1. What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that spreads from person to person.
- The virus that causes COVID-19 is a ”novel coronavirus” that emerged from animal source but now it’s spreading from person to person.
- Some diseases are highly contagious, while some are less. Right now it’s unclear how easily the virus is spreading.
- Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.

2. Does it affect your mouth?
Its main target is the respiratory system.
But does Corona Virus spread through your mouth??? here are a few points to help you understand the virus.
- The virus is spread through droplets transmitted into the air through mouth, nose, or eyes.
- The viral particles in these droplets travel quickly to the back of your nasal passages and to the mucous membranes in the back of your throat, attaching to a particular receptor in cells.
- CORONA VIRUS particles have spiked proteins sticking out from their surfaces, and these spikes hook onto cell membranes, allowing the virus’s genetic material to enter the human cell.
- It doesn’t affect the mouth, but it spreads through Droplets like nasal Phlegm or even SALIVA.
- Patients having mouth cancer are prone to Covid-19, because they have a very weak immune system.

3. Where was COVID-19 born?
Long Long ago very long ago, on November 17th, 2019, a 55-year-old from Hubei province is the first person to get COVID-19.
- After a month there were 1-5 cases per day. And almost 60 cases by 20 Dec 2019.

4. Has Corona come anytime in the past?
A pandemic is a global outbreak of disease.
Pandemics happen when a new virus emerges to infect people and can spread between people sustainably.
- Because there is little to no pre-existing immunity against the new virus, it spreads worldwide.
- Coronaviruses were first discovered in the 1960s.
- The earliest ones discovered were an infectious bronchitis virus in chickens and two in human patients with the common cold.
- Most of these have involved serious respiratory tract infections.

5. General Spread
Are you afraid??? But Why????
Older adults and people of any age with underlying health conditions, such as diabetes, lung disease, or heart disease, are at greater risk of severe illness from COVID-19.
Glance over symptoms and effects
- Fever
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
Seek medical advice if you
Develop symptoms
Severe infections can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death.
So you have very little chance of getting infected unless you are near an infected individual.
Maintaining good mental health is very important during alarming situations.
Follow the protocols given below and stay safe and happy.

6. Past Pandemic Stories
A pandemic is a disease epidemic that has spread across a large region, for instance, multiple continents, or worldwide.
1. Plague of Athens, from 430 to 426 BC.
2. Antonine Plague, from 165 to 180 AD.
3. Plague of Justinian, from 541 to 750,
4. Black Death, from 1331 to 1353. The total number of deaths worldwide is estimated at 75 million people.
5. The third plague pandemic started in China in 1855 and spread to India, where 10 million people died.
6. Spanish flu, from 1918 to 1920. It infected 500 million people around the world, including people on remote Pacific islands and in the Arctic, and resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million people.
7. Other Pandemics are Cholera, Influenza, Typhus, Smallpox, Measles, T.B, Leprosy, Malaria, Yellow fever, Ebola Fever, Zika Virus.

7. JUST BE SUPER SAFE
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing; going to the bathroom; and before eating or preparing food.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Older people and people with severe chronic conditions should take special precautions because they are at higher risk of developing serious COVID-19 illness.
- It is recommended that those ill with COVID-19 limit contact with animals until more information is known about the virus.
- Visit your dentist to maintain good oral hygiene, so that the bacteria and other virus doesn’t thrive in your mouth.

8. CURRENT UPDATE
As of March 16, 2020 Businesses across China are reviving. More than 95 percent of Shanghai’s 277 shopping malls and 80 departmental stores have resumed operation as the COVID-19 epidemic situation in the city has improved.
- While the domestic situation is improving, the outbreak globally is looking grim. China has to pay more attention to preventing and controlling imported cases from abroad.
- Right now in India, 84 cases are reported with 2 deaths, one from Delhi and the other one from Karnataka.
