write a essay on covid 19
Answers
Explanation:
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
Answer:
The crisis precipitated by the novel coronavirus has demanded that we all be more imaginative and resilient. While the SSRC takes on the pandemic’s immediate and imminent consequences with fresh approaches, we also recognize that scholarly deliberation and extended perspective play a unique and important role in this moment. We have been reflecting on how the tradition of our nearly century-old mission has attuned us to respond to our present, but with the flexibility required of this time.
