7 Truths About Coronavirus

Ever since this outbreak has been assimilated all over the world, it became my kind of interest and I was slowly thriving to know the truths about this matter. I am no expert nor a scientist. But  I am a freakin learner and I am one of their so-called "front-liners". 

As we all know, this disease Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans.

I am still striving to learn more about this disease but here are some 7 truths I learned and I hope this helps you to learn something as well as me. 

• TRUTH NO. 1 ---> Coronavirus is large in size where the cell diameter is 400 - 500 micrometers and for this reason, any mask prevents this entry.

• TRUTH NO. 2 ---> The virus does not settle in the air but is grounded. It means that they are unable to move. So it is not airborne or transmitted in the air. Some researchers said that when the virus becomes suspended in droplets smaller than 5 micrometers (also known as aerosols) it can stay suspended for about a half-hour. But even the World Health Organization's stand about the virus is not an airborne process. 

• TRUTH NO. 3 ---> When it falls on a metal surface, it will live for at least 12 freakin hours, so wash hands with soap and water well enough.

• TRUTH NO. 4 ---> On the fabric, it remains 9 hours. So of course, wash your damn clothes or being exposed to the sun for TWO (2) hours is enough to kill it. You can't just kill it. You can have more than enough Vitamin D as well. Remember! One of Vitamin D's important roles is keeping your immune system strong so you're able to fight off viruses and bacteria that cause illness. 

• TRUTH NO. 5 ---> The virus stays on your hands for 10 minutes. Aside from washing hands thoroughly, you can also use a hand sanitizer to prevent it. So always keep them in your pocket if you can. But you know yourself if your hands are dirty or not so read back the bold phrase of truth number 3 or take a look on ---> Proper Hand Hygiene 

• TRUTH NO. 6 ---> If the virus is exposed to a temperature of 26-27'c it will be killed as it doesn't live in hot regions. If you can, prefer drinking hot water and have sun exposure than eating ice cream and cold drinks. These viruses easily get in if the new host has a colder temperature than those hot ones. 

• TRUTH NO. 7 ---> Gargling with warm and saltwater prevents them from leaking into your lungs. It has been learned that tonsils germs lessen and thus these viruses and bacterias may have the difficulty going through your respiratory system.
