Corona viruses .. discovered in the sixties and infect animals and humans

The focus of the world today is on the SARS Cove 2 virus that has killed tens of thousands; this virus is one of a group of larger viruses called coronaviruses, and it has infected humans for decades "with many diseases, mostly in the upper respiratory tract", according to Jacqueline's words. Vernarelli, director of the Research Education Department at Secredit University.

These viruses were discovered in the 1960s, and they were known to be animal origin, infecting both animals and humans. In the case of Covid-19, a hypothesis that had not yet been established in bats was spread, and then mutated and infected humans.

“Bats have always been a source of dangerous viruses,” said Sophia Pendley, associate professor at Secrets Heart, including SARS, MERS and Ebola, but noted that SARS Cove 2 may have originated in another animal. Something is certain yet.

According to the "Future Observatory" of the "Dubai Future Foundation", this Corona virus is one of many viruses of animal origin, that is, mutated from animals to humans, in a phenomenon called "flood infection"; these viruses are very common, it is estimated that the animals originate from six of each Ten known infectious diseases, and the origin of three out of four new infectious diseases.

But one should not be concerned about the large number of these viruses. It is true that Covid 19 is highly contagious with symptoms, but it differs from most of its group. From this, Jacqueline said: “Corona viruses are common, and most likely each of us has been exposed to each other without getting sick or having severe symptoms; And without the common cold, this is caused by viruses ».

Until Covid 19, its symptoms ranged from mild to severe, from one patient to another: some had little or no symptoms of it, some had flu-like symptoms, and some needed an artificial respiration system.

But he is nevertheless a danger to mankind, to the extent that one looks to the complete elimination of his entire group; but Sofia excludes this, and said: “It is possible, but far away; the only virus that we eliminated was smallpox, and this took time, and it required a global effort and a vaccination campaign Inclusive".
