Question

The past two months have led to an abundance of information on the novel disease COVID-19 and the virus that causes this disease, SARS CoV-2.

1.      Describe your understanding of the physiology of the disease on any of the systems of the body and how our understanding has changed.
2.      Because the seriousness and enormity of the pandemic, the rush to make recommendations on the treatment of the disease has led to poorly researched recommendations. Give an example of a bad recommendation and describe the negative impact this recommendation would have on a patient.

Answer 1

In the past two months, we have come along way in understanding the COVID-19 and the virus that causes this disease, SARS CoV-2 on the human body.

First thing this is an infectious disease that came in clear in a few months. The virus has positive-stranded RNA viruses with the nucleocapsid. Many things haven't been discovered yet but it blocks the hosts innate immunity system and carry on their mechanism. After the establishment of virus in the human body, it attacks the cells lining your throat, airways and lungs and reproduce many after them. Which causes cough in lungs and cough might come with some dead cells in the lung. Our understanding of this virus was changed by WHO when they finally gave all ground reports on the function of the virus.

Yes, the rush to make recommendations on the treatment of the disease has led to poorly researched recommendations. For example in India, there was a recommendation that drinking more and more hot water it will take the virus down to your stomach where stomach acids will kill them. But it was not true so people were not understanding the seriousness of the diseases, Negative impact was that with a little cold people will start treating with hot water that might be corona we did not know for sure.

This was my understanding with virus, I hope it helps
