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.

General idea is that this virus appeared in a wet market in Wuhan with pangolins and bats. Unlike others, it spreads fast and it has 3 types of unusual proteins; Spikes (S) protein, Membrane (M) protein, and Envelope (E) protein. Spikes are really important for this virus because they are used as a key to get inside a cell in our body.       When it g...
