Corona virus is getting more dangerous day
by day. Its prevalence is even greater as its transmission increases and the
number of people dying from it increases. The first victims of the corona virus
are patients with heart disease, diabetes, and asthma. Researchers in China, after
studying 72,000 patients have concluded that, 10.5 percent of Oman patients
dying from the virus were cardiovascular patients. The mortality rate for the
virus was 7.3% in diabetic patients and 6.3% in those with severe respiratory
diseases.
The World Health Organization recently
directed that people stay away from people who may be exposed to the virus as
soon as possible. Take extra care when approaching sick people. The number of
infected patients and deaths worldwide is increasing.
The death rate is higher for the elderly
and other patients.
In the study no separate conclusions have
been drawn about the age or gender, and it is not known who is the most
affected by the virus. Virus infection is spreading worldwide. Those who die
after becoming infected have a higher proportion of elderly or other disease
patients. Researchers at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention
tested 72314 patients and were clinically diagnosed as infected with covid-19. The
average mortality rate in these patients was only 2.3 percent. But mortality
rates were significantly higher among patients who were elderly or suffering
from other diseases. Coronary virus mortality among people with serious
respiratory diseases was 6.3 percent.
Greater risk to Britain after Italy.
In the Britain 5000 to 10000 people
suspected of being infected with the corona virus. So far only 600 people have
been identified and 20 patients are undergoing treatment. 80 percent of the
population can be infected, meaning 53 million people. Many British families
will lose their loved ones. The situation can get serious in the next 10 to 14
weeks. Britain is 3 weeks behind Italy where 827 people have died and 2500 have
been diagnosed.
Some points to note down -
- People with mild symptoms, such as 37.8 C fever
or persistent cough, should stay at home and not go out for a week.
- People in the house should maintain a
distance of two feet from each other and should sleep alone.
- If people experience mild symptoms, they
should take immediate action and isolate themselves.
- If symptoms persist for more than 7 days,
log on to the NHS website.
- People who have symptoms in the hospital
only test the NHS Corona virus.
- Those above the age of 70 should avoid
cruise travel.
- A trip to a foreign school should be
avoided.
The steps those can save –
If people with mild symptoms stay at home
for about a week, the risk may be reduced by 20 to 25 percent.
If a person is ill, leaving the whole
family alone can reduce the risk by up to 25%.
Preventing older people from being infected
with compassion can reduce the risk of death by such a condition.
