How do you Become Infected with the Corona Virus ?

How do you get infected?

The Corona virus is a respiratory disease.
The infection by the Corona virus occurs through 
the mouth and nose cavity.
You need a virus carrier and a healthy person for this.

What happens to your airways?
They get annoyed. Pulmonary fibrosis occurs.

What is pulmonary fibrosis?

Pulmonary fibrosis is a rare, chronic disease of the lungs.

In pulmonary fibrosis, the lungs can no longer absorb 
enough oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide (our 'exhaust gas').

The lungs no longer work as they should.

Pulmonary fibrosis often develops in months or years, 
usually by people over the age of sixty.

Sometimes pulmonary fibrosis develops acutely, 
within a few days.

In pulmonary fibrosis, there is so-called connective tissue formation in the lungs.

This means that the walls of the alveoli are getting thicker.
The alveoli allow us to absorb oxygen from the air and 
exhale carbon dioxide. This is a waste from our body.

In order to get to the blood, the oxygen has to pass 
through the wall of the alveoli.

If that wall is thicker than normal, it is therefore more 
difficult to get enough oxygen.
The connective tissue formation also makes the contents 
of the lungs smaller and the lung tissue somewhat stiffer.

The shortage of oxygen and the smaller lung contents 
cause you to get stuffy and suffer from shortness of breath.

Those are the two main features of pulmonary fibrosis.

These complaints are usually severe, especially with exertion.

If you are short of oxygen, you are often tired and listless.

In addition, it is not good for some organs if they get 
too little oxygen, like the heart and brain.

Without enough oxygen, those organs cannot operate at full strength.

This creates a coughing fit. Coughing releases particles 
into the space.

This is the harmful zone that can be released 2 meters.

Therefore, it is dangerous to come in large groups of people.

Note: It is claimed that the virus is less strong at higher temperatures.

This is not right. In any case, the infection is high by 
humans on humans.

Outside of Wuhan, in China, where the virus originated, 
there are also high temperatures. 
You have seen the result worldwide:

millions of infections and thousands of deaths worldwide.

So we shouldn't count ourselves rich at higher temperatures.

Infections are stronger and higher in areas where 
temperatures are below 25 degrees.

Be alert to the following..

The infections happen at favorable temperatures and 
where many people are.

In public areas, for example in the supermarket.

Think of air-cooled spaces. There is a lot of coughing 
and sneezing.

Think of the shopping cart handles touched by many 
sick people and sneezed under.

These handles have not been cleaned.

These are all risks of contamination.

Prefer to order by groceries online.

The staff is extra trained behind the scenes to work sterile.

They should always make their hands sterile and pick up 
the groceries with clean gloves.

The groceries are then transported to the destination in the refrigerator.

The groceries are no longer delivered to the kitchen, but 
placed at the door. You pay online. 

The delivery person walks to his van and makes his hands
sterile again with an alcohol gel.

So you don't have to hoard.

The suppliers can supply enough products in time.

The supermarkets are calling and e-mailing to all people..

that you can do your shopping in a normal way and not 
have to hoard. And yet people don't listen.

See example of an Albert Heijn XL supermarket in The Hague..

The easiest way to transmit the virus is to shake hands

and give a hug.

Keep at least 3 meters away from people.

Even in the beginning when you don't know you are 
a carrier yet.
Even if you don't cough and don't sneeze yet.. the risks are probably
already there.

The initial symptoms are a mild runny nose, a mild fever..

later a real cough develops..

The virus gradually develops and matures.

You have to isolate yourself from other people from 
the beginning.

So you can no longer come into contact with people, 
otherwise you spread the virus.

Then you may not be in contact with your children, partner 
and family for the time being.

Weak, sick people and the elderly are extra vulnerable 
and risk of death.

People with a stronger resistance and young people 
have a chance to get well again..

and then stop the virus and the infection.

So once you have a nose or throat defect, you are at risk.

The virus develops quickly.. after a few days you will get

the other complaints.

Isolate from then on.. to get better again.

Work on your resistance, hygiene and prevention measures
to prevent the infection and stop virus.

At some point, the virus will decrease.

Do not constantly touch your face.

Always disinfect your belongings and hands.

When you have to go outside, always put on 
a clean mouth mask.

Place this well over your nose and mouth.

Do not touch or take it off when you are outside.

Be aware that buttons in public areas such as bus stops,

trams, bus, metro, train are touched by many sick people.

Therefore, do not touch your face afterwards.

Also, do not touch your mouth and nose with your hands.

Disinfect your hands before touching your face.

Use Dettol wipes or other brands of disinfectant 
wipes to wipe your hands and mobile, but also 
the steering wheel of your car and the handles of 
the doors of your car.

Wipe the shopping trolley handle with 
a Dettol wipe before touching it.

Use a second wipe for security and your safety.

The disinfectant wipes are therefore very useful 
and important.

If you wash your hands, don't forget your palm 
and nails, and don't forget to take your watch off.

After you wash your hands and nails with 
disinfectant soap..

Dry your hands with a clean tissue and use 
an alcohol gel to get the hands sterile.

Are you only going to wash your hands and 
you don't dry them with a clean tissue?

Then you dilute the virus size and spread it 
on your hands.

During sneezing and blowing and / or 
coughing everything comes on your clothes and watch.

Wear clean clothes daily and wipe the watch with 
a disinfectant cloth or take the watch off.

A watch and a mobile phone are a source of bacteria.

Clean everything with disinfectant wipes or 
use the watch and mobile at home.

Don't bring the phone full of bacteria to 
your face and ears.

The ears, throat and nose are 1 cavity connected together 
with mucous membranes.

That's why you have the ENT department.
This is the ear, nose and throat cavity department 
in the hospital.

In Italy, they underestimate the contagiousness, 
hence 20,000 infections and 12,000 deaths. 
And more than 100,000 infections in Israel.

Therefore, don't underestimate this deadly virus.

To stop these infections and viruses together, we must all

comply with hygiene measures and implement preventive measures.

Just think of the Spanish flu that claimed 100 million lives worldwide in 1918 and 1919.
