Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus. The disease causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing.

1. Does the new Corona virus only affect older people?

People, irrespective of their ages can be infected by the new corona virus (2019-nCoV). It is true that old age people who are above 50 are more vulnerable to this virus and people with pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma, heart diseases are also vulnerable. Therefore, all people irrespective of their age should take precautions for example, by following good hand hygiene and respiratory health.

Conclusion: Precautions have to be taken by everyone regardless of their age.

2. Are thermal scanners effective in detecting people infected with Corona virus?

Thermal scanner can be used for detecting temperature of human body and it can only detect whether a person is having fever. Its function is to detect person with high temperature. It have it own disadvantage as well. Usually, a person with corona virus develop fever after 2-10 days.

Conclusion: Thermal scanner itself have accuracy issues in detecting person with fever.

3. Alcohol kills Corona virus that have entered your body?

There is no known tests of what kills the Covid-19 virus.

Alcohol can be useful to kill corona virus only when it is not taken internally. Though applying excess alcohol may cause skin damage as it harms to mucous membrane. Moderate amount of alcohol can be useful to kill virus if it is applied on hands (avoid rubbing/applying it on face). Doctors are recommending the following to kill the virus (based on their previous tests with other variants).

i) Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds . Then dry your hands. When your hands dry, the virus dies

ii) Use alcohol based sanitizers (although it is bad for skin)

Conclusion: Alcohol is effective if applied on hand, but still it should not be used at excess.

4. Is Corona virus curable?

Teeny tiny viruses are one of the biggest threats that humanity has ever faced. They are behind some of the most devastating pandemics ever known. Compared to infectious agents like bacteria and fungi, viruses are much smaller and simpler. In fact, viruses can even make other germs sick. Yet they’re so simple that most scientists don’t even consider them to be living organisms.

They enter the human body and use our mechanism for survival, they invade cells and hijack their host’s machinery to make copies of themselves. which is the reason for why viruses are difficult to cure.

The problem is that a virus can cause a lot of damage and infect other people before the immune system readies its defenses.

Conclusion: The best way to fight a virus is to reduce the spread of infections and this could be done by just sitting on the couch while watching your favorite show on television

5. Using a mask to prevent this virus is mandatory?

The science, according to the CDC, says that surgical masks won’t stop the wearer from inhaling small airborne particles, which can cause infection. Nor do these masks form a snug seal around the face. The CDC recommends surgical masks only for people who already show symptoms of corona virus and must go outside, since wearing a mask can help prevent spreading the virus by protecting others nearby when you cough or sneeze. The agency also recommends these masks for caregivers of people infected with the virus. There is already short supply for masks as there is an increase in their demand worldwide

Precautions:

If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with suspected 2019-nCoV infection.

Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing.

Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.

If you wear a mask, then you must know how to use it and dispose of it properly.

Conclusion: There is no need for healthy to put on mask.
