I am going to talk about the 5W1H (What, When, Why, Where, Who and How) regarding about this situation.
What is this disease?
The coronavirus can be defined as any of a group of RNA that cause a variety of diseases in human and other animals. Symptoms may include fevers, cough,
tiredness and difficulty in breathing. So... if you feel some of these synptoms, I recommend you to stay at home and quarantine yourself and try to seek for medical help without using physical contact (going out) as it may increase the chances of the disease to spread from one another.
When did the outbreak happen?
WHO (World Health Organization) was informed that there were a cluster of severe pneumonia cases on 31st December 2019. However, there were coronavirus cases since 1965 but they were not as severe as the current situation. The year 2019 was the year when this type of coronavirus was first discovered, hence its name COVID- 19 ( CoronaVirus Disease -2019)
Where was it first discovered?
Scientist and experts have pinned a point on where how the virus first spread from animal to human. The first cases were reported to be in Wuhan, China, specifically in a wet market where they sold wild animals for consumption. Possums, Cats, Porcupines and especiallu BATS ( where the virus first may have started)
Who are infected?
The coronavirus has infected 196 countries including Indonesia and 1 international conveyance (The Diamond Princess Cruise Ship harbored in Yokohama, Japan). Everyone from newborns to old generations can get infected from this virus as it is spread easily from sneeze and cough droplets to little to be seen by the naked eye. Although the mortality rate is higher for older people.
Why can this virus easily spread worldwide internationally and quickly at the same time?
The most spread is from droplets produced when an infected person coughs, which are inhaled by people nearby. Transmission from touching contaminated surfaces hasn't been shown yet, though recent tests from scientists suggest its possible-one reason why you should train not to touch your face and wash your hands as frequent as possible.
How to reduce the risk of getting coronavirus COVID-19?
Right now as 24 March 2020, there are no vaccines to prevent the disease, However here are some precautions to take.
1.Wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub
2. Cover your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or flexed elbow when you cough or sneeze
3. Avoid close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell
4. Stay home and self-isolate from others in the household if you feel unwell
5. Don't touch your eyes, nose and mouth if your hands are not clean
