Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Characteristics & Ways of Infection

SARS-CoV-2 is a type of coronavirus, and the RNA virus is surrounded by a spinous protein outer layer. It can enter the human body -through air(eg. aerosol droplets produced by breathing, gas from toilet waste...),direct contact(eg. rubbing eyes, eating, toilet seat...).

SARS-CoV-2 *is afraid of high temperature(>38℃ loses infectivity, >56℃ loses activity),UV-C ultraviolet radiation (sunlight is not working here, the UV-C intensity of the sun is not strong enough to kill the virus. Equipment with high-intensity ultraviolet rays light are required for sterilization. Light exposure for more than 30 minutes can make the virus inactivate),afraid of high humidity(relative humidity>95% loses infectivity),afraid of alcohol, bleach, disinfectant, soap detergent(can destroy its protein coat and destroy its activity)

It can survive for several hours in the air and several days on the surface of objects.

COVID-19 variants & symptoms

After SARS-CoV-2 enters the human body, it binds to the cell membrane receptor (ACE2 / neuropilin NRP1) in the human body, and penetrates into the cell to replicate the virus, thereby harming lysed cells, confusing and interfering with the immune response, leading to immune dysfunction, triggering respiratory tract and lungs disease.
The average incubation period is 5-6 days and can be as long as 14 days. If a very small number of special cases are also included, the incubation period is 0-24 days depending on the number of viruses and immune response.

Fever, cough (dry cough, sputum, coughing up of blood, persistent cough), respiratory symptoms ( sore throat, runny nose, sneezing ), muscle aches, fatigue, weakness, abnormal taste or loss of smell, headache, diarrhea, red or irritated eyes
Hypoxemia/happy hypoxia/hidden hypoxia (the oxygen content in arterial blood PaO2 <92%), shortness of breath and distress,
thrombosis, skin rash, discoloration of hands, feet and nails

The new coronavirus (COVID-19) is very tenacious and has a lot of mutant strains. Among them,UK alpha variant of coronavirus - and - Indian delta variant of coronavirus caused another peak of the epidemic. The current serious epidemic in Taiwan is caused by UK alpha variant (2021.5, China Airlines pilot, Wan-Hua community caused large-scale indigenous infections), its viruses are easier to enter cells, multiply more, and are more infectious. Older people with chronic diseases or poor immune systems are prone to rapid onset of disease and become severely ill, and special precautions must be taken.

【LATEST TOP 5 COVID-19 SYMPTOMS】6/24 Dr. WU,CHANG-TENG consolidates * according to 2020/12-2021/4 UK REPORT
Not have been vaccinated – Headache, sore throat, runny nose, fever, persistent cough
1 dose vaccinated - . Headache, runny nose, sore throat, sneezing, persistent cough
2 doses vaccinated - . Headache, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, other

Earlier in June 2021, there was another outbreak in UK. 90% of the new infections were the Indian Delta variant. The Indian variant was 60% more infectious than UK variant. The protective power of Pfizer and AZ vaccines: with only one dose, the Indian variant has "17% " less protection than the British variant. While the difference is slightly lower for those with 2 or 3 dose. Vaccine is still effective against Indian variants, and two or three doses can increase protection.

Around June 15, Taiwan's epidemic slowed down. There are three cases of overseas immigration of Indian variants. 6/19 National Health Command Center, NHCC reports,"From October last year to the present, 278 cases of virus gene sequencing have been completed (199 cases of UK variant, 6 cases of South African variant, 4 cases of Brazilian variant, 19 cases of California variant occurred from the Taoyuan General Hospital, 2 cases of P3 variants closed to the Philippines variant, 5 cases of Indian variants). Over 8,000 gene sequencing cases are proceeding, and the UK variants accounts for 90%. Most of them have not been vaccinated or only received one dose. At present, there's no local cases of Indian variant. 6/19 news：" Taiwanese man flew to Macau been tested confirm with Indian mutant strain. The command center: “Preliminary research and judgment” The infection was more than 1 month."

Taiwan on 6/26, according to* NHCC announcement: * : There are local Indian-variant confirmed cases occurred for the first time. .Both of a grandma and her grandson living in Fangshan Township, Pingtung County (in the south of Taiwan) back from Peru are confirmed as Indian variant cases, among all the related contact people, 10 persons had confirmed positive. There are 6 Indian-variant cases in this 12 persons. 6/27 NEWS UPDATE🔗 All these 12 persons are confirmed as Indian- variant cases after virus genomic sequencing.

7/30 * NHCC announcement: * : Up to date, total Indian- variant cases in Taiwan are 42 cases including 30 cases from immigration, and 12 local infection cases.* in the next few months .

SARS-CoV-2 VS Human Immunity

Vaccination is a powerful solution to the fight against the virus. The more people who have been vaccinated, the better the reproduction and transmission of the virus can be reduced, so that the epidemic can be alleviated and large-scale infections can be ended. Take UK as an example. As of May 2021, two-thirds of the entire population of UK has been vaccinated, and the infection rate, severe hospital admissions, and mortality have all dropped significantly.

According to the follow-up survey report of the Public Health Department of the United Kingdom (June-November 2020),people who have had new coronary pneumonia can maintain at least for -five months can maintain immunity to the virus, and with - 83% resistance.The symptoms of those reinfection people mostly will be mild, but still contagious, regardless of whether there are symptoms or not, it is still possible to transmit the virus to other people.

Regarding the exact situation of the new coronavirus and human immunity, the current medical profession has cautiously reserved that there is no conclusion, and the currently known statistical estimation data can only be taken as a reference.

2021.6.24 UPDATE:According to * government report" Taiwan ,5/11 - 6/22, confirmed cases are 12958, among the confirmed cases, 9288 persons arede-isolation.de-isolation ratio is * 71.7％. 【 YAHOO NEWS 】Until 6/24, totally 599 persons died. " The cause dead ratio is * 4.2％* in the next few months .

Epidemic Prevention key points - Avoid group gathering , Don't go out . Reserve essentials. Sanitation and disinfection

Right now the pandemic in Taiwan is straining and has entered the third level of alert. The main purpose is to prevent people from gathering and moving. In addition to controlling the pandemic, some mandatory regulations (eg. leave contact phone number before go into a shop) can also reduce the willingness to go out shopping.

Make a purchase list to avoid excessive stockpiling. Don't be greedy for cheap, be careful there are lots of defective products with problems. One month's worth of daily necessities is enough. A doctor suggests that you can prepare some non-prescription drugs such as flu antiviral drugs just in case.

Prepare food is the knotty part. lots of people don't cook normally and we can't go out as often as we want. It 's better to cook meal in a large pot and divide it into small packets, such as braised food. Prepare more dry food, onions, garlic, turmeric powder (curry), root vegetables and fruits (bitter melon, pumpkin, sweet potato, radish, potato, peanut), leafy vegetables(boiled water with a little salt) after 10 seconds of rapid blanching, Cool it with cold water, squeeze out the water, knead it into a small ball of the amount you want to eat each time, and freeze it .Cauliflower, sweet potato leaves, spinach, nine-layered pagoda...Almost all vegetables can be frozen and prolonged ( There're few exceptions : chrysanthemum is not good after freezing, all the fibers become very hard and it is difficult to bite and chew), although the taste will be slightly worse , But it is quite convenient and takes up less space. It's a good way to keep consuming the necessary prototype food nutrition during the epidemic prevention period.

Many people will shop online to buy food and groceries. It's better to disinfect them with alcohol at the door before taking into house. Throw away the cartons without entering the door.

Food must be heated, cooked, roasted before eating. Fruits can be -washed with detergentbefore peeling and cutting. If you have an -ozone machine- at home , you can use it more often for disinfection benefits.Ozone can reduce the amount of oxygen in the air or water, and it can also eliminate odors, decompose toxic substances, sterilize, and kill viruses .When using, be careful to avoid too high concentration, which will harm the body.Safe indoor ozone concentration: <0.1ppm / 0.01 ~ 0.1ppm

Everyone should have enough masks now. Disinfection Alcohol is more difficult to buy when the epidemic is suddenly tense. When in this May, If you didn’t get up early in the morning to line up at stores, you will only see the "alcohol sold out" sign ><", there are a lot of excessive expensive available on the Internet, but you just can’t buy alcohol at that price really. If you have no chance to buy disinfection alcohol at retail stores, you can bring your own barrel and buy it directly at the winery - Taiwan Sugar's Liuying Winery in Tainan. Companies or society groups or schools can fill out an application form to purchase 95% alcohol less than 100 liters within a month. Taiwan Sugar Alcohol Announcement

Epidemic prevention diet health care

Bashar Recommendations - Vitamin C + MSM Organic Sulfur

Alien Bashar is inconvenient to give specific opinions on the treatment of COVID-19, but recommends that high-unit nutrition supplements of [vitamin C+MSM organic sulfur] can be used to help eliminate toxins and supplement the body's immune repair and metabolism. Both of these are very basic elements of the body's operation, which can be regarded as simple and safe aids to support recuperation.

Barsha's standard formulation is that adults need to take 6 grams of vitamin C and MSM organic sulfur each day, which can be eaten in divided doses in the morning and evening for three months. However, this amount is much higher than the current professional recommendations of nutrition medicine. I did try this formulation, but I started with a lower safe intake. Both are 2000 mg per day for about 2 weeks. I feel a little bit better generally, my skin is smoother, feel more fresh, my teeth ,gums and respiratory tract are in good condition.

Linoleic acid (LA) food

Professor Christiane Schaffitzel from the School of Biochemistry at the University of Bristol published a journal article in September 2020, showing that "“50 to 100 μM linoleic acid can inhibit the invasion and reproduction of coronavirus cells”. Some severely ill SARS-CoV-2 patients are reported that have phenomenon of lacking linoleic acid.

Linoleic acid is a basic element for regulating immunity, anti-inflammatory and maintaining the functioning of lung cell membranes. Appropriate intake from food can maintain lungs and prevent fibrosis.

Linoleic acid food: mainly exist in seeds and nuts.
"Exist in animal and vegetable oils, safflower oil contains about 75%, sunflower seed oil contains about 60%, corn oil contains about 50%, and linseed oil contains about 15%. Animal fat contains about 2 to 4%."(Wikipedia)
Olive oil (containing 10% linoleic acid), sunflower oil, corn oil, safflower oil, linseed oil, grape seed oil, evening primrose oil, walnut oil, pistachio, peanut, soybean

Other nutrition supplements and medicinal herbs (boost immunity, lung breathing, cold prevention)

Astragalus Root（Astragalus Root / Astragalus membranaceus）Reference 1. Reference 2 The elderly in Chinese medicine (the representative of tonics). Resupply lung and spleen with active energy. The defending energy helps to resist external colds (wind evil), regulate sweat and immune response. Stabilize defense and enhance physical fitness.
Artemisinin-reference Extract from Artemisia annua. Rich in minerals zinc, gallium and selenium. Antibacterial, antiviral, immune regulation, prevent pulmonary fibrosis, enhance cardiovascular effects, anti-plasmodium drugs.
Monolaurin（Monolaurin）reference A fatty acid contained in coconut oil. It can dissolve the protein membrane (coat) of microorganisms or coronaviruses, inhibit virus replication, and have antibacterial and antiviral effects.

！ The above is for reference only. If you have symptoms of chronic diseases or infectious diseases, do not take home remedies by yourself, so as not to delay the illness or worsen the injury. Let doctors prescribe treatments, which can be more efficient and quicker to recover.
