What does the Corona Virus Do to Your Body?
The Coronavirus came out in December last year but has now become a global outbreak of the Quad-19.
Most people suffering
from the disease do not have the same effect and are recovering, but some
people have died as a result. So the question is how does this virus affect the
body, why are some people being killed as a result and how is the disease
treated?
Incubation or Care Period
During this period the virus is catching its spot. Viruses
generally take control of your body's cells by accessing them. The coronavirus, called SARS-KOV-2, attacks your body when you inhale it (when coughing
nearby) or you touch your face after touching something. Touch which contains
the virus. First, the virus infects the cells that are in your throat,
respiratory tract, and lungs and turns them into 'coronavirus factories' that
produce more viruses that affect more cells. There are. You will not be ill at
an early stage and most people will not show symptoms of the disease.
The duration of the infection is different in the duration of
care and the symptoms appear but it is reported on average five days.
Mild Illness
Most people have similar reactions during the illness.
Covid-19 is a common infection for eight out of ten people and its main
symptoms include fever and cough.
Body aches, sore throat, and headaches are also among the
symptoms but these symptoms do not have to be apparent.
Fever and fall in nature are caused by the immune response in
the body. It identifies the virus as a troublesome invader and sends a chemical
substance called cytokines all over the body to send it that something is going
wrong.
Because of this, the immune system in the body is stimulated
but it also causes physical pain, discomfort, and fever.
The coronavirus initially has a dry cough (no mucus) and is
probably due to the anxiety caused by the virus in the cells.
Some people eventually begin to get thick material such as mucus,
which contains cells that die from the virus.
These symptoms can be overcome by taking paracetamol with
rest, high amounts of water and alcohol. You do not need a hospital or doctor
to do this.
This phase lasts for a week, with most people recovering at
that stage because their immune system contrasts with the virus.
However, some people had a relatively serious condition of
Cod-19.
We have only known so much about this stage so far, but
groundwater observations have shown that there are symptoms of colds, including
runny nose.

Severe Illness
If the disease is aggravated, it means that the immune system
is over-reacting to the virus.
Chemical signals sent to the body cause irritation. However,
it must be balanced very closely. Too many infections cause damage throughout
the body.
"This virus causes a lot of inflammation in the immune
system and causes a lot of inflammation and we don't know how it is," says
Nathalie McDermott, a doctor at King's College London.
Lung inflammation is called pneumonia. If it were possible to
enter the mouth, you would pass through small tubes through the airway and into
small air sacs.
This is where oxygen is added to the blood and carbon dioxide
comes out, but in the case of the sample, these small bags are filled with water
and begin to breathe and have difficulty breathing.
Some people have to resort to a ventilator to breathe.
According to data from China, 14 percent of people were
affected by this stage.
Anxiety Disorders
It is estimated that only six percent of people with the disease has reached a critical level.
At that time the body stopped functioning and the chances of
death was created.
The problem is that at this point the immune system starts to
rotate uncontrollably and damages the entire body.
Because of this, the body goes into septic shock and the
blood pressure drops to an alarming rate and the organs stop functioning or
become completely inactive.
Inflammation in the lungs causes severe respiratory distress
and oxygen is not reached in the body as needed. This stops the kidney's
cleansing process and destroys the intestinal tract.
Dr. Bharat Pankhania says, "The virus is so infectious
that people end up dying and many organs stop working."
If the immune system fails to control the virus, it goes into
every corner of the body, causing further damage.
Up to this point, treatment can be very severe, including
ECMO, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
It is an artificial lung that drains blood from the body
through thick tubes, pours oxygen into them and puts it back into the body.
But eventually, the damage goes to death and the organs fail
to keep the body alive.

Early Deaths
Doctors described how some patients died despite their best
efforts.
The first two patients who died at the hospital in Wuhan,
China, were previously healthy, although they had long smoked. That's why his
lungs were weak.
The first 61-year-old man suffered severe pneumonia until
being brought to the hospital. He had severe breathing problems and despite
being put on a ventilator his lungs became dysfunctional and his heart stopped
functioning. He died 11 days later.
The other patient was 69 years old and also had shortness of
breath. They were also tried to survive with the help of machines but this
proved insufficient. They died of severe pneumonia and septic shock when their
blood pressure dropped.
