And an explanation of the symptoms of coronavirus are as follows:
Not many people know how the corona virus or COVID-19 can infect more than 75 thousand people worldwide and kill as many as 2 thousand people. But one thing is clear that in serious cases, the corona virus can have devastating effects on the body and not only affect the lungs.
The following symptoms occur in the body when infected with Coronavirus quoted from Healthline
1. The Lungs
Like other viral diseases including SARS and MERS-CoV, Coronoavirus is a disease that attacks the respiratory system so that the lungs are the organs that are first affected. Initial symptoms appear after 2 to 14 days when exposed to the virus.
The severity varies from mild or asymptomatic to fatal symptoms. Data on more than 17 thousand patients in China found that nearly 81 percent of cases were mild. The rest are severe or critical. When infected, COVID-19 causes fluid to leak from blood vessels in the lungs. The fluid collects in the air sacs or alveoli which makes it difficult for the lungs to transfer oxygen into the blood.
2. Stomach and intestines
Some people with Coronavirus report gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea although it is far less common than problems with the lungs. This was known after researchers reported the finding of the COVID-19 virus in stool samples.
3. Heart and Blood vessels
Coronavirus can also affect the heart and blood vessels. Insufficient blood entering the body’s tissues due to lack of oxygen makes the heart rhythm become irregular or blood pressure becomes low so it requires medication. But so far there is no indication that COVID-19 can directly damage the heart.
4. Liver and kidney
When liver cells become inflamed or damaged, this can trigger an enzyme leak into the bloodstream. One report found signs of liver damage in COVID-19 patients. Although it is still unclear whether a virus or drug causes the patient to have damage in the liver.
5. Immune System
When experiencing any infection, the immune system will respond by attacking foreign viruses or bacteria. Although this immune response can cleanse the body of infection, but sometimes it can cause damage to the body. This condition is often called a ‘cytokine storm’. Immune cells produce cytokines to fight infection, but if too much is released it can cause problems. Much damage in the body during COVID-19 is called sepsis syndrome caused by a complex immune reaction.
