‘Vitamin C Can Be A Great Antidote To Fight Covid-19'
Mail Today|March 23, 2020
Estimates on how many people will die from Coronavirus worldwide range into millions but such guesses fail to take into account all the actions that are already taking place to contain and suppress the pandemic.
‘Vitamin C Can Be A Great Antidote To Fight Covid-19'

There is a great requirement for mass testing for Coronavirus using Rapid Home testing kits and then lab testing RT-PCR kits. Of course, this goes hand in hand with the need to create more advanced facilities for testing, treatment and quarantining.

So, what happens to your body when you get infected with the novel Coronavirus?

It spreads from droplets from the nose and mouth or when someone infected is coughing or sneezing. These droplets land on surfaces and if you pick up the virus with your hands and touch your nose, eyes or mouth, it can get transmitted to you.

When it enters your body, the virus sits in the throat and the upper respiratory tract. In most cases, around 80 to 85% of the symptoms are mild and they’ll pass quickly, you may get a sore throat, or a dry cough. As your immune system kicks in and your body starts to fight the invading virus, your body temperature goes up as it tries to create a hostile environment for the virus.
