COVID-19

Hi everyone, 

connoisseurs of Ditha's blog.

2020 will be a little scary for some people because of coronavirus or COVID-19. 

Many people hide behind the curtains of his house for fear. Many people returned to the right path as if competing for mercy. the gripping world is no longer as classic as before. Many people think, the earth is undergoing cleaning. One proof of the cleansing of the earth is a photograph of NASA's satellite. have you seen it? Then, there are those who think that this is a world conspiracy with the world's elite behind the chair. those who want to create a new world order.

then, actually, what is coronavirus?

A coronavirus is a virus that is found in animals and, rarely, can be transmitted from animals to humans and then spread person to person. 

In addition to COVID-19, other human coronaviruses have included:

The MERS virus, or Middle East respiratory syndrome.

The SARS virus, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, which first occurred in the Guangdong province in southern China.

Humans first get a coronavirus from contact with animals. Then, it can spread from human to human. Health officials do not know what animal caused COVID-19.

The COVID-19 virus can be spread through contact with certain bodily fluids, such as droplets in a cough. It might also be caused by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your hand to your mouth, nose, or eyes.

COVID-19 symptoms range from mild to severe. It takes 2-14 days after exposure for symptoms to develop. Symptoms may include:

 1. fever (The Centers for Disease Control considers a person to have a fever when he or she has a measured temperature of at least 100.4 °F [38 °C])

2. cough

3. shortness of breath

Those with weakened immune systems may develop more serious symptoms, like pneumonia or bronchitis. You may never develop symptoms after being exposed to COVID-19. So far, most confirmed cases are in adults, but some children have been infected. There is no evidence that children are at greater risk for getting the virus.

then, how to overcome the stigma of a community developing because of coronavirus?

The guide says: “Misconceptions, rumours and misinformation are contributing to stigma and discrimination, which hamper response efforts.

Correct misconceptions at the same time as acknowledging that people’s feelings and subsequent behaviour are very real, even if the underlying assumption is false.

“Promote the importance of prevention, lifesaving actions, early screening and treatment.'

“Collective solidarity and global cooperation are needed to prevent further transmission and alleviate the concerns of communities."

“Share sympathetic narratives or stories that humanise the experiences and struggles of individuals or groups affected by the new coronavirus (Covid-19)."

“Communicate support and encouragement for those who are on the frontlines of response to this outbreak (healthcare workers, volunteers, community leaders etc).”

The conclusion of the guide is very apt, i.e. “Facts, not fear, will stop the spread of Covid-19.”
