The new coronavirus loads a terrible punch. It penetrates deep into your lungs, triggering our immune cells to go crazy and damage small air sacs– the alveoli– where oxygen normally flows into our blood.

The coronavirus has had a massive influence on our lives: how we work, communicate and gather together. At this point, we’re familiar with how to protect ourselves from the infection– and the disease it causes, COVID-19– by washing our hands thoroughly, wearing masks and social distancing.
Many people who get the infection are slightly ill and will recuperate in the house. For others, the infection can be extreme, even fatal.
One substantial way the virus attacks is deep in our lungs.

— What are the signs of the brand-new coronavirus?
The Center for Illness Control advises on its website that “symptoms may appear 2-14 days after direct exposure to the virus.
— How can I secure myself from the coronavirus?
The Center for Disease Control has a comprehensive list of guidelines at cdc.gov, but the main pointers to bear in mind are: wash your hands typically; avoid close contact with other people; cover your mouth and nose with a fabric face cover (like a mask or bandanna) when around others; cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow; regularly clean and disinfect regularly touched surfaces in your home.
— If you’ve had the brand-new coronavirus, are you now immune?
The Center for Illness Control specifies on its site: “We do not know yet if having antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 can protect somebody from getting contaminated with that virus again, or for how long that protection may last. Researchers are doing research studies to answer those questions.”
