First, please understand that the data coming through most media outlets about the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is possibly unreliable. We really don't know. However, there are a few pieces of information worth considering in our efforts to protect ourselves, family and friends.
This we know: the COVID-19 incubation period is at least 24 days according to the Lancet (British Journal of Medicine). This is a problem because the US health departments are releasing people after 14 days.
Life of the COVID-19 virus on surfaces can last up to 9 days.
It appears that the virus can spread not only through the air but also through feces.
People can become infected more than once. This is important because, as occurred in the flu epidemic of 1918, people can die of a cytokine storm - an overproduction of immune cells and their activating compounds (cytokines), which, in a flu infection, is often associated with a surge of activated immune cells into the lungs.
We don’t exactly know what’s going on and most likely everyone will be exposed.
The virus enters the cell via a vesicle called an endosome. Once inside, it releases its RNA into the cell cytoplasm and hijacks the cell machinery to produce more viral proteins and thus virus. It also releases an enzyme called 3CL (3-chymotrypsin-like protease). This enzyme attacks the cells defense mechanism against the coronavirus inhibitors.
Optimum treatment is prevention, this is the key to dealing with this.
what does matter is our ability to protect ourselves.
An upside to this is that we can use this medical alert to improve our overall health, habits and wellbeing.
