This is Sara's Cove two. it belongs to the family of Corona viruses named for the crown like spikes on their surfaces Stars Cove two can cause covered 19 a contagious viral infection that attacks primarily your throat and lungs. What actually happens in your body when you contract the Corona virus? what what What exactly? exactly exactly exactly causes causes causes your your your body? body body body to to to develop develop? develop pneumonia? pneumonia? How would a vaccine work The Corona virus must infect living cells in order to reproduce. let's have a closer look inside the virus. genetic material contains the information to make more copies of itself a protein shell provides a hard protective enclosure for the genetic material as the virus travels between the people it infects an outer envelope allows allows the the virus virus to to to infect infect infect cells cells cells cells by by by. by merging merging merging merging with with. with with the the the cells. cells cells outer outer membrane. membrane. the envoy. Are spikes of protein molecules both a typical influenza virus and the new Corona virus use their spikes like a key to get inside the cell in your body where it takes over the cells internal machinery, repurposing it to build the components of new viruses when an infected person talks, coughs or sneezes droplets carrying the virus may land in your mouth or nose and then move into your lungs once inside your. The virus comes in contact with cells in your throat knows or lungs. One spike on the virus inserts into a receptor molecule on your healthy cell membrane like a key in a lock. This action allows the virus to get inside your cell next the virus travels inside a sac made from your cell membrane to your cells. nucleus. That's where your cell houses all its genetic material, then the viral envelope and cell membrane Sac combine allowing the viral genetic material to leave the sac and enter the nucleus The viral viral genetic genetic material material material hijacks hijacks hijacks hijacks the the the the energy energy energy and and and materials materials. materials materials in in in your. your your cells cells nucleus. nucleus to make. of cops. Of itself some of the genetic material moves out of the nucleus, then attaches to the protein building parts of your cell called ribosomes. These then use information from the genetic material to make other viral proteins such as the spike protein a packaging structure in your cell, then carries the spikes investigates, which merge with your cells. outer layer the cell membrane all the parts needed to create a new virus gathered just beneath your cells. membrane then a. Virus begins to butt off from the cells membrane now with the virus spreading in your body. How can you develop pneumonia symptoms For this? we'll have to look into your lungs. Each lung has separate sections called Lopes normally as you breathe air moves freely through your trachea or wind pipe, then through large tubes called bronc through smaller tubes called broccoli and finally into tiny sacks called Alvin your Airways and Viola are flexible and springy when you breathe in each air sack inflates like a small balloon and when you exhale the sax deflate small blood vessels called capillaries surround your alveoli oxygen from the air you breathe passes into your capillaries and then carbon dioxide from your body passes out of your capillaries into your Viola so that your lungs can get rid of it when you exhale your Airways catch most germs in the mucus that lines your tracki, a Bronco and broccoli. In a healthy body hair like cilia lining, the tubes constantly push the mucus and germs out of your Airways where you might expect them by coughing normally cells of your immune system attack fireplaces and germs that make it past your mucus in Sili A and enter your alveoli. However, if your immune system is weakened, like in the case of a Corona virus infection, the virus can overwhelm your immune cells and your Broncos and Alvin Eli become inflamed as your your immune immune system system system attacks. attacks. attacks The The the multiplying multiplying multiplying viruses viruses viruses. the. the inflammation can cause. To fill with fluid, making it difficult for your body to get the oxygen it needs you could develop lower ammonia where one love of your lungs is affected or you could have Broncos ammonia that affects many areas of both lungs. Demoniac may cause difficulty breathing chest pain, coughing, fever and chills confusion, headache, muscle pain and fatigue. It can also lead to more serious complications. Respiratory failure occurs when you're breathing becomes so difficult that you need a machine called a ventilator to help you breathe. These are the machines that save lives and that medical device companies currently ramp up production for whether you would develop these symptoms depends on a lot of factors such as your age and whether you already have an existing condition while this all sounds scary, the push to develop a Corona virus vaccine is moving at high speed studies of other Corona. Led most researchers to assume that people who have recovered from a star's Cove two infection could be protected from reinfected for a period of time, but that assumption needs to be backed by empirical evidence and some studies suggest otherwise there are several different approaches for a potential vaccine against the Corona virus. The basic idea is that you would get a shot that contains faint versions of the virus, The vaccine would expose your body to a version of the virus that is too weak to cause infection, but just strong enough. Stimulate an immune response within a few weeks cells in your immune system would make markers called antibodies, which would be specific for only the Corona virus or specifically its spike protein anybodies then attach to the virus and prevent it from attaching to your cells Your immune system, then response to signals from the antibodies by consuming and destroying the clumps of viruses if you then catch the real virus at a later stage, your body would recognize. And destroy it. In other words, your immune system is now primed collecting evidence on whether this will be possible safe and effective is part of what's taking researchers so long to develop a vaccine. It's a race against time to develop a vaccine, a mid a pandemic each step in vaccine development usually takes months if not years and a Bowl of accident broke records by being ready in five years. The hope here is to develop one for the new. Virus in a record-breaking 12 to 18 months, while all this will take time stay home if you can to protect the most vulnerable and don't forget to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds and as often as possible, now, what would happen if you didn't do that for an entire year? Well, that's a story for another. What if?
