Covid-19

Covid-19 has brought nothing but change and negativity in most of people's lives. Well not all negativity if you think about it even in difficult times, there will always be something positive to celebrate. 

Covid-19 also known as the famous corona virus... the virus has become so famous like some kind of celebrity that people even celebrated it's birthday... I see positivity right there. As you can figure out from the name that it is a virus not just a virus, a deadly virus which kills every living thing in it's way. This virus has no feelings whatsoever I would say it only thinks about itself. 

Corona virus was originated from Wuhan, China. It was born on November 17 2019. It recently became one year old with thousands of haters waiting for it to die (no offence to corona).Many people believe that an animal in the seafood market in Wuhan was affected by the virus. The rest of the rumours are still in making. 

Where exactly did this virus come from and the answer to that question is... YES, you guessed it... BATS. Bats were the animal that firstly got infected with the virus and the virus passed on to humans as one human being decided to have bats for lunch or dinner.

Imagine waking up, it's a new year, the sun is bright and shining and you have your whole day planned and in the back of your mind you keep telling yourself... YES, this year will be mine. You are just about to leave and you suddenly get the news that there is a whole pandemic going on and you have to cancel all your plans whatsoever and the fact that you cannot even argue or talk back because you know that staying home is the only best thing to do. All your plans just being shattered, your boss calling you and you might be thinking oh maybe he is being considerate and will make my life easier but once again you get to hear another bad news that your job is at stake or that you cannot travel to see your loved ones anymore. All you can do is pray and hope for the best. 

But on a serious note if you have a feeling that you may have gotten the virus or if you are unsure then here are some symptoms to help you figure out:

Most common symptoms are:

1. Fever 

2. Dry cough

3. Tiredness ( that doesn't mean you go for a run and you feel tired so you think you have the virus)

Less common symptoms:

1. Pain 

2. Sore throat

3. Diarrhoea 

4. Headaches 

5. Loss of taste or smell

6. A rash on the skin or discoloration of your fingers or toes.

Serious symptoms include:

1. Loss of speech 

2. Chest pain or pressure

3. Difficulty in breathing.

If you ever experience any serious symptoms it is best for you to seek immediate help as you don't wanna harm anyone else.

The best way to prevent the greedy virus from harming you is:

1. Avoid crowded places.

2. Wash hands with soap for at least 20 seconds ( which you all should be doing even before the virus happened)

3. Avoid contact with sick people.

4. Avoid travelling :(

5. Wear a mask

6. Avoid touching your nose, eyes and face with unwashed hands.

My condolences to all the families who have lost their loved ones during these difficult times. You guys are truly the heroes and may you remain strong and never loose hope.

And a big THANK YOU to all the doctors and nurses and everyone out there helping the patients and risking their lives for others.♡♡
