What is the most dangerous day in “Covid-19” disease that may determine whether the patient will recover or die, and what happens to the patient from the first day of infection until recovery?
About 40% of coronavirus cases are asymptomatic, and only 20% of cases with symptoms become severe or critical, according to a report in Business Insider.
The answer to the question “What is the most dangerous day in Covid-19 disease?” is the ninth and tenth days.
In the following, we show what is happening to the patient since the first day, during which we will reveal why the ninth and tenth days were the most dangerous in the emerging corona virus infection, according to studies conducted in China on “Covid-19” patients, and press reports:
The incubation period
day1
This day begins the moment a person catches the new coronavirus and enters their body.
The incubation period is the time between the virus entering the body and the onset of symptoms.
Day 4-5 of nursery
During this time the person has no symptoms, and during that time the affected person likely does not know they are sick.
The problem here is that a person can transmit the virus during the pre-symptomatic stage.
Symptoms period
Day 1 of the symptomatic period
The first day on which symptoms appear is usually the fourth or fifth day after infection, because, as mentioned above, the previous stage is the incubation stage of the virus.
Symptoms start mild, and patients usually have a fever, followed by a cough.
There may be diarrhea or nausea a day or two before this, which could be a sign of a more severe infection.
Today 5
In severe cases, symptoms can begin to worsen, and patients may have difficulty breathing, especially if they are elderly or have a pre-existing health condition.
More severe cases of COVID-19 tend to worsen on the fifth to tenth day after symptoms begin.

Today 7
This is the time it took, on average, for some patients in Wuhan to be admitted to hospital after symptoms began.
Other patients in Wuhan fell short of breath on this day.
Today 8
On this day, patients in severe cases are likely to have shortness of breath, pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome, an illness that may require intubation.
Intubation is a procedure in which a tube is used that connects a ventilator to the lung's airways through the mouth or nose.
According to the Mayo Clinic, acute respiratory distress syndrome is a condition that occurs when fluid builds up in the tiny, flexible air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs.
The fluid prevents the lungs from filling with enough air, which means less oxygen reaches the bloodstream, depriving organs of the oxygen they need to function.
ARDS is often fatal, and many people with ARDS do not survive.
The risk of death increases with age and disease severity.
Of the people who survive ARDS, some recover fully while others have permanent lung damage.
Today 9
A study showed that some patients in Wuhan developed sepsis, an infection caused by an aggressive immune response.
And sepsis - also known as sepsis - is a condition that represents a complication of infection and threatens the life of the patient, and it occurs when the body's immune system reacts sharply to the infection, which leads to damage to the body itself.
Sepsis can be caused by problems spreading from other parts of the body, such as chest infections, urinary tract infections, and wounds.
For his part, Ukrainian doctor Andrei Penkov says that the most dangerous period for patients with "Covid-19" infection is between the ninth and tenth days, when shortness of breath appears, and acute respiratory distress syndrome appears.
And the doctor saw - in a press interview - that such an emergency, as a rule, is not related to bacterial processes, but to an excessive reaction by the immune system.
The specialist in respiratory diseases confirmed that the patient may suffer in the second week of new immune changes in the blood, and witness an increase in all indicators of reactions from inflammation.
Day 10 to 11
If patients have worsening symptoms, they will likely be admitted to the intensive care unit.
Today 12
If the patient is recovering, he feels that his fever has begun to recede.
Today 16
Coughing may disappear on this day in recovered patients.
Today 17-21
By these days the patient is usually recovered and discharged from the hospital or died. On average, people in Wuhan recovered from the virus and were discharged or died after 2.5 to 3 weeks, according to a study in The Lancet.
Today 19
Patients who are recovering may begin to improve their shortness of breath.
Today 27
Patients may stay in the hospital longer, recover and be discharged.
But the symptoms may not go away completely, as some coronavirus patients have reported having symptoms for several months, including chest pain, shortness of breath and nausea, as well as heart palpitations and loss of taste and smell.
