Novel Coronavirus, You Can Recover! (2019 NCOV)
2019-NCOV (2019 Novel Coronavirus) is from the family of Coronaviruses.
Coronavirus is found in both Humans and Animals, and causes breathing problems like common Cough & other respiratory illnesses. Usually common Coronavirus infections can be easily cured and do not need hospitalization, but if a person's immune system is weak it can transform into a Severe Case of Viral Pneumonia which causes hospitalization or even death.
2019-NCOV (2019 Novel Coronavirus) is a new strain of Coronavirus, it originated from a Huge Seafood's and Animal Market in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, in China. This Coronavirus is still Unnamed because its Animal origin is yet to be determined. This is why its called "Novel" which means "New".
The Severe Coronaviruses that has infected humans came from the Animals. SARS-COV (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) from Civets Cat origin and MERS-COV (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) which came from the Camels, and now the 2019-NCOV (2019 Novel Coronavirus) which is suspected to come from one of the animals sold in the Exotic Seafood's & Animal Market in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, in China, are just some of the examples of Severe Coronaviruses. (Suspect: Bats or Huge Snake "Sawa", Eaten Raw by the Buyers, considered exotic food).
The 2019 NCOV (2019 Novel Coronavirus) can infect Human with Person to Person contact. The Droplets or saliva of the person infected with the 2019 NCOV (2019 Novel Coronavirus), may enter the lungs of a person close (6 feet),when it enters the mouth, eyes or even the open wound.
People infected with the 2019 NCOV (2019 Novel Coronavirus) may not manifest symptoms. It is called Asymptomatic, meaning that a person is infected but does not have any symptoms such as Cough, Sore Throat, Headache or Fever. Asymptomatic Infected Person or Infected Person without symptoms is going through the so-called Incubation Period. The Incubation Period can last from 0-14 days, our Immune System will play a big role in this 14 day incubation period as it determines whether a person infected with 2019 NCOV will recover or transform into a Severe Case of Viral Pneumonia which may cause hospitalization or death to the infected person?
It must be clear that not all infected with 2019 NCOV (2019 Novel Coronavirus) will die, only the ones who will acquire a Severe Case of Viral Pneumonia are in danger. According to the data, most people infected with the 2019 NCOV (2019 Novel Coronavirus) who transformed a Severe Case of Viral Pneumonia are people aged 30 years old and over, the younger people infected with the NCOV virus who are very healthy and have very strong immune system did not need hospitalization and just brushed off the 2019 NCOV, and those who are older & have pre-exiting diseases that weakens the immune system, diseases such as Diabetes, Autoimmune Diseases, HIV, AIDS, etc. are the ones who have died.
2019-NCOV (2019 Novel Coronavirus) has no cure yet. Drinking Antibiotics wont cure the infected since Antibiotics are for Bacteria's, NCOV is a not a Bacteria but a Virus. Right Now, the best we can do is to keep our environment clean, practice good personal hygiene , strengthen our Immune System by taking Vitamins and lots of water.
Hopefully I've been able to give some clarity on what the 2019 NCOV (2019 Novel Coronavirus) is.
