Cells:
These are basic biological build blocks.
Bacteria
It is a singular complex cell with no host required for its survival.
Antibiotic:
Antibiotics damage bacteria so the body’s immune system can fight them. They do not work against viruses.
Viruses
they are not cells and smaller in size .viruses multiply themselves and infecting host’s healthy cells after entering into them.
Antibodies
Antibodies perform:
- neutralization i.e they are secreted into mucosa and blood after binding with foreign substances to stop their function or make them inactive.
- opsonization i.e facilitation to phagocytosis of incoming substances by phagocytic cells.
- destruction i.e to destroy bacterial cells.
The word novel means "new".The word novel with corona related to its novelty in corona virus as this virus is different than the previous one.
Fomite
The materials or objects which are carriers for infections and causes the spreading of such infection i.e utensils, clothes, etc.
Social distancing in corona virus:
According to world health organization(WHO), the social distancing in corona is about 3 feet to avoid the transmission of virus while some other person who may be infected specifically when he/she is coughing or sneezing.
Symptomatic of corona:
the symptomatic person of corona indicating the symptoms related to corona virus disease is known as a symptomatic person.The common symptoms for novel
corona virus disease is cough, fever, or shortness of breadth.
How a person being symptomatic of corona
Commonly transmission of corona virus is from one person to another person through some other person who is symptomatic.
Note: if you are symptomatic, don't move from your city as it will be the reason for spreading of the disease in a country or whole world rather than this move to the nearest health recovery center.
Pre-symptomatic person of corona
The corona virus symptoms not shown commonly in hours or seconds but it took days.It resides in a body and initially without an alarming situation.So be careful and adopt safety measures.
what is meant by the outbreak in corona virus?
The term outbreak means the spreading of virus/disease above the normal rate. so corona virus is also an outbreak.
Epidemic
It is a condition for quick penetration but it's less intense than a pandemic.
pandemic: It is more than an epidemic, it is considered as a global spread. On 11th of March 2020, WHO declared novel corona CVID-19 as a pandemic.
Disease cluster
A disease cluster is a health-related spreading that lies in the same region in the same period of time.so corona virus is fulfilling this condition.
N95 Respirators(surgical masks)
such masks used for protection of airborne particles, flammability, bio-compatibility and from liquid contaminating the face.Worker related to the construction field also uses such a mask for the presentation of dust and small particles.The respirator is also coated with the ability of killing or reduction of microorganisms.
N95 Respirators(surgical masks) Regulated by:
National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Remember: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) it is not only the solution for prevention from respiratory diseases.
