Calculate Your SARS-CoV-2 Period

        

   SARS-CoV-2 is the most dangerous virus around the world with this new decade. If we catch the virus, when can we spread the virus molecules?

    The answer is not obvious but scientists have found the process for spreading. I want to talk about the process of using names which will help people to understand effectively.

   Jeremy who meets his infected friend Sarah may get infected. If both of them don't use a mask and pay action the social distance, healthy Jeremy can infect easily. 

   According to the reports, if Jeremy gets the virus molecules from Sarah, 2 or 5 days later he will catch the virus. However, if this person's immune system is stronger to fight the virus molecules, he may not have the virus that is really rare around the world.

   For instance, If Jeremy meets with his patient friend Sarah on 10 May, he will probably become infected on 12 or 15 May.  

   After Jeremy get infected, the incubation period starts, that is the time between when he becomes infected and when he develops signs and symptoms. Then, he may have some symptoms such as:

🔶 Chest pain

🔶 Coughing

🔶 Fever and Chills

🔶 Headache

🔶 Fatigue 

🔶 Muscle pain

🔶 Difficulty breathing

However, he don't have any symptoms that we called " asymptomatic patient ". This type of people is really dangerous for us because we don't know who is the real patient.

   When Jeremy have bad symptoms, he becomes a real spreader case that is called " infectious ". He should not see a doctor until he has chest pain and difficulty breathing problems. This mild illness period is about 10 days. If Jeremy becomes infected on 15 May, he finishes his mild illness period on 25 May.

   After a mild illness period, severe illness period starts that is about 2 or more weeks. Their symptoms becomes more rare which depends on Jeremy's immune system. When he don't have any symptoms for 3 days, he becomes a healthy person again. At this point is really important because he is still an infectious person until he don't have any signs. Probably, 8 June is the day to become a healthy person.

   You can calculate your virus period with this calculation way. If you don't want to become infected, you should do all of them:

1- Sneeze into your elbows not your hands

2- Wash your hand regularly for at least 20 seconds

3- Stay home  

4- Keep 1.5 metres away from others

5- Use hand sanitizer to prevent spreading 

6- If you go outside, you should wear a mask 

7- Avoid touching your face

If you do all of them, your possible infection rate certainly eliminates.

   This type of viruses are an inseparable part of our lives. We should get experience for other possible epidemic viruses in the future.
