aches and pains, a sore throat, a runny or congested nose and I realize that these are now symptoms of a cold or flu. Avoid touching your face, avoid close contact with people who are ill and staying at home if you are sick yourself. You should wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Surgical masks are good at keeping your belongings, not necessarily the world outside. So unless you are a health worker or already ill, or you are in a specific situation where your doctor has recommended masks, they will not do much. And we should leave them for the people they need. In short, it makes sense that the word "pandemic" is being thrown around, whether COVID-19 is by definition one or assigned by WHO. It is okay to be worried.

There are many people who have been affected, families who have lost loved ones and we should keep them in our hearts. There are obvious things we can do to reduce the risk of transmission, both for our own benefit and those around us. Us. And there are many smart people working day and night to make our environment a better place.

For which we should be grateful for their service and appreciate the efforts behind it.
