Answer 1

COVID 19 had spread like a pandemic in the world, starting from Wuhan China it affected the whole world because the fact that it spread through human contact was neglected, and the international flights in and out of China was still operating.

As per China's version, it was a virus they were experimenting in the laboratory; it escaped from the laboratory and attacked the City market in Wuhan. The people who got infected by the disease had symptoms similar to Pneumonia that worsened day by day and before the diagnosis is done the infected person dies. A young doctor Li Wenliang informed the management that the spread of the disease is due to human touch but he was told not to spread rumors, Unfortunately, that doctor got infected and died in February 2020.

The symptoms are fever, dry cough, tiredness, aches, and pains, headache, sore throat. In severe cases, the person feels difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, loss of speech, chest pain, or pressure this can be fatal.

It spread through the mucous droplets from the nose or the mouth of the infected person or through contact route like touching an object that an infected person had touched. Once the cause and the symptoms were known it was the precaution a person has to take like covering his nose and mouth, washing hands after touching an object, cover the mouth while sneezing and do not spit in public. Get a medical check-up in case of any sign appearing resembling the symptoms are felt.

2. The people suffering from it are afraid because it directly attacks the breathing and lungs. The attack is sudden and in severe cases, the medicines do not work.

a. In the case of testing due to the sudden outbreak, there was a shortage of testing kits, ventilators, and medicines. The incubation period is longer thus the symptoms are not immediately noticed until the patients feel suffocation and breathing difficulty. At this stage the patient require immediate help otherwise there is difficulty in treating the patient and that can lead to death.

The reason for the problems is the a. The Chinese government had hidden the fact from the world.

b. On 3rd January 2020 that means after 2 months of the outbreak, it informed WHO about the disease. On 7th January 2020, the found the new virus and called it novel coronavirus the Chinese Government informed WHO with further details on 11thy and 12th of January 2020.

c. By this time Chinese people flew to different parts of the world taking viruses along with them and it became a pandemic.

3. The solution: a. For the sudden outbreak it is difficult to control. It is definite that in a sudden outbreak the hospitals and medical teams are exhausted with the increased number of patients and shortage of equipments. This teaches us that every hospital should have enough stock that does not have expiry dates, like ventilators, injections, etc.

b. The place where the disease spreads it is the duty of that country or place to be sealed and total details of the disease and the precautionary measure taken by that country should be informed to the people at large.

c. The government should urge its people to adhere to the norms issued by the medical team and the government for benefit of their benefit.

4. The best solution is the combination of all three solutions that the government should inform its people about the outbreak and restrict their movement the people. They should inform WHO about it so that the world at large would come to know about it and take precautionary measures. The hospital and medical team should be appreciated and equipped with medical facilities for the treatment and their safety.
