Is the Corona virus outbreak with the heat increase? If all goes well, the new Corona virus will be like a pandemic virus. Then the temperature rise will eliminate the germ that causes the COVID-19 disease.
Expectations are springing up in the spring and summer, but it is premature to say that the new Corona virus will also act as a pandemic virus. Experts cannot predict because, ‘the fact is, we do not know the virus yet,’ says Thomas Petschman, a viral oncologist.
Virus? Unknown!
Thomas Petschman, a research firm in the German city of Hanover, added, “The special thing about this virus is that humans are confronted for the first time. From the data obtained from China, we can conclude that the virus passed from animal to human and then began to spread from there. ”
Unlike the pandemic virus, the human immune system is not ready to attack the germ of the Corona virus.
In addition, the external situation is also helpful for the spread of the virus, which includes a factor temperature. Cold weather is conducive to the respiratory tract virus. “At low temperatures, the virus is stable,” said Petchman. It is as if the food kept in the refrigerator stays fresh longer. ”
Weather when it is cold and dry!
With the warmer weather, conditions are not favorable for many viruses. “The corona virus has layers of fat that cannot withstand heat,” Pettishman explained. This means that as the temperature rises, the bottom breaks down. ”
But for other microbes, the temperature is secondary. For example, the dengue virus is found in warm humid areas. But that doesn’t mean the virus likes the weather. In this case, the virus carrying the virus plays a central role while the role of temperature is secondary. ”
The air humidity also influences the transmission of viruses from the respiratory tract. In the case of sneezing or coughing, the germs get out and hang in the air practically. “In cold and dry weather, the virus hangs longer in the air than in high humidity,” Petschman said.
In cold and dry weather, the virus spreads rapidly. However, this procedure is initially done in a very secretive manner and it may take several weeks before symptoms and symptoms of the disease begin to appear.
Resistance in women is higher than in men
Fever, cough and frostbite are symptoms of viral diseases that indicate that the body is resistant to this external invader. The magnitude of this resistance has to do with the age and health of the affected patient as well as the sex.
Statistics available so far suggest that women are more likely to be immune to the corona virus than men. For this reason, the mortality rate in male patients is 2.8% while in women the death rate is 1.7%.
Explaining the issue, Petzman said, “Some genes related to the immune system are coded on the chromosome. Men have one X chromosome while two in women, so they have the privilege in that regard. ”
The new Corona virus epidemic in the Northern Territory will probably subside by the beginning of spring. However, according to the World Health Organization, there are several patients with SARS-CoV-2 in the Southern Hemisphere countries Australia and Brazil, and these areas are still hit by dry and cold weather.
